IPhone music no longer plays in car

I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS4. For some reason (not sure if is since the most recent software update) music will no longer play via my Alpine car system (has connector cable). It displays a message saying the accessory is not compatible, but it always was before, and also my partner's iPhone 3G still plays in the car OK. It works fine as before with headphones or on my home surround sound system just not in the car. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks for the replies - yes, we are going to try resetting the Alpine unit and if this doesn't do it, wait for the next iPhone software update due in the next few days which I'm really hoping will rectify it. Will post again when there is any result.
It is very strange though, it worked fine even after updating to iOS4 months ago, and has only stopped working and displays "Error 01" in the last couple of weeks. I can still make and receive hands free calls via Bluetooth, just can't play music.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

  • HT1386 Some iTunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone 4s.

    Recently my Iphone (which I have had for almost a year with no issue) 4s filled its memory with "Other" and it was coded yellow on the status bar.... This "other" filled my entire 32 gig phone which didnt allow any other information to be stored.  I resynced my phone to factory settings to try and reset my phone.  Once I did that the "other" was gone but now a good portion of my itunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone. I dont have iTunes sharing so thats not the issue....My other iPhone 4s is fine and all music plays ok....

    Try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then back on.

    This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they  therefore respond
    So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
    try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

  • Songs on ipod in my iphone will no longer play in my car since 1.1.3 upgrad

    THE RADIO IN MY TRUCK IS IPOD COMPATABLE, IT HAS AN AUDIO VIDEO CABLE THAT COMES OUT OF IT THAT I PLUG INTO MY IPHONE TO PLAY ALL OF THE MUSIC OFF OF MY IPHONE ON MY CAR STEREO. ALTHOUGH THE RADIO IS DESIGNED TO WORK WITH IPOD AND NOT IPHONE, IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE PHONE. NOW THAT I UPGRADED TO THE NEWEST VERSION FOR IPHONE (1.1.3), THE MUSIC WILL NOT PLAY ON MY RADIO ANYMORE. THE PLAY LIST STILL SHOWS UP ON MY RADIO, HOWEVER THERE IS NO SOUND. MY PHONE NOW DISPLAYS A MESSAGE SAYING THAT IT IS ATTACHED TO A DEVICE THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IPHONE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO MAKE THIS CURRENT SOFTWARE VERSION PLAY MUSIC ON MY CAR RADIO? OR WILL THERE BE A SOFTWARE UPGRADE IN THE NEAR FUTURE THAT WILL REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I DONT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN IPOD AND AND IPHONE IF THERE IS ALREADY AN IPOD IN MY IPHONE. PLEASE HELP.

    i had the same problem after i updated my iphone yesterday. today the phone did not wanna play any songs that i downloaded from i-tunes. the song i copied from my cds worked fine. i connected my laptop to the internet and played some songs from itunes and synchronized my phone after that.
    that seemed to have solved the problem. i can play all my song again

  • IPhone 4 no longer playing music in dock

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4 has stopped playing music through any of my Apple docks. My friends iPhone 3 plays music through the same docks ok so the problem doesn't lie with them. My iPhone 4 charges in the dock Ok but just doesn't play music. I suspect this could be related to a recent IOS upgrade - I'm currently on 5.1
    Has anyone else experienced this or know of a solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi hockeymom11!
    So it looks like you have a couple of issues here, let me address them individually. If you have a backup in either iTunes or iCloud, you will want to apply that backup to your iPhone in order to get your contacts back. The article informing you on restoring from your backup can be found here:
    iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521
    As far as the songs go, you will probably want to try deleting all of the songs off of your phone and resyncing them onto your iPhone.
    The car stereo issue is a little more intricate, and has a whole article to itself outlining troubleshooting steps. You can find that article right here:

  • Iphone 6 no longer plays music/photos to my Denon Receiver/Sony TV

    On my iPhone 4 (still on IOS 7) I was able to play music directly to my Denon AVR.  I could also show pictures on my Sony TV.
    Last night I tested this with my iPhone 6, not sure if its the phone or IOS 8, but it was unable to do either of these things.  The devices simply never showed up in the list of options, I just saw things like email or facebook etc. where normally the connected device list would be below.   I had to go back and use my iPhone 4 to share some pictures and music.
    Anyone know if this is functionality that I can get back?  I'm not sure why it would regress like this from working to not working, but that's something I used fairly often and am hoping I can still do it.

