  • Alpine CDA-9884 car stereo won't charge iPhone 4. Worked fine with 1st gen

    Why can I not charge my iPhone 4 from my car stereo as I have done for the past couple of years with my 1st gen iPhone?
    Does the new battery charge differently?

    It's the iOS4.0 that is messing it up, I have a 3GS and work at a Car Audio Shop and 100% of every model of every manufacturer does not work with the OS4. Some of these radio were just release less then a month ago built specificaly for iPhones, and after the update to OS4 they no longer function. Same Phone, same radio, different OS different results. Sonys will just sit there frozen with Ipod displayed on the screen. Pioneer Radios will display searching then after a few mins give Error-19. Kenwoods flash Searching.... forever. Alpines display Device Error, the alpine thats made for iphone and pandora never recognize the phone or ipod even if you have the pandora alpine link app running. JVC displays Searching forever. So your going to have to wait 6 months or more before you can get a new radio that can work with the OS4 and iPhone 4. If you have an older iPhone and want to keep your radios working with them, just dont allow the upgrade. Hopefully apple can patch whatever is blocking the comunication ports these radios use, or put the old code they removed back in so they become backwards compatible, but I wouldn't bet on it, if they break your stuff and do nuthing about it you have to buy more stuff, which makes them more money. Just a Heads Up. Was hoping to come here and see some hadn't had the same problems but looks like theres alot of issues with OS4 tbh.

  • My car stereo works intermittently with iOS 7

    Since upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, my car stereo now says "USB ERROR" every time I connect my iPhone. To workaround this issue, I have to be playing some music on the iPhone before connecting it to avoid the error message and for the stereo to play music from device.
    My car stereo is the Sony CDX-GT560UI. Is this a problem with the car stereo or iOS 7?

  • Car stereo unable to read CD's

    I'm trying to brurn MP3 cd's for my car stereo and have followed the instructions in iTunes help but when the CD's finished, the computer can play the CD but my CD player and car stereo can't!

    I have having similar problems.... My car player will not play the discs I create with itunes.
    I think the problem is due to the fact that when you use itunes to create a mp3 disc the software creates subfolders (for the artist, then album). I think the car mp3 player can not recognize this structure.
    I have used Windows MP to create a similar mp3 disc (same format and same music files) and the disc plays perfectly in my car.
    I would prefer to use itunes, Does anyone know how to create mp3 cds without a file folder structure. I can not find how to change this default.
    Thanks!

  • JVC car stereo won't recognize Ipod Nano

    In 2006 my husband bought me a JVC car stereo with a USB port. So, a couple months ago, I finally went and bought a new Ipod Nano. When I plug the Ipod into the stereo, it says "READ FAIL" on the stereo screen. I went to BestBuy thinking I needed a different cord or something, but they told me it was a problem with new Ipods. The technician even went and got his older Ipod and plugged it in and it worked great. I contacted JVC, but they were no help at all. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated!

    If other iPod plays on your JVC, then it is nothing wrong with JVC.
    It is either your Nano having a problem or it is not compatible with your JVC.
    See update your Nano to the latest version helps (do a restore for your Nano on your computer).
    If still does not solve then send your Nano for service if it nothing relates to the compatible issue.

  • Kenwood car stereo won't recognize ipod classic

    Purchased my first Ipod, (ipod classic). Works great on its own. Connects to Kenwood KDC MP532U car stereo through USB port. However, stereo states "no music". Can this be fixed, or did I just waste my $$ on Ipod?

    Search for Kenwood on this forum, there are a number of suggested fixes.
    First of all, you should be able to get a firmware update for your stereo from the Kenwood website. Check your model on the Kenwood website.
    Also, make sure you upgrade to 1.1.1 - this appears to solve a number of problems in connecting to non-Apple hardware.
    I hope that helps.

  • Does anyone recommend an after market car stereo for use with iOS?

    I'm looking to replace my existing car stereo and would like to know if anyone has had any luck with after market?

    Hey,
    No Firewalls running no.. Well no software ones, just the hardware one in the DM602.
    Incidentally I managed to find another DM602 user who said to me that the Modem / Router in 'Modem Only' mode works fine.. just using the Airport Express/Extreme set up as the router.
    Will have to wait and see once I have bought the Airport Express as Modem Only mode without another Router caused me all kinds of confusion and left me unable to connect to the net or even to the Modem/Router directly when I was fiddling around with it.
    But yeah, I agree that it's odd that Mac make everything else BUT the modem to connect to an ADSL line.. and then recommend rubbish 3rd party hardware that wont allow it's customers to use it's own well designed software..
    Bit annoying.. you try and be a good Mac disciple and model consumer - Mac all the way, and still run into grief..

