Cant control over car stereo

This is my new Nano that i have purchaced a few months ago and havent had the chance to play around with it until my car was finished and ready to drive.
Anyway, my car stereo is a PIONEER DEH 3100UB and works fantastic. It has the ipod enabled usb. I have a Ipod NANO 1.0.2pc model and when i plug it into the car stereo (my stereo head deck is hidden away from sight) i have to scroll through 150 songs that i have over the car head deck. I through i was able to use my nano to select albums and songs?? Now i have to ask my passenger to look under the dash to click the next song. When nano is plugged in, the song title shows that is currently playing. But i cant use the nano keys in order to shuffle, chose and scroll albums or songs. Only throught the car stereo.... What the ****? :/

Contact PIONEER for a work-a-round.

IPhone 5s starts over playlist every time car is turned off and one or gets unplugged from car stereo

So I have a iPhone 5s and every single freaking time I turn the car off and then back on / or unplug the phone it starts playing music from the very first song alphabetically so basically what that means is every time I turn the car off and on the same stupid song plays every single freaking time I turn my car on!!!! I am ready to throw this phone like a frisbee over this. I play my music off of playlists I set up and I play them on shuffle but for whatever reason (now this didn't happen much in the past with my 4s, however towards the end of the 4s last couple months I had it... it was starting to get a little weird as well with where it stopped and started on the playlist when the car was turned off but nothing like this 5s) but with the new 5S every single time the car stereo get turned off and then on it does this. I have a newer car stereo probably three years old with a USB sticking out of the front so you just plug the USB directly into the face and it goes straight in and should function in theory but this is crap. I use authentic Apple USB cables for the 5S but just cannot figure this out I've made sure I do not have repeat on I've turned shuffle off turn shuffle back on sync iPhone etc.... what the heck s the problem? For such an expensive phone and a Supposed highly advanced technology by Apple this should be the last thing this phone should be doing. Is it the phone or is it the software whatever it is this is a serious problem for because when it comes to my music you don't mess with my music! I have mentioned this to other 5S owners and they have also experienced the same issue with their car stereos well. Why is it such a mind-boggling problem to just have the song play from where you left it? I thought maybe updating the phone with the latest and greatest software update with maybe fix the problem but no it didn't do a single thing. HELP!!!!! :(

Status update: I tried my roommates iPhone five and I got similar results disappearing playlist when phone is disconnected or stereo is turned off in car, starts playing songs alphabetically when turned back on were plugged back in. So I know it's just not my phone it's a more universal problem with the 5 / 5S. I talk about this problem with customers I come a cross at work some have similar problems. I also try my phone on their car stereo and I also get similar results. My roommate who has the iPhone 5 recently got rid of it and got a Samsung note 3 this phone has no problem remembering where it was in the song when it was disconnected from the car stereo just like it's supposed to it just works. You turn the car off music stops turn the car on music begins playing where it was on the playlist it was playing in the same exact order it doesn't give you problems like the iPhone 5 / 5s. Also some customers I have talked to who have the 5C don't seem to really have this problem.

IPOD frozen after use with Jensen car stereo with IPOD control cable

I recently installed a Jensen MSR7007 stereo and connected the IPOD mini with a special Jensen cable that allows the IPOD to be controlled from the radio without having to touch the IPOD. It works beautifully and the IPOD display reads "JENSEN RADIO" while it is playing. However when I disconnected the IPOD it was frozen (locked up) with the Jensen Radio display still on it. It was inoperable when I disconnected it and I couldn't even turn it off.
Please Help.

I am having a similar problem - I just purchased a pioneer DEH-P690UB indash car stereo, but I can not get the radio to recognize my iPod mini (N/A USB). The installar has a newer iPod, which worked when he tested the system, so I have been looking for the new firmware to see if that will help.
Can anyone direct me to the firm ware downloads?

