FM transmitter won't work with my iPhone

I bought a Premier FM transmitter from Auto Zone the other day. It has a 30-pin connector with an led panel that lights up when you connect it to an apple device. It's suppose to work with all 30-pin devices but doesn't work with my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.2). I have tried it with my iPod Touch 2g and two other iPhone 4's that belonged to my friends, and it worked with all three devices. Any explanation why it won't work with mine?

"the Middle East" is a really big place. I suspect you bought a gray market hacked phone. Call Apple Care and give them the serial number. Maybe they can tell you if it's locked and to what carrier.

  • Find my iPhone won't work with locked iPhone or iPad screen?

    Okay,
    I was showing a friend how cool "find my iphone" is and used the "Play Sound or Send Message" button to show her how it could find my iPad.  A few seconds later the iPad starts beeping in my backpack.  I open it up expecting to see a message "Oops, left my iPad at coffee shop, please call me at ______", but instead saw "Enter Passcode" box, which appears to cover the message I sent. 
    If I "cancel" the "enter passcode" box, I can see the message, but what with all the loud radar sounds I don't know that someone picking it up for the first time would think to do that.  Is this the way it is supposed to work?  What is the point in being able to send a message to a stranger who won't be able to read it because s/he doesn't know my passcode, and probably won't think to "cancel" the passcode box so s/he can see the hidden message behind it?

    I have checked all of these settings and they are turned on.  I think it must have something to do with iCloud...maybe there is a conflict in the account settings?

  • FM transmitter doesn't work with iPhone 5

    Hi All.. I'm looking for an FM transmitter that will work with the iPhone 5. .. ??
    Is it the transmitters or the phone?
    I had a 3GS previously and used an FM transmitter that worked great. (also worked fine with iPod touch) ..This one connects through the charge port. When I got the iphone 5, I just put a lightning adapter on it, but the transmitter no longer worked. I can hear the music very faintly fuzzy if I turned it up full blast. I thought it was just that it didn't like the adapter.
    So I bought another generic FM transmitter, this one plugs into the headphone jack. .. I get the same as the other transmitter, the faint fuzz.
    The guy who sold it to me said he's sold lots of them and had no complaints. .. the reason I believe him is because it's the same result as I am getting with the other transmitter. Any suggestions? .. Could it be something so dumb as a setting somewhere?

    Well, nevermind I guess. .. Weird.. I went around the dial trying several different blank radio stations and it was like it slowly got better and clearer.. then by the time I got back to my original 88.1 it was just fine. .. Almost like it had trouble finding the frequency or something. .. ?? oh well whatever, it works.
    I don't know how to close a thread.. Moderators?

  • Why don't FM transmitters work with my iphone 3gs?

    I have tried 3 now, which all work on my friends iphone 3GS. All work on my old ipods too... sometimes it will come up with 'this accessory won't work with this iphone' but still works on my friends identical (tho his is 32gb, mine 16gb) - anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    Also, restored my iphone the other day so the software etc is all up to date, but still no joy.
    Any help appreciated, tearing my hair out here!!
    Thanks,
    Ian.

    I have the same problem. Same with my iPad. And worst. I use my iPod touch at the gym, I used to connect the iPod on the threadmill and was able to watch videos (through the dock connector) not working any more, I only have the sound.
    I tried the composite video cable at home, just like you not working!!!
    Apple do something!!!

  • Irish iPhone won't work with German simcard

    Irish iPhone won't work with German simcard! Can anyone help!? I bought it prepaid in Ireland with u2 but my German u2 card won't work in it?! Thanks for any advice!

    Yes, but they are different firms and O2 Ireland sell locked phones as far as I know so the german sim is not meant to work.
    From Apples site O2 Eire can unlock but not sure how well that would work if you are back in Germany now, as it usually needs to be active in the carriers country on their network.

