Displays track 0/5303 (or there abouts) when plugged in to car audio

Hi All,
New to this discussion board as I've never had any issues with my iphone except this one which randomly I managed to fix last time it occurred.
Here's a summary and any suggestions/input would be most appreciated. My car has support for the iphone built in to the audio system and kindly come provided with the cable, sure enough connect it up and it plays track 1 of however many there are and I can cycle through artist/genre/album etc. A little while back after adding some more music it displayed track 0 of something like 5303 and having no idea what I did on itunes a couple of days later it miraculously worked. Needless to say it's happened again.
I can play music on the phone but it doesn't work in my car, its not a fault with the car as my friends iphone works fine and he has like 8gb more music than me! So nothing to do with a capacity problem. Sorry a little long winded in the end but would appreciate any suggestions.
One last thing is, if I pick a track and plug it in it'll play on the speakers but you cant do anything with it other than adjust the volume so its kind of then like just have an audio cable rather than the full usb support.

Any suggestions?

Message "Accessory connected" when connecting to my car audio

Hi,
I bought a new iPod Touch recently but haven't tried connecting it to my car audio through the car's USB interface. When I tried connecting it to my car audio, the iPod interface vanished and a screen with "Accessory connected" appeared and it is simply impossible to get out of this interface. Also, my car's displays "Load" with an "iPod" indicator but doesn't seem to play the music. I read in the discussion forum that pressing the "Home" key would bring up the iPod screen which is correct, but the moment I tap on the "Music" option, the iPod again brings up the "Accessory connected' screen. I'm connecting my iPod to my Honda City car audio and the iPod Touch version is 4.1.
Has anyone had similar issues with interfacing iPod Touch with their car audio system?
TIA
Best Regards
Ramanujam

Hi Ramanujam,
It's possible that your car audio system offers the functionality of a "2-way mode" (ie: allowing you to operate via either the iPod itself or the head unit of the car audio system). Check your car audio manual, and switch the controlling terminal from "headunit mode" to "iPod mode" for iPod playback. Once in "iPod mode", you should find that your iPod's menu should operate as normal.
I'm not familiar with the audio system in your Honda City, however, by example, pressing & holding the "back" key on a JVC headunit will switch between playback modes.
If this solution is not successful, try connecting your ipod via the USB interface while holding the iPod in a "landscape mode" (ie: sideways). You may find that you have limited functionality & can scroll through album covers in order to make song selections. NB: Be sure to hold your iPod in a landscape mode before connecting, rather than connecting the iPod in a "portrait mode" and then rotating the device 90 degrees.
Wishing you luck,
Malcolm

6th Generation has buzz/whine when plugged into my car auxiliary!

This is my second 6th generation, my first also had the same problem. I hoped I had a lemon the first time (but after stepping on it, it didn't matter!) I don't notice the buzz/whine when I use headphones, but is always there while in my car auxiliary (I use a Belkin line into a JVC KD-AR390.) Is this typical of this Nano? My 2nd generation Nano didn't have this problem (on the same system) and neither do my friends' with Touches (when playing in my car.) Does anyone else have this problem? Do I need different equipment? This is one of the main functions I use my iPod for! Please help!

I was experiencing a whine/whistle when trying to play my 6th Gen Nano in my car through the Aux also. My previous 3rd Gen Nano never had this problem either. I solved it by adding a ground loop isolator (ie: http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId=193&CategoryID=31) to filter out the apparent interference. The only irritation is that the Isolator is larger than the Nano but since I only have the problem in the car, who cares.

IPhone malfunctions when plugged into my car stereo

I have seen a thread or two that relate to this and was curious if there had been any progress made. I have a 2013 Kia Rio, Plug my iPhone into the USB port and ever since the iOS7 update it lags between songs, repeats songs incessantly until I manually advance the song via the steering wheel controls or controls on the stereo itself. I've also noticed that when using 3rd party audio apps like Spotify, when I press the "Next" button (both on the wheel and on the stereo) that it advances 5 tracks (there are 5 "Next" beeps that ring through my speakers) and won't "next" anymore since that's the limit.
Any thoughts on this?
Apple? Anyone?

oh, I know, it was just a general sort of "Hello? Apple? Anyone?" sort of ending. I know they don't haunt these boards often - it's easier to ignore the masses that way.

