Ios 8.3/iPhone 6 problem connecting to Pioneer car stereo

Pioneer model AVH-X2600.
There are two ways to connect to my car stereo to play music: iPod mode or Bluetooth. Prior to 8.3 the BT connection would automatically pause my music after about 10 seconds. After I push Play on the stereo it would continue on without issue. Following the 8.3 update, after about 10 seconds on the BT connection there is this awful scratching/skipping noise, not unlike a skipping cd. But after 5-10 seconds of that, everything is back to normal.
Prior to 8.3 the iPod mode would take a good 20 secs to connect, but then everything would play normally. Now, with 8.3, it won't connect at all.
I don't have any problems with BT connections to other speakers, so maybe this is a Pioneer problem?? Anyone else having this same problem?

Apple is messing with car connectivity for the new car functionality. The "updates" are breaking iPod mode on multiple vehicles. iOS 8.4 Beta 1 is even worse. Connects fine but most functionality is broken.

IPhone 5 connected to Pioneer car stereo has no sound

I have a Pioneer AVIC-X940BT head unit and an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.01. I connected the iPhone to the head unit via a Lighting to 30-pin adapter. At first I couldn't get the iPhone to communicate with the head unit but after doing a hard reset on the iPhone it is communicating...sort of. If I use Pandora, Aha Radio or try to play my music on the iPhone the controls come up but there is no sound. If I use the iPhone with my headphones I have sound. I install AppRadio from the iTunes store but that didn't help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions someone might have.

Okay... no replies from anybody, but fortunately, it seems that the IOS 5.1 update fixed all the volume issues. Hopefully this helps somebody else.

How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

After updating to IOS 7.0.6 my iPhone 5 wont connect to my car stereo.

Last night i happily listened to my iPhone through my car stereo, got home, updated to the new IOS 7.0.6 and went to bed.
Having got into my car this morning, i plugged in my phone to find that it would not connect and the car stereo just kept searching. I tried unplugging, waiting a while, turning the adaptet round, waititng again juste in case the connection wasnt good but to no joy. All i can put it down to is the update...
Any help Apple????

My problem exactly! With Iphone 4! The updated phone will not connect, the other Iphone 4 not running this latest update works fine! Come on Apple!! Need a fix yesterday!

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

Pioneer car stereo and iOS 7?

I recently purchased a Pioneer car stereo so that I could play music from my iPod Touch 5G. (My stock stereo did not have a conntection). I uploaded the new iOS 7 and plugged it in the morning on the way to work and there was an error on the car stereo. Then the iPod said (this is not a compatible device). Obviously it is the new OS that caused this. What can I do? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not tell me that I have to contact Pioneer to rectify the issue. THANK YOU!!

- First reset the car system, and reset the iPod,
- 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.
- Contact Pioneer. Maybe there is firmware update for the car system
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.
If still problem then the iOS update broke compatibility. That happens sometimes. You will have to wait for a iOS update or a firmware update to the car system

IOS 4.x.x. not working with some car stereos?

This last friday I bought a Pioneer car stereo, the 4200ub to be exact, and whenever I try to use the usb input on it it gets error-19. Error-19 is a communication error with the stereo and the iPhone. I've tried new cables, to reboot the phone, unplugged it and plugged it back in, restarted the car, and restored the iPhone. I've posted on the Crutchfield forums about this issue and they seem to think its an issue with the iPhone new firmware, iOS 4.x.x. They say it has screwed up compatibility for most alpine car stereos and some pioneer and clarion. I don't know what else to do but, if this issue isn't fixed soon I guess i'm going to have to rma the radio.

I bought an iphone 4 at the end of December so I'm not sure what iOS I was running. I just bought a new car stereo system 2 weeks ago to use with my iPhone.
I spent 2 grand on Alpine head unit and Focal components and sub. My phone worked fine through the USB on the drive home.
That night I updated to 4.3.1. Problems appeared immediately. Static hiss and pops and crackles. I cannot listen to my music. Terrible Apple. Terrible. Please fix. I chose my stereo based on iphone compatibility and ease of use through USB connection. The update rendered it all useless the day I spent a ton of money.
I've left feedback. I guess I'll post in any related forum. Let's try to make some noise so Apple can address this issue.
PLEASE!
- A poor pathetic fool who spent way more than he should have on his car stereo only to regret it after updating to iOS 4.3.1

IPhone no longer plays through car stereo after OS 4 upgrade.

My wife and I upgraded to OS 4 on 6/21. Both will no longer play or charge through the USB connection to our car stereos. We both have Kenwood decks but different models.
Any ideas?

Did you look here?

Why can't I connect iPod to car stereo with red/white RCA cables?

I have red/white/yellow RCA (I think that's the name of them) plugs in my car stereo and I bought a cable to connect it to my iPod. It's the small plug (3.5 I think) on one end and a split 'Y' that's red and white on the other. The people and my car dealer connected a cell phone that is also a music player to it and it works, but it won't work with the iPod connected. The dealer thought it should be able to work with my iPod, but doesn't know why it won't. Are iPods able to connect to a car stereo this way. Is there another special cable that I need to get?

No, I should think that would work fine. I have a splitter like that connected to my hifi and no issues...you would want to make sure the volume on the iPod is up all the way; I don't know what car stereo you have, but possibly it's a setting on there that isn't right?

Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all. You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

Iphone not connecting to my car

I am able to connect my iphone 6 for making calls in my Mercedez but not able to play the music via bluetooth, any comments to resolve this issue will be appreciated.

Hi sadakat26,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your car and your iPhone are not working together as you would expect; you are able to make and receive calls but not play music. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article for information about using your iOS device with your car stereo. To troubleshoot this issue, I would advise working through the Troubleshooting tips section towards the bottom of the article.

6300 connection to my pioneer car stereo

My 6300 connects to my BT stereo but I cant transfer my phonebook from the phone, its says this is because the radio is considered to be a headset according to the phone, can this be altered? thanks.

Unless the BT stereo have a profile that supports phone book, I don't think it's possible. Some BT devices is FW upgradable ask your dealer if it is.

(GENIUS) Connecting iTouch to Car Stereo Head Unit

Ok
This one is for all of you wearing those black Genius T-Shirts
I have an iTouch
I am connecting it to my Pioneer DEH-6600 car stereo head unit
I have connected it using the Pioneer CD-IB100 iPod Adapter
Everything is working fine
Though I an only control my iTouch through the head unit controls
And would prefer to control it from the iTouch directly
Though when I start it up
The screen immediately locks to show iTouch Connected to an Accessory
When I push the menu button
The main menu comes up
But when I select Music
I goes back to the locked screen showing iTouch Connected to an Accessory
Is there anyway to bypass this so that I can control the iTouch directly rather than from the head unit
Desperate

The method used to recognize the device has a shortcut to improve the connect time. So after the update to iOS4, the host device still thinks that it is connecting to the un-updated client device. The client device ie. Your iPhone with iOS4, must fool the host device ie. Your car stereo, into believing that is an entirely new device. This is done by connecting your iPhone to the stereo head USB port with the iPhone switched off completely. This is achieved by holding down the top power button on the iPhone until the red slide bar comes up and prompts yup to shut the iPhone down. Do this and then with the car stereo switched on, plug the iPhone into the USB socket and wait till the iPhone stars of it's own accord. If it does not start, press the top power button on the phone until it starts. This will force the stereo and iPhone to re-negotiate the handshake between the devices and get you back to where you will once again be happy.
