Honda stereo cannot control iPhone 5 music via USB

I have a 2012 Honda Fit with the stock stereo. I have been able to play the music off of my iPhone 5 when connected to the car stereo via the USB/Thunderbolt cable. It seems after I upgraded to iOS 8 that I can no longer hear or control the iPhone from the car stereo's controls. I can see on the display that it playing song 14/401 (or whatever number) but no music.
I am able to use my Plantronics Bluetooth ear bud to answer & make phone calls.
The phone is able to charge while plugged in & I am able to sync with iTunes on my desktop PC.
Is this a Honda Issue or Apple not providing compatibility with the car stereo?
Anybody else having this issue?
Thanks!

I have tried all the suggestions above.
Restoring, Reseting, Unpairing etc...
It "works" for a little time, but after a couple hours or so it starts failing again.
All the fixes reported are temporary solutions, we need a definitive solution

How do I play my iPhone 5 music via blue tooth on my car stereo

I can play my iPhone 4 music via blue tooth on my car stereo. My iPhone 5 can connect to my car and I can make calls on my car's system. But I can't play music what to do ?

Consult the manual for the car kit. Put it into pairing (discoverable) mode, then go to Settings>General>Bluetooth, turn it on, and pair them.

Samsung Fascinate, problems with playing music via USB port on car stereo

Before the update, I could play the music files on my Fascinate via the USB port on my Kenwood stereo, and control basic functions such as skip, pause etc. Now, my stereo does not recognize the device, and cannot read the files. I went to local Verizon store where a sales rep tried to connect it in here new Kia Soul and it didn't recognize the device either. It will play via the AUX jack, but I lose player control and the phone does not charge via the AUX cable. She did a hard reset which did not resolve the problem. We tried one of the other employee's Fascinate in my car, which did not work either.
So, after hoping to be able to stream music via Pandora, Jango etc thru the USB port after the update, now it seems its primary function is for charging.
Also, the ALL SHARE function, which I used to get the music on my phone originally, does not work now.
Anyone else have this issue with music player and USB connection?

txgopher- I have personally never used my Fascinate to listen to music via USB via stereo however, I can see why it would be frustrating for you to no longer be able to do so when it was never an issue prior to the update.
It sounds as though you and the store rep already did some troubleshooting by trying to duplicate the problem with another car, stereo and even doing the final troubleshooting step which is a master reset.
Since you have done all of the necessary troubleshooting steps to no avail, it most definitely appears as though the software update has interfered with that USB connection in some way.
What I have done is forwarded the information you have provided to Samsung in order for them to look into this concern as well as come up with a way to get this resolved.
Please stay tuned because as soon as we hear back from Samsung we will be sure to update this forum with the results/findings.

Control a micro-controller via usb

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to control a micro-controller via usb using a java program. The micro-controller is used as an on/off switch. Is there a micro-controller that has a java driver provided?
thanks

The environment for Arduino is programmed in Java ( http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software ) and you can use Java serial comms to communicate with it ( http://www.csc.kth.se/utbildning/kth/kurser/DH2400/interak06/6-Comm.html ).
Mine hasn't arrived yet, but I'm planning to play with one.

How can i use my pc internet on my iphone 4 (ios7) via usb?

hallo everyone,
i want get internet from pc on iphone. how can i use my pc internet on my iphone 4 (ios7) via usb? (not iphone internet on pc). help me please

That is actually pretty easy.
Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
Right mouse click on the Bluetooth system tray icon and select "Add new connection"
Select your phone ..
Enter a pincode e.g. 0000
Enter the same pincode on the phone side as well.
Click in the "Advanced Modem settings window the "Advanced Modem Settings" button. There should be a string which was auto detected.
Just confirm the windows until the setup is finished. Open the IE confirm select the just configured DUN connection and browse the internet.
You need to enter the Advanced modem string manually if it could not be detected. In this case you have to check your ISP website in order to
find the suitable GPRS or HSDPA string, phone number, username and password for a proper setup. If you enter the wrong data you will encounter
a connection failed error message.

Static when playing music via USB in car stereo after updating to OS4.1

Greetings everyone.
After updating my iPod Touch (3rd Gen) to OS4.1 I am experiencing static, scratching like or popping sounds when I am playing music in my car using the USB port. I do not get these noises when I am listening with a set of earbuds, only when in the car and connected via USB. I haven't yet tried bluetooth connection but will give it a shot tomorrow. Has anyone else experienced this?
If any one from Apple is following this thread please give me some advice how to correct this problem. I suppose if I have too and bluetooth connection gives me the same trouble I will need to restore my iPod. Is it possible to go back in OS? I was using OS 4.0.2 prior without any problems.
Thanks
Dave