Question about Apple Watch/iPhone and Car Audio/Bluetooth

I have a Toyota Vensa and when I get into my car, the iPhone properly connects with the car's Bluetooth for phone calls and audio. If I then receive a phone call - both the car/iPhone and Watch will ring.
But if I answer from the Watch, is there then a way to switch the call to the car's bluetooth system like there is is you answer with the iPhone?

If your iPhone is already auto-connecting itself to your bluetooth hands-free system in your car, you don't need to do all this work (and risk an accident while driving).
This is what the "handoff" feature is designed for:
If you answered on your watch, but really wanted it on your car's hands-free system, simply swipe the phone icon up on the iPhone's lock screen -- this will immediately transfer to the hands-free system! The phone icon will appear automatically on your iPhone's lock screen, whenever you are on a call on your Apple Watch.
Note: the "handoff" feature goes away if the iPhone is unlocked -- so if it's already unlocked, you just have to lock it again or you won't see the phone icon to swipe up. The iPhone doesn't require (or allow) you to unlock it for the audio call handoff to work.
The instructions DannyWoods posted work fine once the phone is unlocked, but again, I think it's more risky than just doing the swipe motion on the left side where the phone icon will be. And as long as your iPhone does automatically connect to the speakers anyway (which it will do if you have previously paired it with your bluetooth hands-free system in your car), then it will work instantly with no other hassle.
I wish there were an easier way, but at least it's down to one gesture (swipe up on iPhone). There really should be a button on the watch to let you transfer it (since it has that button in all other use-cases, but not with a call in progress). It's dumb that I have to reach into my pocket and pull out my phone to transfer it to the hands-free system, but that's how it is. :-(
Hope this is helpful.

Iphone volume when plugged into a car usb

When I plug my I-Phone 3 into my vehicle's USB port i have to turn the volume way up to hear music. I usually listen to an FM station at volume level 12. When using the Iphone I can't hear anything until a level above 30. Thoughts?

Thanks but the system in my car does not have AUX cable option. Only USB or Bluetooth.

How do I get my iPhone 5 to stop automatically launching Music when plugged into my car USB port?

For quite some time, my iPhone has been set to automatically launch Music -- on the first song listed alphabetically -- as soon as I plug it into my car's USB port, which I use both for connectivity and for charging. It's enough to have made me hate a song I used to love: if I hear the opening riff of "The A Team" one more time I think I'll throw the phone out the window!! LOL Seriously: I've seen fixes for this in other posts, which apparently referred to older versions of iTunes, and required the "Stop AutoPlay" function to be initiated OUTSIDE the device, in iTunes on the synchronizing computer. That makes no sense to me. I've searched but cannot find a current fix. Am I eternally doomed to suffer this annoyance? Thanks!

Disable any security software on the computer and try again.

Ow do I stop the ipad from playing music automatically when plugging into my car?

I'd like to play my Scorch application through my car speakers but the iPad starts my music instead and doesn't give me an option to not play it. Anyone know if it's possible to change it so it doesn't start automatically?

I have the same issue. Was attending a major conference, sitting in the VIP section, and suddenly in the middle of the keynote address, I heard music playing, coming from my leather bag. Struggled to turn it off quickly before disrupting the event, but alas I wasn't quick enough. Also have the new iPad. Have tried everything, but it keeps launching sometime after I close the cover. Need a solution, please!

How to display track name in iTunes

I've burned CDs with track titles using Toast 10. When played in a car sound system, track names are displayed.
iTunes display Track 01, 02 etc and not the name. As they are not commercial discs, I cannot use Gracenotes.
I've seen Microsoft automatically display track names (using a different disc) and so I was looking for a similar thing in iTunes.
How do I get iTunes to display the CD track names, not Track 01, 02 etc, just like a car sound system?
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.
Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks Limnos.
Not sure about this. CD tracks used .wav format (needed to use it so my old windows XP computer could use them).
I suspect you've answered my question when you say iTunes does not support CD-text.
I selected Toast's Add CD-Text. I don't know if it's the same as your mentioned CD-text. As I know nothing of CD-text, if you know what it is, can you please briefly explain it to me?
Even though you say CDs do not contain track information, it must be stored on the CD somehow for the car sound system to display it as it has no internetconnection.

How can I stop the display dimming when plugged into a powersupply. Cannot read playlist in car using music player.

