IOS 4.1 & My Car Radio

Hey Everyone,
I have a 2007 Ford Focus, and I have an aftermarket touch screen Pioneer deck installed (This guy right here: http://www.wirelessconnections.gy/images/b178570.jpg). One of the main reasons I bought this radio was because of the amazing direct connection iPod/iPhone with full support for charging (via USB) When plugged in, I see my artists, albums, album artwork, playlists, etc on my deck. I recently updated to iOS 4.1, and now it appears randomly every 10-30 seconds a song will cut out for a good 1-2 seconds, and start back up again. Do you guys know what could be causing this? It's been a real head-scratcher for me, I understand that's it's obviously 4.1, but what in 4.1 could have caused this?
I have an iPhone 3G with iOs 3.1.2, and i'm using that temporarily, but it's a real hassle having to update 2 phones constantly for new music.
Do you think contacting Apple would even be worth it?
Thanks guys!

You aren't the only person with problems on this Stereo and 4.1

I too have this issue and I am vigorously looking for a solution.
You might want to contact both Pioneer and Apple to try to get a fix. If you do manage to get a fix for it, please post what the fix is.

  • Anyone else lose bluetooth connection with car radio since updating to IOS 6?

    I've lost consistent connection between my iPhone 4S and car radio (Kenwood) ever since I upgraded to IOS 6.  This is apparantly happening to lots of people. I use this bluetooth for hands-free calling on my phone so I'm hoping Apple will come out with IOS 6.1 soon to address this software patch.  Others experiencing this with their phones and car stereo systems?

    I'm having probems as well.  I can make calls and play music but I can only change songs on my iPhone 4S but not with the controls on the car.  I was able to do this before the upgrade.

  • ITunes automatically starts playing when iPhone 5 (w iOS 7.0.2) is connected to car radio via an Apple cable

    I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.0.2, regardless it is the most recent update
    When I plug my phone into my car radio's USB port (Apple cable, not knock off) iTunes starts to play the very first song in my large iTunes library.
    I plug into the USB port to charge it and to connect the phone to radio in order to use hands free audio.
    I have tried two or three different cables, it happens with all cables and again all are actual Apple cables.
    I do not recall this happening with iOs 6 or at least as much.
    With iOs 7 it happens every f***ing time. Extremely annoying and dangerous (I may get so frustrated by this that one day I might just smash the phone or the car radio :-) to the equipment.
    I have to unlock my phone, go to iTunes and pause or stop the song/iTunes.
    The app does not show as being open, that is why I have to go iTunes itself, the old fashioned way, so to speak.
    It sometimes happens when I plug my headset in (also Apple brand, the basic ones that come with the iPad and iPhones) to phone and have tried the two different ones I have. It only seems to happen if my phone is not in use (i.e. I am on a call and switch to the headset it does not happen)
    Interestingly this issue with the headphones and iTunes automatically starting happened more with iOS 6  and than with iOS 7. Ironically the opposite is true with the car radio, USB port cable, charging and iPhone — it rarely happened with iOS 6.0 but with iOS 7.0 it always happens.
    I cannot seem to find a fix here but I do see I am not the only one with this annoying issue.
    Please someone (APPLE!)  figure out a fix.
    PS I have even considered NOT having any of my music on my phone — none at all —  which not only would solve the problem (I would hope!)  but be extremely inconvenient and defeating the purpose of only having an iPhone vs an iPhone and an iPod.
    PPS -  I probably left out something really relevant, like what color is my car , so if I did, please let me know.

    I have an iPhone 5 and every time I get into my car, as soon as my iPhone connects to the bluetooth or if I connect the USB cable, the music starts blaring through the car stereo, even if the radio was off. If I am using any of the navigation apps on my phone (google maps, waze, apple maps), and I happen to be lucky enough to have the voice directions working (that's consistently inconsistent), the music will frequently start by itself during navigation, even if I didn't turn the music on. Sometimes the music and navigation voice over will compete with each other at the same time. Sometimes they both go totally silent. Sometimes I'll hear only music. Sometimes only the voice directions. And if make or receive a phone call while the navigation is working, as soon as the phone call ends, the music will always take over again, even if I didn't have the music on prior to. I've checked and re-checked every setting on my phone, in my apps, in my car, and followed all of the suggestions I've found online (note to Apple - there are tons of posts on this topic), and nothing works.
    It seems like there should be an easy software fix for this, or at the very least, options to:
    prevent the music from starting automatically every time you connect with a cable or bluetooth (insanely annoying)
    allow voice directions to temporarily mute music, should one choose to be listenting to music and navigating at the same time
    just listen to voice direction - no music!
    Better yet, how about just provide options to let the end-user decide when to listen to music. 
    For a product that is supposed to be "intuitively easly" and/or "just works", this level of dysfunction shouldn't be acceptable. Come on Apple - what are you doing to fix this???

  • I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

    I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

    One possibility: 
    How do you know it is searching for other devices?  Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?
    Why is it searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

  • I am unable to switch to next song using my car radio and iphone

    I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.2 (11A501)
    My 2013 Camry has bluetooth function. So I paired my iPhone 4s to the bluetooth (via CarMultiMedia) in my car audio so I can make hands free calls and listen to music stored on my iphone.
    So using my car audio system, I can select BlueTooth and listen to my iPhones songs via the car radio.
    This works fine.
    However, I noticed just 2 days ago (10/4/13) thats while I can listen to the songs, I cannot change/skip to the next song using the up/down arrow on my car radio.
    I installed iOS7 back in late September, and I was able to use the skip up/down to change songs.
    Anyone have any clues for me
    1. why this function no longer work?
    2. How to get it back to work?