Audio skipping/stuttering over lightning - car stereo

Hi,
I've recently bought an iPhone 6 (64GB, currently running iOS 8.1.1) as well as a new car stereo (Sony CDX-DAB500) which has a USB port. When playing music (or any audio) from the iPhone over the lightning/USB connection, it quite often pauses, stutters or skips for around a second each time before resuming. it can happen up to 4 or 5 times during each song. The problem happens when playing through the built in music or podcast app. I'm using the standard lightning cable that ships with the iPhone.
Any ideas why this could be occurring and/or how I could go about fixing it? it's a minor issue but it's getting increasingly annoying.
Thanks
James

- Contact the car sypstem manufacturer/go to their support site
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
It could be that the iOS update caused the problem.

Since my upgrade to IOS 6, cannot control music from car stereo

Since upgrading to IOS 6 I cannot control the music from my car stereo, nor are the artist, song, or album names no longer displayed. Worked with IOS 5.

Do you drive a BMW? If so, my friend has the same problem. It is a problem with your car's software, probably, not the iPhone.

After iOS5 update, iPod no longer connects to car stereo

Hi,
my husband and I both have an iPod touch 4th generation.
We also have a Dodge Caravan with a car stereo, that lets up hook up the iPods and control them over the display. The cable does not charge the iPods, but we knew that.
I have updatedt my iPod a while ago and never encountered any problems with the car stereo.
My husband updated his iPod to iOS5 today, and the car stereo does not connect via the cable. On the iPods display it just says, an error has ocurred.
Would that be a hardware issue? The iPod is a month or two past warranty. We already tried restarting and resetting the iPod (not to factory settings).
Is there maybe a way, to return the iPod to iOS4?
Thanks for any help

Sometimes, when you cannot "see" your ipod, it is because the drive that was assigned to the ipod, when you connected it, is already being used by the other devise. Your ipod is connected, but is "under" the other item, which means that you have to disconnect that item, so that you can "see" it. It will not be one of the drives that are normally associated with the computer like the C drive, or the ones assigned to your disc drives. It would be a drive that was assigned to an external devise, or another USB devise. This may or may not be your problem, but it is worth a shot.

IPod Touch 3G w/ stopped working with car stereo/docking speakers

After I upgraded to OS 4, my iPod Touch 3g stopped working through the USB port of my car stereo (just says "reading" and never progresses from there). It also stopped working through the docking station (basically a large clock radio) that I bought for my living room -- it will recharge and play music through the speakers but the docking station and its remote can no longer control the music (can't advance to the next song or anything else), so I have to physically change things on the ipod itself.
I was told by Crutchfield (where I'd purchased the car stereo) that this was a known problem with Apple -- that with OS4, many of the devices that previous worked with iPods no longer worked, and that this would be resolved in a later version of the OS that would provide some backward compatibility. However, I can't find anything at all about this.
If anyone knows more information about this, or has a link to where I might be able to read more, I'd appreciate the info. I selected and installed both the (almost new!!) car stereo and docking station specifically because they allowed me to connect and control my iPod, and now I've lost that functionality and the $$ I put into those devices (over $300 total)!

I apologize for posting a bit early. Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off. They also recommended a reset of the Touch. After doing these two things it is now working. Maybe this will help someone else.

After updating to 4.3.5, my iPod Touch nolonger works on my car stereo! Any idea how to restore Version 4.3.4

Don't know if any other users have had this problem?
I have updated my iPod Touch (4th Generation) to the latest software version (4.3.5) but now I can no longer use my iPod Touch with my car stereo.
I drive a brand new Chevrolet Orlando, & until I updated to 4.3.5, My iPod Touch work perfectly with the inbuilt car stereo, including the steering mounted controls & displaying track names, artiest, album, Etc.
Ever since the update, I have lost the display on the stereo, but it still recognises that I have pluged the iPod in.
The only way I can get my iPod to play is by playing a track through the inbuilt speaker (on the iPod) & then plugging it into the car stereo.
When I do this thou, I have no control over what is being played as I am unable to skip tracks/play list/Etc & I have no track information, which I could do when my iPod Touch was running software version 4.3.4 & below!
Is there any way I can reinstall version 4.3.4? I have tried to do a restore through iTunes, but it keeps installing 4.3.5! I have tried to reset my iPod, but again it reinstalls 4.3.5
Any help & advice would be great!

