Connect iphone to car to play audio?

Is it possible to use my iphone to play music in my car? My car has a usb port but when my phone is plugged in, it will only charge rather than connect to play mp3 files. Are there any settings on the phone that can change this?

what receiver are you using. I just installed a Pioneer DEH-2200UB and it works fine. Check your model at the Crutchfield site which has a nice filter for "bypass iPod DAC" under "General Features"

  • Airplay-connected Macbook Pro Will Not Play Audio On Apple TV

    After upgrading to a Retina Macbook Pro running Mavericks (10.9.3), I can no longer play audio using AirPlay through my AppleTV 2. The video connection is flawless, yet when going into Sound > Output through System Preferences, I can not select AppleTV | AirPlay as an output device. Is this a hardware issue? Is there another fix available?

    That actually did the trick. Well played. It would be nice if that were in *any* of the support documentation for AirPlay.
    Many thanks.

  • Adobe AIR for iphone app: can't play audio properly

    I just developed an App by using adobe air. It contains some animations with background music in mp3 format. The problem is that the music is very jerky when the animation is playing... FYI, this is the way how I play audio in flash:new Sound(new URLRequest("m3.mp3")).play() Have I done anything wrong?
    BTW, the funny thing is that if you hit the HOME button, and then come back to the app again, everything plays beautifully...
    Any comments would be appreciated!!! Will be waiting for the answer online.

    Try the loading sound internally method through sound channels and such.
    Great tutorial below.
    http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3sound/
    var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
    var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
    mySound.load(new URLRequest("myFavSong.mp3"));
    myChannel = mySound.play();
    I just finished an app that uses a lot of audio while stuff is animated on the timeline and the sound responds well on all iOS devices. (havent tested on 3GS yet)

  • IPhone 5 won't play audio over Bluetooth in 2012 Lexus GX 460

    My iPhone 5 can connect via Bluetooth to my 2012 Lexus GX460.  I can make and receive calls over car speaker/Bluetooth.
    However, when I attempt to connect and play music, it says Bluetooth connection failed -- Please see portable player settings.
    Are there new settings on the iPhone to have the audio played over Bluetooth?
    My iPhone 4S and 4 worked perfectly.  Now, the iPhone 5 has issues.
    I have tried this:
    1. Removed the phone from the GX 460
    2. Added the phone back using password
    3. Says it is connected and I can make/receive calls
    Since the audio did not work, I tried:
    1. Turned off Bluetooth on the iPhone
    2. Turned off the iPhone
    3. Removed the phone from the GX 460
    4. Turned off the GX 460
    5. Started the GX 460
    6. Turned on the iPhone
    7. Turned on Bluetooth
    8. Paired the phone with the GX 460
    9. Calls can be made/received, but audio still does not connect
    Lexus has not returned any calls/messages on this one -- hoping someone may have an answer.
    Thanks!

    Had this problem in my 2012 IS F.  Fixed it by going to 'SETUP' -> 'Audio' -> BLuetooth settings.  Deleted the existing pairings and then repaired my phone.  Bingo!

  • Connect Iphone to car radio system

    I try to find a way to connect my Iphone to my car radio. I wan to listen my mp3 and use my phone with the car radio system.
    annuaire et actualité

    There are many ways to do this (I use the MonsterCable ipod adapter in rental cars, and the Pioneer Ipod Interface for my P7500DVDII) both with decent results. (great results if you turn on airplane mode). All GSM phones can effect stereo equipment to some degree, and the iphone is no exception. Alot of the 3rd party kits do not use shielded connections which just makes the problem that much more obvious. I found if I adjust the location of my phone in relation to the transmitter and the radio the Monster fm modulator gives satisfactory results without disabling my ability to recieve phone calls. The pioneer is the best, however I can't place the phone in the holder which was installed with the kit since it is in the DIN above the stereo (VW Jetta) and the phone constantly interferes with the amplification circuits. Moving the phone 3-4 inches fixes it.

  • My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker.  I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source.  How do I get that screen back?

    My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker.  I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source.  How do I get that screen back?

    Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
    From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
    In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
    Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

  • IPhone 4 won't play music in car when through USB when connected to Bluetooth aswell.

    Hi Guys
    Could someone help me. My iphone connects to my car through a USB connector and works fine. When I also connect to my car Bluetooth the sound dissapears after a minute or so. My display still shows the song playing but no sound. I can still go through play lists change track etc but no noise. If I unplug the cable and plug back in again it will work again and after another minute or so the sound cuts out again. Sometimes it won't play at all.
    It seems to work fine if the bluetooth isn't connected although I have not tested this extensively.
    I have tried in 2 other cars to make sure it isn't a fault with the car and I get the same result.
    It isn't linked to any software upgrade.
    Has anybody else heard of this or know a solution????
    Thanks
    Michael.