    Hello, UACount
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue. 
    iOS: Force an app to close

  • I have had IPhones since their inception.  Last phone was the 5.  A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus. Here is my issue. On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus

    I have had IPhones since their inception.  Last phone was the 5.  A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus.
    Here is my issue.
    On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus was it charged the phone as well. All worked great.
    Now with the 6 Plus, neither of things work.  The message on the radio (Kenwood) says I Pod error.  The message on my phone say's "this device is supported".
    I have called on this before and was told you are aware and that the issue will be addressed in a future update.  There have been several updates on IOS 8 and the issue remains.

    I have a Kenwood KDC-X695. When I purchased this stereo and had it installed, I had an ATT iPhone 4.
    It worked with the stereo, but had a few issues. I had purchased a few audio books that I would listen to while driving. When I plugged it in it would immediately begin to play the book from the beginning or if I had been listening to music, it would start playing the song that was at the top of the song list.
    The stereo came equipped with Firmware version 3.05. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 a year later. I had that phone for approximately 2 years. The song or book issue remained the same.
    I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the Bluetooth function still works, however the USB port on the stereo that the phone plugs into to allow files on the phone to play through the stereo no longer works.
    I contacted the service provider (Verizon) and after speaking to several different technical support technicians, they provided me the phone numbers for Kenwood and Apple because they were unable to help me.
    I spoke with Kenwood technical support the following day and after a few fumbling miscues from the technical advisor, it was suggested that I upgrade the firmware, even though the Kenwood literature warns against this if the Bluetooth portion is working, because if there is a problem with the upgrade, it can render the Bluetooth useless and non-functional. The advisor did suggest the latest firmware on the second or third attempt, after I pointed out what I was able to glean from my initial search.
    Later that day, I went back to the Kenwood site (from their homepage) and by using their selection tools, discovered that this particular model was only ever intended to be used with the iPhone 4S (the technical advisor was not aware of this, even though I mentioned this during my phone call earlier in the day). According to the Firmware selection tool, my iPhone 5 should not have worked with it.
    I performed the Firmware upgrade, and it took 13 minutes. This was less than the 15 minutes that was forecast in the Kenwood literature. The Bluetooth still works but the USB cable connection still causes the unsupported device message that I received prior to the upgrade. I am incredibly annoyed and disappointed.
    By upgrading to the iPhone 6, I have three choices; (1) only use the Bluetooth for phone calls without the ability to play other files from my iPhone 6 (2) forced obsolescence of my stereo, requires buying a new stereo (3) return my iPhone 6 and go back to my iPhone 5.
    I do not believe that I should have to be a software/Firmware/hardware engineer, vetting every single device that I own; prior to upgrading a cell phone.
    I am incredibly annoyed with Apple at the moment.
    I have a separate Bluetooth headset that worked with both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that the iPhone 6 simply does not recognize. That is another story for another time.
    Currently, I am incredibly underwhelmed with Apple.

  • Ios7 v. car radio loses place

    I use a 4s with my car radio.  With iOS6 I could start listening in the car, stop the car, start the car and the iphone would start playing in my car exactly where it left off.
    Now with iOS7, stopping the car and then starting it again, the phone forgets what I was listening to and starts playing the same song it always plays when it forgets where it was.  This interferes with me listening to a playlist, jumping out to do errands, jumping back in and listening where I left off.  Each time the iphone loses connection with the car audio, I have to again select the playlist to listen to.  BTW...this happens with both of my vehicles.  It was never a problem with iOS6.
    Thanks in advance, C

    I have a 4 year old JVC deck in one vehicle and a brand new Pioneer in another.  Both exhibit the same problem with the iphone which would indicate that it is the phone/iOs and not the audio decks.
    Thanks, Christopher

  • When connecting an iPod touch 4g to an accessory (car radio) can be heard crackling (cliping)

    When connecting an iPod touch 4g to an accessory (car radio) can be heard crackling (cliping), as if listening to an old record, but via headphones everything is ok. So where is the problem?

    All I can suggest are the standard fixes:
    - Reset the car system/contact the manufacturer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Sound problems with car radio

    Hello,
    I've updated my iPod touch 3G from 3....to OS 4.01. Since then there is often an "unclear" sound when it is connected with our JVC car radio. I've tried different combinations, also with an iPod classic connected with the radio and the touch with other docks, but only t h i s combination causes unsatisfying sound results. Not always, but often. It's annoying...any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Knödel

    Hi,
    I work for JVC and would like to try and help. I had similar problems with 4.0.1 which went away when I updated to iOS 4.1. Now Apple has release iOS 4.2.
    Please try a further update, and if that doesn't solve your problem, please let me know the specific model of JVC that you have.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Ipod touch playing on car radio

  • My iPhone 4 can not be read by my JVC car radio after upgrading to 5.0

    My iPhone 4 has always worked with my jvc radio until I went to 5.0 radio just says cannot read and phone says cannot playI whish Apple would fix this problem.

    I figured out my problem. When I upgraded to 5.0 my ITunes did not sync correctly so when I tried using it with my Jvc car radio it locked it. So I restored my iPhone and tried it again with no luck so I reset my radio and what do you know it works perfectly now. So if anybody else has had a similar problem try it before replacing your head unit.

  • I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

    I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

    iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
    Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.