Just to add a bit more information here! LOL!
Tried the followind devises on the car stereo & here are the results -
My Wifes iPhone 3G running iOS 4.3.2 = Worked fine!
My Sons iPhone 4G running iOS 4.3.4 = Worked fine!
My Sons iPod Classic running iOS 2.2.1 = Worked fine!
My Daughters iPod Touch (3rd Gen) running iOS 4.3.3 = Worked fine!
I think this rules out the problem being with my iPod Touch, as it is the only Apple product we as a family own which has been updated to 4.3.5! The rest of my family are now holding off updating there's! LOL!!

Iphone 3g and Panasonic car stereo problems

Hi,
I have an iphone 3g and a Panasonic CQ-RX400U car stereo. The stereo has a front-panel USB port. I've been using the cable that came with the phone to connect to the stereo and everything has been working great. All of the stereo's iPod controls handled navigation through the iPhone perfectly, and the unit muted when a call came in, etc...
Just today though, it stopped working. The stereo gets stuck, alternating between "READING" and "PAUSE" with no playback. Nothing I tried has worked. I think this may have been the first time I've tried to connect since I upgraded to 2.1 on the phone.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Thanks for helping!

Well
I did some more tests on some of my other buds Iphones
The 2.1 Operating System is definitely the culpret.
Everyone First Gen Iphone and Iphone 3G I tried that had ver 1.xx and 2.xx worked below version 2.1
So, I hope apple fixes this and we get some help bud, cause they screwed something up bigtime when they upgraded the OS.
Hopefully we will have a answer tomorrow when everything opens again. Very disappointed in Apple.
Some of my friends won't even touch the new update since they got their phones because they are afraid the 2.1 will kill their accessories usage in there other brands of USB Decks they just bought for their cars over the past few months.
I strongly agree with them at this time not to Upgrade, whether it fixes stuff or not, would rather sacrifice features and fixes than spent more money on the **** accessories.
Very disappointed that Apple can kill off accessories like this and wonder why people are switching phones due to the cost of accessories that work and die with these new iphones.
We wait here patiently apple for you to reply and see whats causing this stupid error.
THANKS

Playing thu car stereo that only supports MP3 or WMA files

How do I get my ipod to play thru my car stereo.. it appears my car will only recognize MP3 or WMA files. Cant seem to find a way to have ipod files be created in a format that will work with my car stereo.. Help???

You can convert songs by using the iTunes Advanced menu -> Create XXX Version. What type of version is controlled by the encoder selected in the iTunes Preferences -> General pane. Click on the "Import Settings" button to change.
When you use this, you will get an MP3 copy of each song you convert. You can find them in your library by sorting by the "kind" column and searching for "MPEG audio File".

Ios 4 3gs Now will not play through my usb/ipod connection on car stereo

With new ios4 I cannot get my 3gs to play through my car stereo's ipod connection (usb)anymore. os3.1 or whatever the old os was worked fine. The car stereo controlled the tracks, artists, etc.. Now I plug the phone in and get a message saying it is not optimized to work with the stereo and may be subject to noise and interference, then the only option to click is "dismiss" and will not work. Any ideas? I tried the re sync and still will not work.