Dave this is what i went thru this past week with Apple Tech
Ipod problem
Aug 19 2010 Purchased New IPOD McDill AFB
Sep 15th 2010 Upgraded IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1
On Sep 16 2010,
I notice that I tunes was skipping in my car using the USB connector. When I use the Audio output jack on the IPod the ITunes music did not skip. I hooked up a NANO to the USB connector in my car and the music played good no skips.
Sep 17 2010
I notified Apple Care and told them of the problem and they concluded it was an IPOD Problem. They issued a repair number (177988440) and notified Apple Distributer in Brandon, FL ( 50 miles from my home) to allow me to exchange the
IPOD for a newer one Ser# 9E0344816K2.
When I connected the new IPod to My Mac I was prompted to upgrade the IPOD software from 3.1.3 to 4.1. However, before I upgraded I notified the Apple Technician (Ms. Daylin Dat # 877-416-4271 Ex 2845) of the replacement and I asked if it was feasible to upgrade the IPOD to 4.1 since I believed the new up grade caused the problem.
Daylin, said to go ahead and up grade the IPOD to the 4.1 version.
When I completed the up grade I connected the IPOD to my car’s USB connection and the same problem occurred in the new IPOD.
I took the new IPOD to Gettle Toyotta in Bradenton and asked if I could use one of their cars that has a USB connection and test out my IPOD and sure enough I had the same problem with the ITunes music (It was skipping).
I notified Apple Technician again and they said go back up to the Brandon Apple distributor and get a replacement for this IPOD. I said no because it was a 100 mile round trip so they said were going to mail me a replacement.
I returned the IPOD to Apple they did all kinds of in house test and said there was no problem wit it so they sent it back to me. So now i'm stuck with a IPOD that i cannot use with the USB connection in my auto
Note I went on Toyota Prius forum site and there was a lot of discussion with the IPOD 3rd generation with IOS 4.1
A lot of people are have this problem
I notified Apple Tech and sent them a link to the Prius Form site.
So that where it stands right now.
By the way I hooked up the IPOD to a brand new Honda USB port and it worked great so the issue is with the IPOD IOS 4.1 and Toyota autos.

Cannot Browse - iPhone Personal Hotspot via BT

Hi
I've already posted this question in the MBA community as I wasn't sure if this is a hardware or software issue but some additional testing has me thinking it's the latter.
You can see the original post and all the gory details here but essentially I am having problems browsing the web when I connect to my iPhone 3GS' personal hotspot via Bluetooth.
Somewhat coincidentally, the issues only started happening since I updated the respective OSs to 10.7.2 (from 10.7.1) and 5 respectively - before then I had no problems using my MBA with my iPhone.
Using my 1st gen iPad to make the same connection works perfectly and oddly enough if I connect the MBA to the iPhone's network having first connected the iPad (whilst the iPad is still connectied), I can browse fine on the MBA.
Disconnecting the iPad from the network I can still browse OK but when I disconnect and reconnect just the MBA, I am back to the original problem and cannot browse.
FYI, browsing on the MBA via wi-fi works OK.

Thanks again for replying.
It is connected - see screen shot below. Just to be clear, the problem is that I am unable browse the web whilst my MBA is connected to my iPhone's network via BT.

Issue with Ford Sync (Microsoft Sync) & iPhone 4--Playing Music via USB

I have a 2011 Ford Flex and and iPhone 4. The Sync system will not play music via the USB connection. It is quite temperamental with the bluetooth as well. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Well I have a 2010 Fusion with Sync and an iPhone 4. Have had various issues getting things to work right all the time. I'm not sure if Sync in the 2011's is much different.
When you say it doesn't play music, what does it do when you give it the USB command? Does the iPhone charge when plugged into the USB port? If the phone charges and it seems to let you select USB but doesn't play any music, on your iPhone, go to iPod and you may see an accessory connected screen. Touch the icon next to SYNC and you will see SYNC and doc connector listed. Touch doc connector and see if the music is heard.
If you haven't already register at www.syncmyride.com you will find some community forums there with hints/steps on getting Sync and iPhone to work properly.
Generally though, there have been a lot of issues with SYNC and Apple devices.
Hope this helps.

Why can't I get the device folder when I connect my iPhone to PC via USB?

When connecting my 4s to a PC via usb, I cannot get the window with the folder containing fotos and other items. It only appears a camera / scanner or windows as options to open. Why? Is it the result of upgrading to OS 6.1.3? Thank you.

iPhone is designed not to be able to transfer content that way. You can import photos and videos ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 ) but there are limits/restrictions. For example, you can sync music that you downloaded from the internet to the iPhone, but not transfer it back to a computer. This has everything to do with music rights/legal stuff, you can only transfer purchased items from the phone to a computer using iTunes.
hope this helps !

Syncing some songs onto iPhone hard drive via USB, but streaming the rest via iCloud?

Hi,
I have a lot of music, well over 50 GB. I have iCloud and iTunes Match. I recently got a 32GB iPhone 5. I was under the impression that I could sync some of my music library onto my iPhone via USB from my mac, but then still be able to access the rest of my songs via iCloud?
1. I live out in the country where cell service and/or Wifi is not always available.
2. I would like to have the songs I listen to most on my iPhone's hard drive, so I don't have to waste my data to stream them. However, if there's an artist that I don't listen to very often and is not on my hard drive, I would still like to be able to pull them up and stream them via iCloud.
When I had iTunes Match turned on on my iPhone, I would press Sync on iTunes and nothing would happen. I could access all of my music on my iPhone, but none of it was actually on the hard drive, it was all just streaming from iCloud. Searching around online and on these forums, I found that the only way to actually put music onto the iPhone's hard drive is to turn iTunes Match off. However, I also read that if you turn it back on after, it will just erase your previous library?
It seems there should be a way to do this? I can't be the only person with too many songs to fit on the iPhone that doesn't want to pay to stream every song?
I have also heard a lot of bad things about syncing via Wifi, and that it will eat up your data plan. I would like to be able to sync my songs via USB, but then still access the rest of my library via iCloud.
Please let me know if this is possible. Any assistance is appreciated.

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

Loading music via USB mass storage (from other os ...

Does the N* phones support just copying the music files via the USB masstorage device or do you have to use the software?

Copying via usb-storage works fine. I'm a happy Slackware Linux user so no problems there. You just have to remember to go into the music player and do "Options" > "Refresh".
A wireless alternative is to set up an FTP server on your machine and to access data using the phone as an FTP client. I use "SIC! FTP" for that.
