Connection to Honda automobile sound system

Since 2010, I have been able to connect my iPhones (original, 3 and 5) through the 16-pin/lightning connector to my 2010 Honda automobile's USB slot. I've always been able to then use the steering wheel control buttons and automobile touch screen to search songs, albums, playlists, etc. Since upgrading to iOS 8.02, none of the automobile controls work. I have to use the iPhone's controls, which makes me take my eyes off the road and hands off the steering wheel to unlock the phone, access the music and select what to play. This is not an acceptable way of using the phone or automobile's sound system. Is there a correction for this? If not, is it being included in the next (hopefully soon) update?
Thank you for your help.

Hello cfgarcia1,

Macbook aluminum, connecting audio to surround sound system. HELP!!

Hi,
I'm tryna connect sound running from my macbook to my home cinema kit. the sound system has a fiber optic input. so im trying to connect the sound via digital means. can you tell me what cables i need. I saw the fiber optic cables and i no the headphone jack can support fiber cable, but can some one tell me what piece i need to connect to my cable so i can stick it in the headphone jack of the mac.
Hope this make's sense.

The headphone jack on the MacBook is a combined analog and digital optical port. Since it's the 3.5mm size, if you want to connect it to your sound system via a digital optical audio cable, you'll also need what's known as a mini-SPDIF to SPDIF adapter or cable. It looks like there's a cable with an adapter available at the UK online Apple store. If you already have a cable, you may be able to find one of the adapters at a local electronics store. They're usually available at a Radio Shack in the U.S., for example.

Connecting ipod to portable sound system...

Connect Macbook PRO house sound system via IPOD adaptor

I want to connect my Macbook PRO via USB to IPod dock adaptor on whole house sound system w/IPOD adaptor. Any suggestions for adaptors with USB to IPOD-like port? In other words one end of the cable needs USB (for Mac) and the other needs to look the internal mating part of the IPOD.

My goal was to stream Pandora
So either get Pandora for iPhone or iPod Touch and dispense with the MBP, or get AirPhones and stream from the MBP to the system via iPod.
Your primary problem is not finding a cable, but finding a hardware or software device that will make the MPB behave like an iPod, which is quite a different kettle of fish.
If you're not tied to the dock, then check your system's audio inputs. You could connect your MBP to it, or you could get AirPort Express with AirPlay for w/less streaming.

Can my macbook pro connect to jvc thd60 sound system if so how

i bought a minidisplay port to hdmi cable. i plugged both parts in and havent had any luck getting sound. im not even sure if the sound system wll even play on a mac. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Yes your Mac can connect to the system through the Digital (Optical) Audio In port on the JVC.
Mac's stereo mini output jack doubles as a stereo mini optical port, just have to enable it when the cable is attached in the System Preferences.
All you need is a stereo mini optical to optical cable (aka Toslink) adapter and Toslink optical cable to the receiver.
The Mac can pass multi-channel sound through, it doesn't decode surround sound formats, but the receiver does.
Also if your receiver can take the 2.0 channel of iTunes stereo music and process into 4.1 sound, would make for a nice experience.
Also, if you get a Airport Express or Extreme, you can almost do away with the optical cable and enable AirTunes in Airport Utility on the router, then use a optical cable from that to the JVC.
But I think it only works with iTunes, unless you install some third party software hack from Ambrosia that allows all Mac audio through.
Enjoy.

Can't connect my 2.1 sound system to my TV

I have my Element ELFDW406 connected to the (RCA) Audio Output on my TV. My TV speakers are still on, and no signal seems to be going to the 2.1 Sound System from the Audio Out on the TV. This TV has no headphone jack which I used on other TVs for the sound system.
I cannot find anything in the menu via the remote that lets you shut off the TV speakers and switch the audio out via the RCA output. Any Ideas?

Hi Ronrak,
I’m not familiar with Element TVs having never actually worked with one before. From what I could find online, it sounds like you’re using the Element ELDFW406 and it looks like you’ve posted this in several other spots online without any success.
The Element website doesn’t have a manual listed for this model, but I was able to find a similar one in the series (ELDFW322) that should give me a better picture of what you’re looking at.
From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t sound like that model of TV has an option for RCA out and instead offers a Coaxial Audio output (S/PDIF) exclusively.
I can’t give a definitive answer though as I'm not able to find accurate information on your specific model. I might be able to recommend a solution to you, and I ask that you provide me with some quick information.
A list of all inputs/outputs on the back of your TV. (They don’t need to be in order, just tell me what each input/output is labeled as).
The model number of your sound system (or a list of inputs/outputs)
With this, I should hopefully be able to give you a better answer than “just use the remote”

Connect HP PAvilion to Sound System

HiI have a dv7t-7000 laptop. I'd like to hook it up to the same sound system I use for my TV & DVD player. Does anyone have thoughts on the best way to do that? My one HDMI port is already used to connect to my TV. I don't have an audio card(??) but I'd be willing to get one. I have a head phone jack. If my sound system had an AUX Audio jack, I'm sure I could connect those with a (stereo?) cable. Embarrassing, but I don't even know if I have blue tooth. If I did, that might be a way to go? I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions. Thanks!