  • IPhone 4s bluetooth won't work with Clarion FZ709

    Actually the issue is that the iOS5 won't work with the Clarion FZ709 - it sees it and then immediately drops. I've reset the Clarion, reset the iPhone, same thing - it can discover it, then it loses it seconds later. Of course, dropping the version back to 4 isn't going to work for my iPhone, since it's new. I guess I could use my 3GS again, but I'm spoiled now with the features of the new phone.
    A brief search discovered this issue was mentioned here months ago - will there be any update to address this? It's apparently causing issues for many other manufacturers and OEM stereos too.

    Same problem with my Clarion FZ 709 after upgrading to iOS 5. Before this upgrade all works fine. Its no problem with the new iPhone 4s, its a problem with iOS 5. I could re-produce this problem with the new 4s and the older iPhone 4. Both are running iOS 5 and are still not longer able to connect via Bluetooth. After initial pairing the connection get broken after a few seconds. Yesterday i have upgraded both devices to 5.0.1 but the problem is still not fixed. From Clarion i got the feedback that they are not able to fix this issue because it seems that the problem depends on a change by Apple done within the new iOS. So hopefully Apple will recognize this problem and deliver a bug fix within the next iOS upgrade.

  • HT1665 Logitech rechargeable speaker S315i no longer works with my iphone 5.  It won't charge or play music.  Is it to do with the speakers or iPhone?

    Hi, my My Logitech rechargeable speaker S315i no longer works with my iphone 5.  It won't charge or play music. When I switched to iPhone 5 I had to buy an adapter - but it still worked perfectly...now it just stopped working???  It still works with my original iPhone (first model!!)
    This must have to do with the iPhone upgrade....has anyone had this problem?
    Landy

    Try this procedure; it has worked for many people.
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • Iphone 2.0 won't work with car stereo

    I Updated to 2.0. And my iphone works with my ipod stereo i bought 5 years ago, even with 2.0, but i bought a brand new stereo yesterday and when i plug it in through USB it says Invalid. Any ideas?

    The manufacturer of the new device may not have catered for iPhone use and as it does not say compatible you can't really complain. Some speaker makes have done this due to the fact that the radio signals from the iPhone interfere with the audio from the speakers.
    The older speakers came out before the iPhone existed and therefore it will not have anything preventing it from working with the iPhone, which I suspect the new speakers do.

  • All of the fm transmitters doesn't work with my iphone 4

    At first i had one of those griffin fm transmitters and it worked fine but after a while it stoped working and the fm transmitter dint turned on anymore i thught it was the fm transmitter was the problem but when i tried a different fm transmitter it did the same thing. help

    So the FM transmitter won't turn on at all... and you think the problem is the iPhone?  Is the battery in the FM transmitter flat? If you turn on the transmitter without plugging it into anything can you tune to it on the radio?  What if you plug the FM transmitter into another device? an iPod, CD player... something...
    I don't see how the problem can be related to the iPhone in any way. Do headphones work with your iPhone? If so, then the problem is definitely NOT the phone.

  • HT1937 Hi . I am using a carrier that is not listed in my country which is Saudi Arabia and I'm using Mobily line it won't work with me ..what should I do ?

    Hi . I am using a carrier that is not listed in my country which is Saudi Arabia and I'm using Mobily line it won't work with me ..what should I do ?

    Contact that carrier's technical support people.  It sounds like your issue is with that specific carrier, so only they will be able to help you make a particular device work on their network.
    P.S. if you mean you bought a phone from Mobily and are trying to use it with another carrier, you cannot.  A mobily phone will be locked to mobily, and according to Apple's list, they do not offer unlocking of their iPhones (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937).

    Microsoft Exchange won't connect with my iPhone (it's saying the password is incorrect, but it shouldn't be), now I can't delete that inbox on the phone.  Help??

    Turn off wifi.  Use wireless signal. reenter password at settings.  This should work.  Turn wifi back on if you wish.  Wait for next occurrence within hours or days.  Have not found a permanent preventive solution.  Thinking of replacing my four year old wireless router.