  • Ios 4.2.1 won't connect to 'made for iPod' car stereo

    I wish I'd NOT updated from ios 3.1.3. Then I could listen to music on my iPod (touch, 2nd gen, 8gb) in my car via the car stereo (Kenwood KDC-W6541U) USB port with not problems.
    Ever since I updated to ios 4.0 (and 4.1 which didn't solve the problem either) whenever I plug my iPod the car stereo display flashes 'reading'. I've checked the Kenwood website, but there are no updates for the stereo.
    I'd hoped the 4.2.1 update would've resolve the problem, but it didn't. The main reason I'd bought an iPod was to listen music in the car!
    Recently I've not bought anything from iTunes, whats the point as I can't listen to it.
    I'm getting disillusioned. I've tried plugging/unplugging, switching on/off, resetting, etc, etc with no success. Anyone got any ideas?
    Apple, get this sorted, please! ios 3.1.3 worked fine.

    I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. i have a kenwood kvt-514 head unit. once i updated my ipod touch to v4.2.1 some songs didn't play, no album artwork was displayed, ect. i tried doing all of the above and nothing. hopefully apple is working this out.

  • Update caused lack of connectivity to car stereo

    Updated my ipod touch to the latest software (4.2) and now my car stereo won't recognize it. I get a incompatible error message from the stereo. Took the car to the dealer, connects with an un-updated iPod, but not the most recent update. Does Apple have a fix for it's fix or am I out of luck?
    Thanks!!

    Well, in Apple's defense how do you know that the stereo manufacturer explicitly followed Apple's standard? Just because it once worked doesn't mean they did everything correctly. Do not expect Apple to do anything, it won't happen. Push back on the other side, though you may not have luck there either.
    However, if you have a 4G Touch, make sure you're using the iPod cable it came with. I've seen someone say that their 4G Touch will only work in their truck with the supplied cable, not the cable from their 2G Touch. I don't know for sure if Apple changed the internals of the iPod cable, but its not out of the question, and perhaps the iOS update now takes advantage of whatever change Apple may have made to the cable.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen skipping and popping via USB car stereo...

    I have a Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD car stereo and have the iOS 4.2.1 installed on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Since 4.0.2 my iPod Touch has been flawless with playback. We all know the infamous 4.1 problems with the skipping of music via USB car in-dash car stereos. NOW, with the iOS 4.2.1 there is no skipping whatsoever. However, there is a lot of popping in the playback of my car stereo via USB. I've did a factory restore with iTunes and used some dust remover (air spray container) in the connector on the bottom of the iPod and also used the same dust remover on my USB syncing cable that I use in my car. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Thanks in advance.

    I can't help with an answer, but i have noticed the same thing whenever i hook my ipod up to my pioneer 510-ub through the usb...all other mp3s and flashdrives work fine. the pops only occur when the ipod is hooked up.

  • 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.

  • Ever since I downloaded IOS 7 my car stereo does not display artist, track etc. Is there a way to fix this?

    After I Downloaded IOS 7 when I play my music on my car stereo it no longer displays the artist name and track. Is there a fix for this issue?

    Try closing the Scrabble app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Scrabble app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Scrabble app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If neither of the above fix it then you could try deleting it and re-sync or re-download it via the Purchased tab.

  • IPhone 6 with iOs 8 and Kenwood car stereo

    My new iPhone 6 (using iOs 8) will not work with my Kenwood car stereo correctly.  It says the bluetooth is connected and tries to place a call but the calls are not connecting to the stereo.  Is anyone else having this trouble and know how to fix it?
    I tried forgetting the device (the stereo) and re-pairing, which caused the phone to randomly try to connect to nothing through the stereo.
    Any ideas?

    Does your stereo have a USB port, and if so, have you tried to connect via USB?
    I'm having issues even with the USB on my Kenwood.  Check out this post:  iPhone 6 won't play with Kenwood stereo USB port. Help !!

  • 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.

    In another thread on this issue, Brendan writes:
    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.
    Here is the URL for that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25211736?ac_cid=tw123456#25211736
    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!

  • Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

    My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car.  Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player.  I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have.  Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would love to see an update on issues like this.
    I have the pioneer avh-3400bh.  Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should.  Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information.  Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control.  the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything.  Same for the pandora app
