Car stereo not compatible with iPhone since iOS 7

Since installing iOS 7, my iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with my Pioneer car stereo to use video. I can still access my music and contact for bluetooth, but when I try to use Netflix for example, it gives an error message on my phone. This was working normally when I was using iOS 6, so there is a glitch with iOS 7. I can't seem to get any help from Pioneer or Apple support...so I'm asking you folks to help me please! Is there a way to get this working again or do I have to wait for the next software update?

Turns out restarting my car and/or rebooting my iphone "fixed" the issue. Apparently this was unrelated to the iOS 7.2 upgrade. Honda + iPhone has been rock solid (even if the Honda Fit UI is terrible), so I'm not sure what to make of this problem. Maybe a glitch? Who knows.

His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
Good luck!

Find My iPhone not compatible with iPhone 4

and is not compatible with iPhone 4.

This explains how to solve this issue:

Not compatible with speaker since update to 3.1 (and other issues)

I have an Altec-Lansing T612 speaker that I specifically bought because it was advertised as "works with iPhone". No problems until I recently updated the phone's OS. Now when I put the iPhone in the speaker dock, I get the message "this device is not compatible with iPhone. Do you want to turn on Airplane Mode, etc. etc.". Worst of all, the phone no longer charges while in the dock.
Also since the update, my battery drains in a few (3 or 4) hours if bluetooth is on, and apps open up to the initial screen and then close immediately: it takes several tries before I can use them.
I have no idea how to reverse the OS update or if that's even possible (going to search around on this site for info, but in the meantime if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!). Mainly posting in the hope that someone from Apple will see this and add to their list of 3.1 issues to be dealt with!

I have installed 0S5 but restoring the backup doesn't work. the following messages appears: An error accurred while restoring this iphone (-20), followed by another message: because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with iphone being restored (my iphone is 3GS), I tried restoring the factory settings and then restore the backup, but the same problems and I have lost all my contacts, pictures etc

Hi Ckuan,
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Deleting the correupted back up means to delete the information of one month since the last back up I made is one month ago.....right?
This back up I made right before I restored my iphone. During the restore however my OS was upgraded to 5.1.1. and reading the comments on the internet it seems I am not the only one whom experience this problem.
Can it be that if I downgrade my OS back to 5.1. the back up will not be considered as corrupted? If so, how do I downgrade the iphone?
Thanks in advance.

When i am trying to restore backup to my iphone, its coming up that back is not compatible with iphone. Please help me restore backup.

Hi...
I'm trying to erase the restored backup on my MacBook Pro that was meant for my iPhone 5... I found out the software is corrupted and continued to affect my phone. Where do I find it And how do I erase it to start all over?
On a Mac your backups are in /Users/<your username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
(Open Finder, hold the Option key, and select "Library" from the Go menu to get to your user's Library folder.)
In Windows, the fastest way to get to your backup folders is:
- (Windows 7 and below) Start -> Run -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
- (Windows 8) Search -> type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return.
From Application Data, navigate to Apple Computer, Inc. -> MobileSync -> Backup.
You can match your device identifier with the backup folder name by clicking on the Serial Number field in iTunes (which will switch it to your device identifier.) Delete (or rename, if you're worried about making a mistake) the folder with the matching identifier.
I know this thread is about a corrupt backup blocking updating the backup process, but in case anyone is having a corrupt backup blocking a restore (a much scarier problem,) and you don't have the original device/data to make a new backup, I hope you'll take a look at the information I've been writing about fixing backups on my company's blog:
http://deciphertools.com/blog/2014_07_11_itunes_could_not_restore_backup_corrupt /
We have been looking at fixing the corrupted backups, which may be helpful for you!

Quit then relaunch iTunes. Connect the iPhone to your computer and try syncing.

Device not compatible with iPhone

My new car (2010 Nissan Versa) has an auxilliary input port that allows me to play mp3 music through the radio. It worked great with my old iPod, but when I try to connect my brand new iPhone 3gs, I get an error message stating that the device (the car radio) is not compatible with the iPhone.
I like the iPhone, but really want to listen to my mp3 music and podcasts through the car radio. Is there some way to resolve this issue?