SAME PROBLEM WITH MY Nokia 3720 classic.
I did just bye a Nokia 3720 classic mobile phone to connect to my headset BH 905i.
They say that it is compatible on the Nokia internet page :
http://www.nokia.ch/produits/accessoires/tous-les-accessoires/kits-oreillettes/kits-oreillettes-blue...
BUT IT DOES NOT WORK, I CAN NOT CONNECT.
(( Nokia 3720 classic - to - BH 905i ))
Why ?
So it will not connect to my second computer and now to my mobile phone ?
How can that be ?
It looks like if I was lucky one time out of three. ( Is this a joke ? )
My Nokia OS version is up to date, that is at least what it says on the nokia internet page when i checked.
http://europe.nokia.com/appmanager/UnitedStatesEnglishEUROPE_NOKIA_COM_3/Get_support;JSESSIONID_NCOM...
Can somebody help ?
Do I have to send my BH 905i back to Nokia and ask them why 2 time of 3 it will not work when it is supposed to work ?

Airplay mirroring intermittent sound only through Onkyo Sound System

Downloaded the Mountain Lion y'day.The video is perfect but the sound is intermittent. I got an apple TV y'day which I connected to my Onkyo sound system. I can play itunes and get sound through the sound system both via macbook pro as well as iphone. I can't understand what's wrong when I mirror my laptop. Sooooooooo frustrating. Any good soul who would help me ;(

Update:
First Applecare chat session:
1. Was asked to boot in safe mode. No luck.
2. Was asked to zap the pram. No luck.
Second Applecare session:
1. Was asked to archive and install. No luck.
Third Applecare session:
1. Was asked to try with a clean user. No luck.
At this stage the tech told me they will approve a second mid plane swap, all I have to do is call them in to arrange for the spare part to be shipped to my local Apple techs.
I have to say this: While I am terribly annoyed at this whol e ordeal, having Applecare has made an incredible difference in the stress levels of this whole business. Each of these 3 sessions were done as an onine chat. I kept working and only had to make sure to keep an eye on the tech in case he was asking for something.
It is a **** of a lot better than to play phone tag with two tiers of tech support. While sure, I am glad that Applecare extends my coverage by two years, the combination of being allowed to deal with these issues over a chat session totally kicks ***. And the on-site repairs are awesome when going to an Apple store is too much of a hassle.
This is the last time I don't purchase Applecare at the same time I purchase a Mac.

Apple TV...how to connect to get sound through my sound system (I have a satellite receiver and also Russound system)

Just hooked up my Apple TV. It's great. I have a satellite receiver and also a multi room sound system where I would like the sound to come through. Can anyone tell me how I would connect to accomplish this. My HDMI is connected so the sound is coming through my TV just fine. I would like it to come through my sound system instead. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Hi:
My system is as follows. 1 only HDMI output on TV. I purchased an HDMI switch box/unit. I have the output from the Switch Box Unit going into my TV.
I have 5 inputs on the switch box unit. 2 I have used.....
1 input from my television satellite receiver
2 input from my Apple TV
My other equipment is
1 home theatre system. This is where the sound from my TV goes through
1 russ sound whole home sound distribution system
When I play my Apple TV I am still getting the sound of my satellite TV.
This suggests that your satellite receiver is connected to your "home theater system" (which I will shorten to AVR "Audio/Video Receiver") for audio. Is this correct?
If so, then your problem is that you're switching video inputs, but not audio, and what I listed as (2) applies:
2. You can connect the ATV to the TV using HDMI. Then you can either:
2a. Connect the TV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
2b. Connect the ATV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
You've connected the ATV to the "switch box" instead of the TV, which amounts to the same thing, as you're just expanding the number of HDMI ports on the TV by using the switch. So your simplest solution is either 2a or 2b. If your TV has an audio out port, and it's the same kind of port that your satellite receiver uses, you can just disconnect the audio cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into your TV. You may have to enable "external speakers" or whatever they call it in the TV settings. This would be best, because then you wouldn't have to change inputs on the AVR to select the correct audio; you would just change inputs on the switch, and both video and audio would switch between the satellite box and the ATV, solving your problem. Note that an optical cable is required to get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (surround sound), and I mention that because it's possible you're using an analog audio (RCA) cable. So an optical cable is best.
Beyond this, I would really need to know your TV and AVR model numbers, preferably accompanied by links to specification pages or manuals, and it would be very helpful to know how the satellite receiver is connected to the AVR for sound.

How do I connect the ipod nono 7th gen. to Panasonic home theater sound system

I ordered an ipod nano for my daughter for christmas as her old original ipod died. She has a Panasonic home theater sound system (SA-PT950) that came with a little dedicated ipod station to connect her ipod to and get surround sound music. Now I see the 7th gen. nano has a different interface and won't work in this station. Is there an adapter available or does anyone know another way to connect it? Thanks

IMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. loss of wifi speed when connecting a Bose Sound System via bluetooth

Hello, I have an iMac 10.6.8, Snow Leopard with iTunes 11.0.1. When connecting my Bose Sound System via bluetooth the wifi downloadspeed goes from snappy to a crawl, disconnecting the bluetooth connection, the downloadspeed goes up again. Don't have this problems with the Sound System when connecting it to my iPad. I like to mention too, that the downloadspeed of my iPad is always better than of my iMac. Are there any experiences concerning this problem? Thank you in advance.

UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!
You can thank me later - after an hour on the phone, I finally got through to a Senior Engineer.
Apperently the issues lies with GRID VIEW.
Open your Itunes, Click on TV SHOWS, then quickly change your view from GRID VIEW (Defaults to this) to List View and Viola!
We tested it out on the phone just minutes ago, my problem is solved and I suspect if you guys try this yours will be too.

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.