    Hi
    Just to update for the last time. I have realised that if the bluetooth is paired to the car the music sound either does not play or plays for around a minute then cuts out. This still happens even if I disconnect the bluetooth connection. However if I delete the phone completely out at the car and cancel the pairing, the music plays fine no issues.
    I guess somehow it is therefore based around the bluetooth. I have checked all menus I can find on the car and the phone to make sure there is no setting wrong somewhere. I cannot understand why it plays for a short time and then stops, seems like an intermittant fault ???
    Thanks
    Michael.

  • My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

    My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

    I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
    FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

  • Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

    I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

    The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either.  I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update.  Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told.  Thank you for posting.  I know now that I am not the only one.  Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8.  I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6.  I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

  • IPhone and car audio

    Newbie here. Like most people i'm going to ante up and buy the iPhone 3g tomorrow. One key reason is that i can store all my music and replace my CDs in my car stereo. I'm going to purchase a car stereo that has and ipod connection, though I've got several questions regarding the phone use while it is connected to the stereo.
    1) Can someone tell me what happens when you're playing music on your iPhone through your car deck and the phone rings?
    2) Do I have to always have a bluetooth headset on to answer the phone when it's connected to my car stereo? Or can I pick the phone up and use the handset?
    3) Does the music pause and let me answer the phone?
    4) Or do I have to disconnect the phone and manually answer the line?
    5) When I finish my call will the music resume where (if it can) paused?
    Sorry to be so long winded, but the music integration into my car audio is a key feature I like; and if I can do both with just an iPhone that would be great.
    Thanks in advance

    You'll be happy with the way it works.
    When the phone rings, the music pauses and you can answer the phone using either your earset or directly talking into the phone. If the earset is connected via bluetooth you will see a screen on the phone allowing you to select iPhone instead of bluetooth as your choice of interfaces. When you hang up the call the music will automatically resume where it left off.
    If you do not have the bluetooth device in the car with you the phone behaves the same way, except it does not ask you if you want to use bluetooth or directly talk into the phone.
    Bottom line is it works intuitively and I believe it will do just what you are hoping it will.

  • I can no longer play audio on my iPhone in headphones mode after getting a phone call

    I took a phone call the other day while playing audio from my iPhone on on Aux cord in my car, and when the phone call ended audio stopped working. It works when I play it in speaker mode, but if i plug headphones into the iPhone it no longer works. I have tried restarting it multiple times, but it still doesn't work. How do I fix it?

    Try a new cable.

  • IPod on iPhone 3G won't play in my car after iOS 4 upgrade

    I have a 2010 Hyundai and my iPod played fine w/ the use the the Hyundai iPod cable until I upgraded to iOS 4. I used to get the airplane mode warning but once it went away it always played fine. Now instead of the airplane mode warning I get "This device is not optimized for use w/ this cable... blah, blah, blah". I then get a message on my stereo's monitor that my iPod is empty. I have not had a problem playing my music otherwise though, with either my ear buds or just through the phones speakers. I wish I had never upgraded now.
    Anyone else having this problem or have any idea fixes?

    I am experiencing a similar issue to you.
    I have an Oct 2009 Hyundai i30 with a factory option ipod control cable which previously worked perfectly and allowed me to control my 3g iphone's ipod function through the factory head unit of the car, I could select albums, artists, individual songs, playlists etc. Now, after upgrading to ios4 I connect my iphone to the car and I get the new badge message "This accessory is not optimized for use with iPhone blah blah blah". That's fine, I hit dismiss and expect the previously available functionality. However, my iphone will play, but I can no longer scroll through anything on the head unit anymore. I can see what is playing and I can shuffle the library but that is the limit of the functionality through the head unit.
    Before the upgrade I was able to scroll quickly and efficiently through say, the list of artists and choose one, then choose an album and pick a song. Now, I have to choose something on the iphone (before driving off) and then plug the phone into the car to pipe the music through the system. Having said that, the car now has to be running first, before the phone is connected for it to work.
    I have tried the following to correct this:
    + Connect phone to car, hold down sleep/wake and home buttons for ten seconds, wait for apple logo, wait for phone to boot - same behaviour as described above.
    + Start car without connecting phone, choosing AUX on the system, holding down sleep/wake button for a while until slide to turn off comes up, then slide to turn off. Wait until phone is off, then connect phone to car - same behaviour as described above.
    + Sync phone to itunes again, reboot phone with sleep/wake and home button, then connect phone to car - same behaviour as described above.
    This really *****. Sadly, I know, I'm not offering a solution to the problem, but as I have something, I'll post again.

  • I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge.  Is there a fix

    My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone.  it charged and played audio.  I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge.  It only play audio.  I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine.  Is there anything to fix this?

    Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong

  • IPhone 6 cannot connect to new car

    I have a 2014 Murano and cannot pair my new iPhone 6 with the bluetooth audio of the car.  The phone is connected and works very well but I cannot get the music to connect.   I've been through everything with Apple including wiping the device, networks resets everything they have recommended and I cannot get it to connect.  Any thoughts?

    Glad I didn't buy a Murano. Works fine with my phone and both Apple and BMW use standard Bluetooth protocols so I wouldn't look for any update from Apple.
    If you think all Murano users are unable to connect you might want to tell Apple here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
