IOS4.0.1 update causing GM Car Stereo Issues

Hi
Updated to iOS 4.0.1 yesterday. Since the update when i plug my phone into my car via 30 pin connector and USB, my interface on my car loads as normally, however after a few minutes or so, or if i go to change songs, static cuts though and eventually will cut out the music sometimes remaining as ear shattering static or switch to static. At this point the car's UI will be stuck on that song and time elapsed on the song, i can switch to a different source and come back and the static or silence will remain.
On the iPhone 4, the play symbol will still be displayed as well as the album art of the song playing. Nothing has changed since the last time i used the setup except for updating to iOS 4.0.1.
Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Similar problem here. My iPhone 3Gs worked sometimes in my 2010 Suburban when connected by USB cable. Then I updated the iPhone to version 4 and it stopped working completely. When I used the new "Multifunction" app to close all open apps it began to work. However, a week later it has stopped working at all. The "IPod/Aux" does not appear on the radio screen and there is no music menu. The iPhone appears to be charging, but songs play from the iPhone speaker, not the car stereo. Does anyone know of a solution or if GM is working on an update to the firmware in their radio?
(I would post this on a GM forum if there was one.)

4.3 Update - Car Stereo Issue, voice dialing not working with Bluetooth

I've seen some similar issues reported, but they were for specific cars/stereos, and the symptoms were different, so I'm posting about mine:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII, Android 4.3.
Car Stereo: Pioneer AVH-X2500BT
This is a stereo I bought and installed myself. All of its features worked fine, and I was enjoying making calls using voice dialing via the stereo. Then, I installed the 4.3 update to the Galaxy SIII. Ever since (literally, I made a call that day before installing it, and tried shortly after), I cannot use the voice dialing feature. Any attempt to use voice dialing or voice commands via the car stereo will fail. Here's what happens:
I do a long press on the car stereo's Home button to initiate voice dialing. On my phone, S-Voice starts up, and a Toast (little message) pops up briefly that says "Check in-car audio". When I talk, the little animation on the microphone button in S-Voice does not happen, meaning it's not hearing anything. The car stereo shortly cancels out of voice dialing mode, as though it timed out, or something.
I've tried switching to Google voice, but the same thing happens. I've tried all kinds of configuration on both devices. I've unpaired and re-paired. Nothing.
Also, turn-by turn directions from Google Maps appears to not work. The app thinks it's giving them, and when I turn the car off, the voice suddenly works from the phone, but it just won't come out the stereo.
All other features work fine, including Pandora, and streaming Bluetooth audio. I can even make phone calls, by accessing the contacts and recent call list from the car stereo. The calls work and come through the stereo fine. Literally voice dialing and Google Maps are all that doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

There could be any number of factors that may be affecting this, byounie. It may be that the firmware on your car stereo headunit may need to be updated. My direct recommendation to check first would be to access your bluetooth submenu, and next to paired info for the Pioneer AVH-X2500BT, you should see a little cog wheel/settings icon. Please select this, and start unselecting everything available there. Work your way up, and enable and test these different settings one by one, to see if there is a conflict between Google Maps and Voice dialing services. Let us know what happens, byounie.

Car stereo issues

Does anyone know how to fix the problem of running there iphone thru their car stereo system. ever since i loaded the new os4 into the iphone i cant seem to get it to work the stereo ipod cable. tried everything. reboot this, reboot that and nothing. my old iphone works and still has the 3.1 software on it.

Hi.. I have a Sony Mex-bt3800u and had the same problem. Bought it when I was running os4.0.1 and after a hard reset everything worked great. Last weekend I updated to os4.1 and the stereo would no longer connect via usb.. But it wud thru Bluetooth. It drove me mad n nothing was able to cure the problem. I spoke with Sony n they said apple needed to fix. I wasn't happy n almost took the stereo back.. B4 I finalised this decision tho I visited halfords with my lead n phone n realised it wudnt work with any of the stereos which meant it was an iPhone problem. So I kept the stereo as it has the best of everything n least it still had the blutooth streaming option. Anyway.. I ordered an iPhone 4 last nyt which should come 2moro so decided I wud set my 3G up for my gf/t mobile. Now os4.1 doesn't have an unlock so I decided to downgrade back to os4. This ended up being pointless because it didn't downgrade the basement also. So I upgraded str8 afterwards again n am now waiting for 4.2. Anyway to cut a long story short.. My phone didn't connect b4 doing this.. I backed up from a much earlier backup n synced only the music at first and then afterwards a few of my apps too as it'll b set up as a new phone once the 4 comes thru the door. This was done yesterday. I came out to my car this evening and much to my amazement the phone now works with the stereo perfectly again. And I'm not even 100% sure why. Everything is the same as it was. Except I guess I skipped os 4.0.1 as now I went from 4.0-4.1. Other than this I only synced music.. Then apps. And I haven't added my Cydia tweaks cos theres no point yet. I did do the complete upgrade within it tho as before and the iPhone n stereo connectivity Is fully back for anything iPhone related on youtube.. Follow dinozabinos or what it is he calls himself. I never have any issues following his advice. This myt not solve your problem but it certainly has mine. I used the same oringinal version of 4.1 as I already had previously so that ain't updated!!. So I don't yet see what's different. But I can defiantly assure you this worked. If ya can't tell.. I'm made up. I may trobleshoot further if the new 4 has any issues. Good luck. I'm assuming this post won't b banned by mentioning the word Cydia because it's helpful and I found a big named store t'other day selling iPhones 4 which all had this on them. This told me 1 thing. They were jailbroken. Say no more.