The method used to recognize the USB device has a clever bit of code in the firmware to improve the connect time once the initial handshake with the device has been established. So after the update to iOS4, the host device (Car Stereo) still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device (iPhone prior to updating to iOS4) The updated client device (Your iPhone with iOS4), must fool the host device (Your car stereo), into believing that it is an entirely new device. This is done by connecting your iPhone to the stereo head USB port with the iPhone switched off completely. This is achieved by holding down the top power button on the iPhone until the red slide bar comes up and prompts you to shut the iPhone down. Do this and then with the car stereo switched on, plug the iPhone into the USB socket and wait till the iPhone starts of it's own accord. If it does not start, press the top power button on the phone until it starts. This will force the host device (Your car stereo) and the client device (Your iPhone) to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.
Now we can all stop beating up both the Car Stereo manufacturers and Apple and focus on being civil gentle folk that enjoy discussions about how clever we all are to be able to use amazing technology to get ourselves over-stressed and irritable.

BB Q10 is troublesome for my bluetooth car stereo due to too many contacts

In the past my various blackberrys have had no problem connecting via bluetooth to my car stereos or various hands free units. I do have 9,000+ contacts on my blackberry. Typically a car hands free unit will only take the fist few hundred or thousand. This has never bothered me as i dial manually from my backberry phone. However on the Q10 it seems to keep feeding contacts to my Kenwood car stereo, result being that my stereo displays continuously the message "downloading" over any other display - which is frustrating to say the least. I have spoken at length with Kenwood support, and they seem unable to help, but keep leading back to trying to find a way for the Q10 to connect on the bluetooth for voice / calls, but turn off sharing of contacts or data. The kenwood product does not have any control on this unfortunately. The Q10 also seems to support phone book auto synchronisation. I know others have had issues on the bluetooth car connection for the Q 10, but no one seem to have the same issue i do - of too many contacts, or not that i have seen. The phone works fine via the bluetooth connection, it is simply a pain that i cannot see my tracks or radio station on the stereo because it is "downloading". Does anyone have a solution for this issue from the blackberry side, if not is there likely to be one in the future? I have been impressed by the fact that blackberry have made other changes recently such as resolution size of photographs etc, wonder if we can expect other tweaks.

In Italy we have some Radio Sender which can be connected to the iPhone and send the music to the FM receiver.
They are practically useless. Even if you can tune in to find a range free from Radio sender it is stable only for 1 Mile. Then you get a strong radio over your music.
BT should be more stable but I do not believe it will give you a stronger signal compared to a direct cable connection.
You really need an amplifier.

After an update, my touch is no longer recognized by iTunes or USB input on car stereo

Formerly I was able to connect my touch to both iTunes (Windows) and through USB on my car stereo (Kenwood). After updating the touch's IOS I cannot connect to either. I am able to connect to the car stereo through blue tooth. I did open an iCloud account for the touch but I doubt that is a factor. I have tried turning the unit completely off and that does not help. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it making certain I used the 64-bit version. It is still not recognized. Any ideas on what to try next?

As it turns out, this was a hardware failure. One of the pins on the bottom connector was bent and caused the problem. What burns me is the problem initially showed itself after updating to ios 5.0.1. I tried a reset over the weekend (including deleletion of my entire music collection) to no avail. I took it in to the local Apple store today and they essentially turned it into a paper weight. After putting it into recovery mode the unit would no longer turn on at all. Unfortunately they wouldn't replace the unit for free because it was 11 days out of warranty. I could have lived with the Touch with all my music on it, but it was worthless after the music was deleted. I feel like they should have replaced it for free. I was planning on upgrading to the next iPhone but this has shaken my confidence (as well as irritating the living **** out of me).
To be fair, Apple did replace the player at a reduced rate. That was better than nothing.

IOS6 bluetooth connection with car stereo

With my iPhone 4S running iOS5, my after-market car stereo bluetooth was able to read my song name, artist name, ect. Now that I upgraded to iOS6 my Kenwood receiver cannot read this data while connected via bluetooth. Since the data can't be read, the steering wheel control to search/skip a song forward or back also no longer works. I tested the car stereo last night with an iOS5 phone and it worked correctly, so I know the problem is related to the bluetooth iOS6.