I have 08 altima with 3gs and updated OS4.0. emailed Nissan and told me my phone was not compatible. I cannot use the factory oem bluetooth since the update. Funny thing is it was compatible with the 3.1 OS and says so in writing in Nissan book. Apple told me it was a Bose firmware issue. I want to revert back to old OS.

IPhone 3G Dock not compatible with iPhone 3G (or 3G s)

I bought an iPhone 3G dock a few months ago and I'm having problems with it. I had an iPhone 3G and recently upgraded to the 3Gs. This problem is on both phones, but more often seen with the 3Gs. When I plug it in, I get the message telling me "this accessory is not compatible with the iPhone and asks me to turn on airplane mode. When I say no, the message haunts me multiple times. It's really annoying when I charge the phone at night since the screen turns on multiple times, waking me up; or when I have it charging on the dock and an audio out cable plugged into external speakers. (When the message comes up, the audio stops). I've heard a few people talking about this but haven't found a solution. Is this just "the way" it is with 3G docks, or is mine faulty? If so, has Apple recognized it and honors a warranty? It's pretty annoying IMHO and seems pretty out of character for Apple Quality Control...

I occasionally get that message with a standard iPhone usb cable -- the once that came with my 3GS. This could be due to debris in the connectors: It would not take much to make for a bad connection.
You might want to try cleaning them by using a clean dry toothbrush.

Bose Noise Cancelling Not Compatible with Iphone

This really disappointed me as I am always use to connect my Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones with Ipod , but not able to connect to iphone. I thought the iphone has standard headphone output. I like my Bose headphones when I am traveling in airplane or subways as it really cancels most of the noise.
Please let me know if anyone has any solution.
Thanks

Here is the text of the email I just received from Bose:
Thank you for your message.
iPhone incorporates a deeply recessed headphone jack that makes it incompatible with most headphones on the market, including Bose. We will soon introduce an adapter that will allow our headphones to be compatible with iPhone. (Belkin, Monster and other accessory companies will also offer generic adapters)
Thank you for contacting Bose Corporation.

Car Stereo No Longer Recognizes iPhone after iOS 7.1 Update

I connect my iPhone to my car stereo with via USB (the stereo doesn't have bluetooth) and now after the iOS 7.1 update, it no longers works in my car. My stereo displays an error message of 'iPod err' when I connect it. I've used this same car stereo and USB cable to connect my iPhone for years without any issues, until the 7.1 update a couple days ago.
Anyone else having this issue? This is real frustrating.

IOs4 upgrade, Now car stereo doesnt work with iphone

upgraded to Ios4 a few hours ago. Went to my car and plugged it into the usb port of my pioneer stereo and it says " Not compatible "
My stereo has always worked with my iphone.
PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP . APPLE

I've got the AutoPilot from Griffin, and I haven't seen any issues with it. Anyone with one of those and have concerns shouldn't worry; it'll continue to work.
Granted, it interfaces with the iPhone via the dock connector, but eventually goes into the car's audio system via the auxiliary jack, so the USB connection is probably what the issue is with other audio systems.
I've also noticed the "This accessory isn't meant for your device" message doesn't give you the choice of going into Airplane Mode; it just reminds you that you'll probably get interference.

MP3 Car Input not working with Iphone

When I plug my Iphone into my car's mp3 Aux input using my current mini plug connector (which works fine with my Ipod)) the music continues to play out of the iphone and not through my cars' stereo. The car is set correctly as the ipod works fine. Am I doing something worong?? Does the iphome not work in that situation? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

because of the iphone's recessed headphone jack, it's likely your cable is not fully inserting into the jack. don't try to force it in there. people have done things from shaving down the plastic on a jack to trying to shop for adapters that fit.

IPhone not compatible with iPhone dock

Hi,
I've been using my iPhone with both the original iPhone dock and the universal dock for a loooong time, but the past few months there has been a problem.
When the iPhone is connected to the iPhone dock/universal dock it says (rough translation): "This equipment is not designed to work with iPhone, do you want to activate plane mode [...]"
But all is original apple equipment and all should be compatible - what can I do ?
Thanks
Jens, Denmark

Mine is currently doing this, it is also not shutting off, it reboots right after I try and turn it off, and it is not charging through my Macbook either. It won't even show up in ITunes. When I connect it it says that a USB device is draining too much power and has been disconnected. Terrific. Can't charge and won't shut off.