Latest update caused a lot of issues....

Anyone else having inssues with it? My closed screen camera doesnt work now, imoji textes dissapear and it seems as if my battery was "improved" ZERO. Whats the deal apple!

JLaines,
Before you embarrass yourself further by trying to communicate directly with Apple here, please know that this forum consists of only users, just like you. We're not Apple.
Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW device. Have you gone through ALL these troubleshooting steps yet?

Fast fwd & rewind buttons jamming on car stereo

A few months ago I noticed that the fast forward and rewind buttons no longer functioned properly on my car stereo. I have an iphone 5 currently on IOS 7.1.2. I do not know if this loss of function coincided with a software update but the buttons worked with my iphone 5 when I first purchased the car in March 2012. Now when playing music on my car stereo via bluetooth from my iphone this is what happens: If I try to fast forward a little bit through a track the fast forward button just keeps going faster and faster until it gets to the end of the track i.e., it doesn't stop skipping forward when I lift my finger off the car stereo button. The same thing happens with the rewind button. All other buttons work fine - skip track, volume, etc but once I touch the fast forward or rewind buttons no matter how briefly, the tune will just keep fast forwarding until it reaches the end (or beginning) of the track.
Car is Toyota Yaris 2012. I have contacted Toyota to ask them to find out if there is a firmware update for the car stereo and they are going to get back to me.
I have tried a phone reset. I have tried un-pairing and repairing however I did not delete all devices from the car stereo just my phone.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Issue resolved, sold iPhone and now using Android smartphone.
Works perfectly with all my audio devices and so much faster than iPhone should have done this much earlier

Car stereo connect to Iphone?

Hello, my car stereo is designed for Ipod, it can be directly plugged into the car stereo system and play whatever songs it contain. Now that I've ordered myself an Iphone I were wondering if anyone here know if it will be possible to plug an Iphone into that stereo? Does it have the same kind of plug? and should by stereo be able to detect the music that is saved on it?
it's this stereo http://www.fusionelectronics.com/en/europe/car-audio-1/headunits-6/cacd500-28-pr oduct.aspx

Hi mlbreid,
If you are having issues with the connection between your iPhone and your car stereo, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular 1 and 2 (Verify Compatibility and Updates), given the recent iOS update:

Update caused lack of connectivity to car stereo

Updated my ipod touch to the latest software (4.2) and now my car stereo won't recognize it. I get a incompatible error message from the stereo. Took the car to the dealer, connects with an un-updated iPod, but not the most recent update. Does Apple have a fix for it's fix or am I out of luck?
Thanks!!

Well, in Apple's defense how do you know that the stereo manufacturer explicitly followed Apple's standard? Just because it once worked doesn't mean they did everything correctly. Do not expect Apple to do anything, it won't happen. Push back on the other side, though you may not have luck there either.
However, if you have a 4G Touch, make sure you're using the iPod cable it came with. I've seen someone say that their 4G Touch will only work in their truck with the supplied cable, not the cable from their 2G Touch. I don't know for sure if Apple changed the internals of the iPod cable, but its not out of the question, and perhaps the iOS update now takes advantage of whatever change Apple may have made to the cable.

