IPhone 4S doesn't work with car stereo

For about 2 years I've been using my iPhone 3GS connected to the USB input of my JVC car stereo. I just upgraded to the 4S and the stereo doesn't recognize the phone at all. Is this a bug of some kind?
Thanks!
Randy

To update my original post, I discovered that my 4S does work with my JVC car radio when I use the Apple USB cable that I use to sync with my PC. This happens to be the cable that came with my 3GS, but it works fine to sync the 4S. I don't know whether the short non-Apple cable I had in the car is broken, or whether something about the iPhone has changed to make it obsolete. In any case, I'm back in business!

Bluetooth on iPhone 6 does not work with car stereo

I have used iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S on my car - my own and my families phones. They all work as intended with regard to music and most importantly telephony. My car (FORD S-MAX) has buttons etc. for phone navigation. My daughters and wifes 5S's still work.
When I paired my new iPhone 6, the pairing itself was successful, but it does not work at all.
1) Incoming calls show my own telephone number, regardless of who calls
2) I cannot use the car buttons for anything, neither pickup, hangup or anything else
3) Regardless of what I do, the Podcast starts playing, if I choose Bluetooth as sound input on car. If I click pause on Podcast, it resumes after a while, sometimes immediately.
4) If I use the phone to dial a number, the sound is not in the car, even if sound source is Bluetooth/Car. If I select something else and back to car, the sound is in the car.
Hopefully this is soon to be solved! Or is there already a solution out there?
Best regards
Matt, Denmark

My iPhone 6 pairs just fine with my 07 Z4 ,no idrive etc just the basic B/T install on a Business standard radio set up with e snap in connector for the iPhone
but not yet an iPhone 6 snap in
You may need to ensure you clear all ol pairings from Beemer they have a limited number of pairings that can be stored at one time
To dispel all the bad press my 6 also happily paired with my '13 X1 without any issues and with the correct snap in also plays audio
The issue is usually with iDrive which BMW do have some issues with

IPhone 4S doesn't work with car adapter

My wife and I upgraded our 3GS phones to 4S. We have an aftermarket iPhone adapter in our car, I don't recall the brand, but it worked fine with our Toyota Camry sound system. We could charge our phones and play music using the factory stock CD transport controls with the adapter. When we plugged in the 3GS phones, we would get a message "This accessory is not optimized for iPhone..." but once the message was dismissed it worked fine, even with iOS5. Howwever, my 4S phone does not work with the adapter. When I plug it in it charges, but I don't get the error message and the music function does not work at all. Strangely, my wife's 4S works fine. The only difference is that hers is 16 GB and mine is 32 GB. I tried removing apps and hard re-starting, to no avail. Is it possible that the hardware connector on my phone is defective and the contacts for music playback aren't functional? Any other suggestions?

IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

IPhone original doesn't work with Belkin TuneBase FM after 2.0.1 update

iPhone original doesn't work with Belkin TuneBase FM after 2.0.1 update

Firstly, XE 10.2.0.1 isn't the same as 10gR2 10.2.0.1
It was released a bit later and had some fixes that were in later 10.2.0.x patchsets (and also had some different security settings). Maybe they should have gone with 10.2.1.1.
Second, the embedded PL/SQL gateway was okay for XE, but isn't supported for Apex on the Standard/Enterprise Edition until 11g. It doesn't mean it never works, but it does mean that you shouldn't rely on it.
That said, there are other issues with 10.2.0.1 so I'd recommend going for the latest patchset anyway.
Thirdly, if you get the XDB login dialog box, something has gone wrong. For the embedded PL/SQL gateway, XDB is acting as a virtual webserver. Generally what should happen is you connect to the webserver (XDB) and request a page (the APEX login page) and XDB should give it to you, no questions asked.
If it asks you to login then the XDB webserver is running but is trying to get authorisation before it gives you the page. [By the way, if it does prompt for a username/password, it is expecting a database username/password, not an apex one or an O/S one] I'd suspect something is wrong with the setup.
What happens if you ask for a simple image like

TS1398 My iphone 4 doesn't work with public wifi

My iPhone 4 doesn't work with any of the apps apart from weather app when I use public wifi, such as iCloud. The sign still shows that I am connected with wifi hotspot even when the signal is the strongest.
I have tried resting my iPhone 4. But doesn't work. But other wifi such as in my home or at uni which require login work well with the device. I am not sure what seems to be the problem.

Apple doesnt like generic network names link Linksys, or Belkin - when the network is a generic name there is no way to identify your "linksys" vs my "linksys" so it has trouble connecting and remembering these networks.
You need to connect to a unique network name as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4199

IPhone 3G does not work with car integration after 2.2 update

I just upgraded my iPhone 3G with the new 2.2 software update and now it doesn't work with my car integration. Very frustrating... I have a 2009 Honda Civic that has a USB interface. Before the update I was able to charge and play music through the USB interface. In addition, I could also control the music through the stereo. After the update, it says not compatible and it doesn't even charge the phone anymore. Doesn't anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it? Street view is cool but i will definitely revert back to 2.1 if I can't fix this...

I am having the same problem here After updating to 2.2 the iPhone has stopped working in the car. The stereo just simply refuses to see it. The car in question is a brand new 2009 VW Polo Match, which I know is not as fault as tried it with a iPod nano and worked fine.
Is reinstalling the firmware only solution to this? Do we know the cause yet?

Iphone 6 doesn't work with Uconnect

My iPhone 6 won't work with Uconnect. I can connect the phone, but as soon as I make a call it doesn't come through the speakers. I have tried a number of things suggested including deleting the blue-tooth connection both on the phone and the car. I have reset the network on the phone. I have done a hard restart on the phone. My Uconnect has the latest software upgrade. Please, please help!

i should have stayed with android as it worked with uconnect....it even allowed my jeep to read the text messages to me and I could respond...now iphone 6 and software not working ... Apple aweful at support ...

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.

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

IPod Touch 3G w/ stopped working with car stereo/docking speakers

After I upgraded to OS 4, my iPod Touch 3g stopped working through the USB port of my car stereo (just says "reading" and never progresses from there). It also stopped working through the docking station (basically a large clock radio) that I bought for my living room -- it will recharge and play music through the speakers but the docking station and its remote can no longer control the music (can't advance to the next song or anything else), so I have to physically change things on the ipod itself.
I was told by Crutchfield (where I'd purchased the car stereo) that this was a known problem with Apple -- that with OS4, many of the devices that previous worked with iPods no longer worked, and that this would be resolved in a later version of the OS that would provide some backward compatibility. However, I can't find anything at all about this.
If anyone knows more information about this, or has a link to where I might be able to read more, I'd appreciate the info. I selected and installed both the (almost new!!) car stereo and docking station specifically because they allowed me to connect and control my iPod, and now I've lost that functionality and the $$ I put into those devices (over $300 total)!

I apologize for posting a bit early. Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off. They also recommended a reset of the Touch. After doing these two things it is now working. Maybe this will help someone else.

IPod Touch Stopped Working With Car Stereo

Hello Everyone,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation that was working perfectly with the after market car stereo in my truck The Stereo is an Alpine CDE-102 and I am using the iPod interface and correct cable. After upgrading to IOS6 the car stereo fails to reconize the device and "SEARCHING" for a few minutes then gives the response "error - 1". Has anyone else seen this or know of a solution? Thanks!

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.