    Did everything you suggested.  No change.  Still charges the Iphone, but will not play music on either the Sony dock station or my other dock station.  The fact that the Iphone quit playing music on both dock stations on the same day, makes me wonder if the issue is with the Iphone.  Took it to the local Apple store and they say the problem has to be with Sony.  With all of the other folks experiencing similar issues, there seems to be intermittent compatibility issues between Iphones and some devices, but Apple says it is not their problem.

  • 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?

  • Since upgrade, unpurchased songs no longer playing in car.  Skips to purchased songs only.  Anything I can do?

    Any help greatly appreciated.  Years ago I downloaded some music and have been playing it for some time.  Car, computer everywhere.
    Now since doing the upgrade in October I can no longer play this music that was not purchased, just downloaded.
    Skips ahead and will play only purchased songs.
    Anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks very much

    I completely agree with you on it not being easy to get a list of purchases from account info. It's completely ridiculous that one can't cut/paste from that list. If you happen to have saved the confirmation emails, you can at least cut/paste from those.
    itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback
    If enough people ask for it, maybe they'll change it on the account info page.
    let's back up, though...are you putting these songs back into itunes after a PC reformat?
    One thing to do, create a smart playlist with criteria "kind contains protected". Select all items in that smart playlist, and drag it to the green purchased playlist. Press the Skip button if you see it, so you won't get duplicates. That will add all newer itunes-plus purchased songs.
    Then change that smart playlist criteria to "kind contains protected". That will add older non-plus songs.

  • Why is my music no longer playing on my phone after iOS7 update?

    I updated my phone to iOS7 (yay!) but now the majority of my music will not play on my my phone.  The music plays on my computer just fine, but doesn't appear to sync to my phone now.  This is how my 32 gig phone now appears on iTunes:
    It's filled to the correct levels... but says I have half of my phone free.  Which I don't.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Susie

    I just found this and it seems to be working.
    ChrisJ4203 said "Is the Apple ID you are signed into the phone with the same as the Apple ID the music is with in iTunes? Can you try and sign out by going to Settings>iTunes and App Stores. Click on your Apple ID, select Sign out. Do a reset on the phone holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, then go back there and sign back in again. See if that helps."
    Seems to work! I actually have two different apple accounts for my phone and for my iTunes (when I got my phone the guy did not tell me how important it was to have one account!)
    So this may be the case for many people!

  • Iphone 4s no longer plays music in my car!

    Last week I lost all my contacts, they disappeared, everything else is in tact. I decided to do the upgrade that itunes asked for on my 4s, now I cant play any songs in my car when I plug my phone into usb. Worked perfectly fine before. Sometimes a song will play a bit and then just quit. The songs work fine when listening on itunes.I also noticed that when syncing a number of songs doubled on my playlists on my phone....any suggestions?

  • IPhone 3G no longer charges from car stereo

    Hello all,
    I can no longer charge my iPhone 3g from my car stereo since updating to version 2.1.
    I have a Panasonic CQ-RX400U with a USB connector on the front. Prior to the update I was able to connect and charge the phone and play the iPod from the stereo using the USB to iPod/iPhone cable. There was a compatibility warning on the iPhone when I did this, but it worked. After the update, the phone makes the initial charging sound, but never gets to the iPod, then repeatedly tries to connect without success and continuing t make the charging chirp sound.
    Just wondering if anyone experienced similar issues post 2.1 update.
    I'm going to ask Panasonic if the may have an update available as well, to correct the problem.
    Thanks,
    Bob Y.

    I'm afraid that the link is somewhat irrelevant to my problem.
    The problem is, that nothing happens whatsoever, when I connect my iphone to my computer. No charge, no nothing.
    I connected my fiances iphone to my computer and it charged, and itunes recognized it without any problem.
    However, I did try what the link suggested and nothing worked
