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.

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.

ios 8.3 update, now phone can't connect to car stereo

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!

if it have a tape deck you can use the 3.5mm jack to take adaptor

Does apple make a product to connect an iphone 4 to a car stereo

Does Apple make a product to connect the Iphone 4 to a car stereo?

I don't think Apple makes anything aside from the usual "aux" cables discussed above, but I've had good luck with a Motorola T505. It's a small device that you clip on your car's visor. It pairs to the iPhone via Bluetooth, then transmits the output to an open FM frequency that you tune in on your car stereo. So you can play music from your phone thru the car stereo, and it automatically pauses when you get an incoming call, you can carry on your phone conversation hands-free, then the music will resume once your call is completed. It's pretty neat.

Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either. I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update. Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told. Thank you for posting. I know now that I am not the only one. Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8. I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6. I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

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.

I am unable to pair my Iphone 4 with my car stereo or hands free device. It has worked in the past, recently stopped. Please advise. Thanks.

I am unable to pair my Iphone 4 with my car stereo or hands free device. It worked preveiously; please help.

The item that was previousl paired is no longer seen by the hands free unit.
The new system, car stereo and Iphone see each other, but do not pair.
Hope this makes more sense and you have a fix!!

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?

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 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.

HT1665 how can I connect my iphone 4S to my car stereo system?

I'd like to be able to listen to my itunes from my iphone 4s through my car sound system. Is there an accessory that I need for the connection? How do I do this?

any minijack to aux cable would work depending on your car sound system

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.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!

(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

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.