Connection errors with Pioneer AVH P3100DVD Car Stereo after iOS4.1 Update

I just upgraded to iOS 4.1 and now my Pioneer AVH P3100DVD car stereo has a "skipping" problem like a record or CD with a scratch in it when connected to my iPhone 4.
I've tried disconnecting the USB cable, restarting both my iPhone 4 as well as my car stereo - nothing seems to work. Think of it as watching a streaming video having buffering issues, you hear about a half second of audio, then it drops out, then another half second of audio, drop out, etc.
Plugged in my Classic iPod which still works fine so I know it's not the stereo unit or the cable connection. Has to be something caused by the new software upgrade?
Worked flawlessly with my iPhone 4 up until installing the upgrade yesterday and now haven't been able to find a remedy to the problem. It's as if the stereo keeps dropping the connection every half second.
Anyone out there with the same problem and found a remedy?

LOL...I am happy that I am not the only person to have this problem.
Here is my thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2574519&tstart=0
I too have the same problem with the same Stereo. Except...I have had this problem once before on iOS 4.0.1 When I received my phone new from the factory, it had 4.0.1 on it. It had this problem with my 3100DVD radio too. However when I did a restore on my phone, it fixed it up to a point. I could listen to Pandora without any skips. My ipod would only work without skips if I setup the radio to give the IPOD controls.
Ever since I "Upgraded" to 4.1 it skips on my stereo no matter what I do. I haven't had a chance to do a restore yet. When I do one, I hope that it will work again.

After an update, my touch is no longer recognized by iTunes or USB input on car stereo

Formerly I was able to connect my touch to both iTunes (Windows) and through USB on my car stereo (Kenwood). After updating the touch's IOS I cannot connect to either. I am able to connect to the car stereo through blue tooth. I did open an iCloud account for the touch but I doubt that is a factor. I have tried turning the unit completely off and that does not help. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it making certain I used the 64-bit version. It is still not recognized. Any ideas on what to try next?

As it turns out, this was a hardware failure. One of the pins on the bottom connector was bent and caused the problem. What burns me is the problem initially showed itself after updating to ios 5.0.1. I tried a reset over the weekend (including deleletion of my entire music collection) to no avail. I took it in to the local Apple store today and they essentially turned it into a paper weight. After putting it into recovery mode the unit would no longer turn on at all. Unfortunately they wouldn't replace the unit for free because it was 11 days out of warranty. I could have lived with the Touch with all my music on it, but it was worthless after the music was deleted. I feel like they should have replaced it for free. I was planning on upgrading to the next iPhone but this has shaken my confidence (as well as irritating the living **** out of me).
To be fair, Apple did replace the player at a reduced rate. That was better than nothing.

After iOS5 update, iPod no longer connects to car stereo

Hi,
my husband and I both have an iPod touch 4th generation.
We also have a Dodge Caravan with a car stereo, that lets up hook up the iPods and control them over the display. The cable does not charge the iPods, but we knew that.
I have updatedt my iPod a while ago and never encountered any problems with the car stereo.
My husband updated his iPod to iOS5 today, and the car stereo does not connect via the cable. On the iPods display it just says, an error has ocurred.
Would that be a hardware issue? The iPod is a month or two past warranty. We already tried restarting and resetting the iPod (not to factory settings).
Is there maybe a way, to return the iPod to iOS4?
Thanks for any help

Sometimes, when you cannot "see" your ipod, it is because the drive that was assigned to the ipod, when you connected it, is already being used by the other devise. Your ipod is connected, but is "under" the other item, which means that you have to disconnect that item, so that you can "see" it. It will not be one of the drives that are normally associated with the computer like the C drive, or the ones assigned to your disc drives. It would be a drive that was assigned to an external devise, or another USB devise. This may or may not be your problem, but it is worth a shot.

Car Stereo No Longer Recognizes iPhone after iOS 7.1 Update

I connect my iPhone to my car stereo with via USB (the stereo doesn't have bluetooth) and now after the iOS 7.1 update, it no longers works in my car. My stereo displays an error message of 'iPod err' when I connect it. I've used this same car stereo and USB cable to connect my iPhone for years without any issues, until the 7.1 update a couple days ago.
Anyone else having this issue? This is real frustrating.

In another thread on this issue, Brendan writes:
Turns out restarting my car and/or rebooting my iphone "fixed" the issue. Apparently this was unrelated to the iOS 7.2 upgrade. Honda + iPhone has been rock solid (even if the Honda Fit UI is terrible), so I'm not sure what to make of this problem. Maybe a glitch? Who knows.
Here is the URL for that thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/25211736?ac_cid=tw123456#25211736
His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
Good luck!

Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car. Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player. I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have. Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to see an update on issues like this.
I have the pioneer avh-3400bh. Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should. Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information. Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control. the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything. Same for the pandora app

After updating to 4.3.5, my iPod Touch nolonger works on my car stereo! Any idea how to restore Version 4.3.4

Don't know if any other users have had this problem?
I have updated my iPod Touch (4th Generation) to the latest software version (4.3.5) but now I can no longer use my iPod Touch with my car stereo.
I drive a brand new Chevrolet Orlando, & until I updated to 4.3.5, My iPod Touch work perfectly with the inbuilt car stereo, including the steering mounted controls & displaying track names, artiest, album, Etc.
Ever since the update, I have lost the display on the stereo, but it still recognises that I have pluged the iPod in.
The only way I can get my iPod to play is by playing a track through the inbuilt speaker (on the iPod) & then plugging it into the car stereo.
When I do this thou, I have no control over what is being played as I am unable to skip tracks/play list/Etc & I have no track information, which I could do when my iPod Touch was running software version 4.3.4 & below!
Is there any way I can reinstall version 4.3.4? I have tried to do a restore through iTunes, but it keeps installing 4.3.5! I have tried to reset my iPod, but again it reinstalls 4.3.5
Any help & advice would be great!

Just to add a bit more information here! LOL!
Tried the followind devises on the car stereo & here are the results -
My Wifes iPhone 3G running iOS 4.3.2 = Worked fine!
My Sons iPhone 4G running iOS 4.3.4 = Worked fine!
My Sons iPod Classic running iOS 2.2.1 = Worked fine!
My Daughters iPod Touch (3rd Gen) running iOS 4.3.3 = Worked fine!
I think this rules out the problem being with my iPod Touch, as it is the only Apple product we as a family own which has been updated to 4.3.5! The rest of my family are now holding off updating there's! LOL!!

Using With car stereo after 3.0 update

Hi,
i have my iPhone connected to my Pioneer car stereo through USB, i can view the iPod song list playlists etc on the phone aswell as using the stereo. The song/artist/album titles used to have about a second delay before they displayed the on the car stereo screen but since the 3.0 update this has been taking up to 5 seconds which is really really annoying.
Anyone any ideas why?
Neil

Add me to the list. Brand blankety-new ipod touch that after 4.0.2 wouldn't work with the Subaru-factory-installed ipod connector in my '08 STI. The shut-it-off-and-restart-in-the-car method at least made it able to play music again but still no recharging.
To add insult to injury I did the have-an-Apple-GENIUS call me thing. The first thing was that they called me....for about 1/4 of a second. The phone blipped for less than a ring and then I got an email saying, "Oh, we TRIED to reach you and you weren't there. Why don't you call us?". So I called and was immediately put on hold. When one of the geniuses finally picked up, I described the issue with great patience and his insightful answer was, "let me put you on hold while I talk to my supervisor." So I sat on hold for five minutes until...they just hung up...no answer, no, "gee we think you're SOL"....just "click". Thanks a boatload Mr. Jobs.

Since IOS7 update, my car stereo will not communicate with my Iphone 4

Ok, I have had Kenwood car stereos with bluetooth connection since they came out with it and I have never had a problem. Now I am so mad, I am ready to throw my phone out the window. I can plug into usb or stream music bluetooth and it plays just like it always has. It even lists the name of the song and artist while the song plays. My problem is that since the update, I can no longer skip songs or dial by voice. I called Kenwood and they say that I am not alone. Their phones have been ringing constantly with disgruntled Iphone users. Do I need to buy a new phone or can Apple fix the problem? As I see it, this is dangerous because you literally have to pick up your phone, swipe the screen once to unlock, then swipe again to go to music playing, then pick the song you want to listen to which now shows up as like 20 tiny thumbnails (android copy?). How am I supposed to drive safely when I have to do this? Before I could just put Itunes on shuffle and tap the next button on my remote to skip songs without ever taking my eyes off the road. Also, before IOS7 I could hit the voicecall button and dial by saying the name of the person I wanted to call. Now I have to unlock the phone and go through the whole dangerous process of finding the contact and dialing. Is there a fix in the works Apple? Please advise. Thanks

If your phone supports Siri (a 4 doesn't), you _should_ be able to hold down the home button until she is ready then say call XXX. Of course, that is only a stopgap. I have no idea why Apple has to break things to advance their OS. I'm not happy about many of the stunts they pull these days. The only other suggestion I have is to delete the pair between devices and pair them again. There's a slight chance it may work. Otherwise, one of the companies is going to have to release an update to fix it. Maybe kenwoodusa.com already has. Have you checked?
