Car stereo - 3GS "accessory not supported"

Anyone else got this? My 08 Subaru STI has a ipod connector that charged my 1st Gen Iphone and allowed me to play music from it on my car stereo. Now I got the 3GS and it says the same thing as before "accessory not supported" but this time it says it won't be able to charge.
Anybody with something similiar? Has this been a change for 3GS that non supported accessorys won't charge now?
Thanks

This was changed with the last generation iPhone and iPods. They are using the usb pin on the dock connector to charge the phone now instead of the firewire pin as used on your old first gen iphone. There are companies that do make adapters though. Search for "ipod 5v adapter" in google.

  • Accessory not supported by iphone message keeps appearing . . .  .

    This morning, my iPhone began to randomly display a "accessory not supported by this iPhone" message and keeps asking if I want to go into Airplane mode. On more than one occasion, the phone was not plugged into ANY accessory and was simply sitting on the table.
    On another, it was playing music via the headphone jack into my car stereo.
    I'm running V. 3.1.3, upgraded when it came out and have had no incident until today.
    Any ideas? Not a big problem, just more of an annoyance.

    Check your phone's dock connector and make sure it is free of lint and other pocket debris.

  • Accessory not supported

    ipod syas accessory not supported when i put it to my car adapter and headphones

    Yes it will cause you grief. Go tot the Apple store and get them to replace the keyboard, as that is the same message I got just prior to 2 keyboard failures. The iPad puts too much stress on the keyboard connector tab, and it eventually becomes loose and non functional.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Did this start happening after an iOS update? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

    Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

    That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
    In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

  • Accessory not supported by iphone just appeared.  HUH?!?

    I have an iphone 4 and for several accessories i get "this accessory not supported by iphone"  I cleaned the contacts and still get it - any ideas?  It never happened until recently and it happens in teh car adapter and other adapters.

    Clean the dock connector with a soft dry brush.
    In the future, try a search before posting... this issue is discussed regularly.

  • Keep getting accessory not supported when charging in romania.  I have a converter for wall and a att USB cord

    Keepgettimg accessory not supported when charging in romania. I have all the correct connections. ie wall converter, USB cord etc.

    If you know the IP address of the printer, then you can check if there is a working path between the Mac and printer. This can be done using Network Utility or a web browser.
    If you open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, you can enter the IP address of the Kodak and then press the Ping button. If there is a working connection then you should get a reply to each packet sent.
    With the web browser, many devices have a built-in web server so you can type the IP address of the printer into the browser and if there is a working connection then you will open the printers web page.
    So, are you able to confirm you have a working connection between the Mac and printer?

  • Camera kit accessory not supported

    Hi,
    I have an iPad 1 and a camera connection kit that works fine. It was working up to a week ago on a new ipad2. I updated my mac to 10.7.1 and synced my ipad2 for the first time in a while before going on a trip. During the trip I tried to use the camera kit but the ipad2 is now saying accessory not supported. The camera connector still works fine with my old ipad1
    Any help or ideas?
    Paul

    Thanks for the reply
    - Both are the same version 4.3.5
    - The reset has not worked
    - Both the SD card reader and the USB device when plugged in will cause the ipad2 to say "This accessory is not supported by this iPad"
    - They both work on the old iPad and I can download the images
    Interestingly, I also had a problem sync'ing some jpegs to the ipad2 and had to delete the latest folder so the sync could complete. iTunes was just saying that the ipad could not display those files, yes they're just straight jpegs.
    I've backed up the device, I'm going to try a full reset

  • This Accessory Not Supported: HDMI Adapter on iPad2

    When I attach my Digital AV (HDMI) adapter to my iPad, an error message appears saying "This Accessory Not Supported". Is there a problem with the adapter? Or with my iPad.

    For the 4G
    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    For the iPhone, try another cable.

  • Lightening to 30 Pin Connector- Accessory not Supported

    My Lightening to 30 PIN Apple connector is having issues with my ipod nano- 7th generation.