My new ipod seems to dim after a short time, even when plugged into a power supply, unlike my previous ipod, which used to stay illuminated
when plugged into the car stereo and external power
Now in order to see the playlist I have to swipe or touch the home button, using the music player. However using a GPS app, the screen stays
fully illuminated......as it should!
Is this normal now for playing music?
Also, the new grey on white menu display for music is very hard to read in the car in bright daylight.......unlke the old white on black. Nothing I
can do about that sadly except complain to apple directly :-(

Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

T400 shake display when plug power supply s.o winxp

Hello everybody
Days ago I installed windows XP prof to thinkpad T400 , I used driver Intel Display Driver for Windows XP and ATI Display Driver for Windows XP but sometimes when plug power supply suddenly display start shake. please help me about of this
thanks a lot

Ok, as an electrical engineer...I have to step in here! LOL
First, these amp rating are for 2 +12 rails. That is why you see a protection of around 15-18A on the +12 rail. That means each Rail is allowed up to 18A lets say for the new Enermax 1.2 version like the one I have.
Now, Lets say 18A for 12V....well as you know the Abit NF7-S uses the 12V for powering the CPU.
Lets say you have a Barton like me and you want it stable at around 2.4-2.5Ghz. You will have to put lets say around 2V to the cpu to get it stable at that kinda speed, specially if you have high FSB like I do. So 12V * 18Amps = 216W ....well the converter on the NFS-7 is really bad, its loss on the step down convertion is probably around 25% along with the PSU lost cuz its not running at 25oC (another 15%)....you will actually only get around 100-120W for the CPU.
Now, if you go into Sandra and see how much a Barton eats up at 2.4Ghz you will see its around 110Watts.
So, if you wanna push more, dont even think about it! Prime Power test fails and your +12 rail will drop as low as 11.60 Volts.
Now, lets say you got yourself a AMD 64 bit chip and you wanna overclock it....I bet it will need more than 110Watts.
So, what im saying is, dont buy nothing less than a 500 Watt PSU!
You really need around 20-22 A on the main +12 along with really really good cooling on the case and PSU so it is running at a 100%.

i found this quite interesting especially the bit re the power loss turning the 12v into 1.6v or what ever cpu needs

Problem when plugging in M-Audio into USB port

Hi there,
Whenever I plug in my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra into the USB drive, the screen greys out and it comes up with a message that I have to restart by holding down the power button.
Once I've done this it works fine, and there are no issues while using the interface (with Logic 9), and I've tried it on both USB drives.
Any ideas of what I can do to stop this from happening/whether it's a problem with the computer or the interface?
My laptop specs are below.
Thank you in advance...

Ipod car audio text display

With hope someone has an answer! I have just brought a new car Mazda 6 along with updating my ipod to the 80gb model. My wish was to take my entire cd collection (quite extensive) to my car and never to use CD's or the delemma of which cd to take. Mazda offered as an accessory an ipod connector. The price tag was considerable however more than worth it in my mind. But how disappointing. I have no text display either on my ipod nor the cars sound system (Bose premimum). This would all be fine if I had stuck to my nano as it's limit of 1000 songs I had to make a decision on. With the 80gb and my entire collection impossible - no idea of the song title, artist etc and no way of chosing what I wish to hear. Not really interested in making playlists as there goes the element of suprise, back to limiting my selection and what the heck I could just as easy (if not more) grab some cds and take to the car. Surely there is a solution to the problem. I presume the reason why I don't get a display on my ipod (other than the Mazda logo) when I connect it is for driving safety reasons but still with hope someone out there can provide me with a solution.
Anticipated hope

Does it mean that once its fully charged the battery stops operating that the ipod powers up using the d.c. power source?
No. There is still a slight battery usage when plugged in.
Do you think it will affect the charging cycle or even the battery life of the ipod by keeping it plugged into the car audio unit using the cd ib-100?
Yes, but probably not drastically.
You should drain & charge the iPod fully once a month.

HELP

I've had mine for 3 months and it started doing this. I unplugged it when the battery had run down when plugged into my car adapter. I went to plug it into my computer and the screen didn't come on when I plugged it in. My iTunes then proceeded to crash. I restarted my computer and it did the same thing. My computer does recognize the IPod as plugged in sometimes though and shows it as a removable drive but I can't access it and iTunes doesn't show it as being plugged in. I did get a message once that said it was formatted for mac or something but when I clicked ok to get iTunes to format it, iTunes never came up. Help please!

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.
