IPhone 4S not working with TomTom Car Kit

Hi,
I have the TomTom car kit for 3GS and have just upgraded to iPhone 4S.
I have one of the iPhone 4 adaptors from TomTom for the car kit, but even with this on, and trying some of the other suggestions online about a strip of velcro, I cannot get the cradle and the iPhone 4S to work together.
Has anyone with a 4S managed to use it with the car kit?
Thanks,
Graz.

Hi All
Right, this is what worked for me;
I had a iPhone 4 running ios 5 and all was fine. Since upgrading my to 4s my TomTom car kit wouldnt regognise the new phone.
Remove the iPhone 4 adapter (retangular stick on thing that comes with the kit specifically for the iphone 4)
turn it over so it is facing the wrong way. You should still have enough stick left behind on the kit itself to stick on again - must be the wrong way around!!
Job done!!
Works a treat

    My new iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps, nor does it give me handsfree as before.  It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.  It also sometimes gives the message that this device is not supported by iPhone (although I have been using it for several years) with my UK and Ireland, Western Europe, and USA and Canada apps.  Just replaced my 4 with a 4S rather than a 5, which won't fit the mounting kit.

    From their web site Tom Tom actually offered a converter kit at one point however all it was a 3mm thick bit of plastic with a self adhesive tape backing!

    Any ideas I'm pulling my hair out !!!

    Seems to be a hardware issue and you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider, an Apple Store , to see if other 3rd party charger will work at their place.

  • IPhone 4, iOS 4.2.1 & Bluetooth/Charging with TomTom Car Kit

    All
    FYI
    I have had a 6 mth running battle with TomTom after numerous emails, calls, new replacement car kits and troubleshooting. I basically could not get my iPhone 4 to connect to Bluetooth of TomTom CarKit (find it in Bluetooth search), nor would the Carkit charge the phone. (there were other unrelated app issues too).
    Turns out i am behind on this, as if you did not know already TomTom have told me over the phone (by v senior management team member) that the Carkit is not working with a "selection" of TomTom Carkit/iPhone users, due to a bug in the latest 4.2 and/or 4.2.1 iOS. It means the Carkit (£100 + £50 app!) bluetooth and charging feature (the main bits!) will not work with any devices on this iOS.
    He says not all people have issue but TomTom working with Apple on it and no date set for updates to fix issue by them or Apple. It means you may as well not try to chase them or Apple as wont change a thing and put your car kit in the loft as it aint going to be fixed any time soon.
    I did have my old bluetooth headset working fine, until i disconnect pairing and tried to re connect. It no longer will reconnect.
    Any one else had this, got a fix or an update on the issue?
    thanks

    I found out today that when you turn off the GPS Enhancer (in TomTom go to Settings/Advanced/GPS Enhancer) the phone does not get so hot anymore and it actually charges in the car.
    So from my short test, the GPS Enhancer seems to be the culprit.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204387 Issue with TomTom Car Kit

    I've got a 4th Gen iPod touch.  And I've been using the TOMTOM navagation app and the TOMTOM car kit docking station/GPS.  In the last week, I suddenly started receiving a message on screen
    This Accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch
    It was and now it suddenly isn't?  Why and how do I get this back to properly working again.
    I have followed all of the suggestion from TOMTOM, reset the iPod, deleted and reinstalled the apps, several times now.  The software works other than it no longer works with the Dock (car kit).
    Anybody else have this problem, or had it and fixed?  TOMTOM seems to think it's a problem from Apple.
    Thanks
    Since writing this, I have upgraded to IOS 6.0.1 on my Touch.  Since doing this I have lost all connectivity to any periferal device that goes through the dock/power connector.  Audio that used to go through doesn't, Navigation that used to go through doesn't. IR remote signals that used to go through don't.  All come back with the "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPod Touch" now. 
    I have tried this with my Touch 3rd gen as well, to the same degree of success.  It doesn't work with external devices. 
    So I tried a new approach, the TOMTOM Bluetooth GPS transmitter, this works with all my other computers just fine, specially my MacBook Pro.  But I find it will not pair with any of my Touch's. 
    Anybody have any success with getting a bluetooth GPS to pair and work with any of the Touch's mapping/navigation software?

  • Why is my ipod in not working with my car stereo?

    i have the stereo hooked up and everything but my ipod doesnt work with the stereo, but my ipod nano works fine with it. i dont understand what its wrong.

    Like I said, the Classic doesn't seem to work with many car head units and other 3rd party accessories (something to do with the way Apple have changed the way an iPod recognizes and interacts with these accessories).
    Have a look at some of the other threads here that also discuss this.
    You would be better off contacting the maker of the car stereos.

  • 9630 does not connect with Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone

    Whenever I try to make a call with my Motorola T215 Car Kit Speakerphone, my BlackBerry 9630 Tour "smart"phone says, Connection to Motorola T215 failed.  I have followed the pairing instructions that came with the car kit precisely and repeatedly, but still get the same result.  To add even more enjoyment to my experience, my connection with the Bluetooth device seems to go on and off as it pleases.  I figure the only way to put an end to this issue is to smash it with a hammer, but if you know of another solution, I would appreciate it.  My carrier is Sprint, and OS version is 4.2.0.285. 

    The first thing I would suggest doing it running an upgrade on your device software. To do this you will need your USB cord and access to the internet.
    Go to: www.blackberry.com/update and then follow the prompts to update your device software.
    This should back up your device data automatically, but to be save incase of any situation that may arise do a backup of your device through the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
    Once the update is done, test the Bluetooth connection.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 5 not working with car USB after iOS8.2 update

    Hi,
    After upgrading my iPhone 5 (32GB, 8.9GB free, model MD299PP/A) to iOS 8.2 (12D508), it doesn't work as usual when connecting to my car's USB port. Before upgrade, I can still see the track names or podcast info in my car stereo display, and can use the navigation controls to select songs. Now, my car stereo display says "iPod NO MUSIC" or "iPod ERROR READING", and can't use the nav controls, although the sound is still coming out of the car speakers.
    The above error is seen on my Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6G, so I tried it in my Ford Fiesta 1.5 Sports. Same problem, the dashboard says that "ERROR READING FILE".
    I then connected my iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3), and it works well with both cars.

    Howdy emoy81,
    It sounds like you upated your iOS device to 8.2 and now you are unable to listen to your iPhone through your car due to this error message. I would recommend usin these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    Get help using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your car stereo
    Troubleshooting tips
    Try these troubleshooting tips.
    Beginning playback and controlling music
    Some car stereos might require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
    When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you might notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.Disconnect and restart
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.Isolate the issue
    Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
    For example, if you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • IPhone 4 not working in docks/car stereo anymore...

    Hi guys,
    I've done a lot of searching and it seems I'm not along with this issue, although none of the previous solutions have worked for me.
    My iPhone 4 (os6) has recently stopped working with docks - in that, it'll charge but now allow any music playack, all of a sudden
    This is a major problem for me as it also means it no longer works in conjunction with my car stereo!
    So far I have;
    -: cleaned the dock connector on the iPhone and on the car lead
    -: tried different iPhones in my car (with the same setup - 4 + os6) in my car and they work fine
    -: tried resetting and restoring my iPhone from backup, twice
    -: tried the iPhone in different docks at home with no luck
    Any idea why this is happening? Any suggestions?

    Hey guys.
    I have an alpine W404 deck. It exhibited the problems you mentioned on this thread. The only way I was able to fix the problem was to do the following:
    1) If you have an iphone. Backup all contacts, notes, emails and calendar to your MAC or mobileme as this process will wipe all of the data and apps from the device. Regardless of type, backup ALL apps to itunes. Perform a FULL sync.
    2) Connect the idevice to your machine and launch itunes.
    3) Click on restore to factory settings in itunes.
    4) When it asks you if you wish to use the settings backup. ANSWER NO.
    5) Once this is completely performed. Sync your iphone back up with mail, apps etc etc etc.
    VERY IMPORTANT!
    6) Once you are satisfied that all is back to normal with your idevice, bring it to your car and press and HOLD BOTH the off switch and the main (Square) button simutaneously...keep it held down even when the slider to switch off the device shows up. Once the screen is completely black. Turn it back on and connect it to your deck.
    PRESTO.
    It works.
    Hope this helps,
    Have a great day!

  • Iphone 4 not working with iOS 6, Iphone 4 not working with iOS 6

    iOS 6 is not working on my iPhone 4. When the update/restore finishes it gives me the (-1) error and cannot finish the update. Please help.

    Hey.. I have had this issue since yesterday afternoon.. Some people are saying to keep restoring again and again until it finally goes through.. I have done so like 10 times on my MAC and then I used my husband's PC and tried it 4 times.. No success.. I called apple support, but no help came from there at the end, and the only thing they were able to suggest to me is to sell me a new phone just like mine for a discounted price.. **** NO
    Anyways after about 18h of search and stress I came across this link:
    http://techglobex.blogspot.com/2012/06/downgrade-from-ios-6-beta-firmware-to.htm l
    That will only make it possibe to go backward.. You will end up back with the IOS 5, but at least you will have a working phone and it will bring back all your contacts and everything else that you ever had backed up on icloud and on your computer. There might be descripencies with the Applications but again this is an issue easily solved, you can always download them back.
    Two more things: One, you do not have to download the old version of the itunes, the newest version worked for me without any issues
    When choosing to download the older IOS 5.1.1, you will need to figure out whether your carrier is GSM or CDMA but you can easily google this info online..
    Well hope that will work for you like it did for me

  • IPod Mini not working with new car stereo

    I just got a 2007 Sienna in which the audio system includes an AUX port for connecting to my iPod. However, when I connect the two (using a RadioShack Gold Series audio dubbing cable recommended by RadioShack), nothing happens. My iPod is not locked, and it works with headphones and also through the FM transmitter (although the latter not very well at all).
    Is there an iPod setting that I am missing? Do I have the wrong cable? Is there a problem with my car's audio system?
    Any advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Doh. Never mind. I just figured out it was a volume problem.
