Iphone4 car connection trouble

Hi everyone:
Just got a verizon iphone4 and am having trouble connecting it via aux in my car. Sounds easy enough, but for some reason when plugged in the iphone only plays music from its own speakers and not via the car speakers. Bought a new griffin aux cable and everything. Is there a setting on the iphone that it should be on?
Thanks!

Me too. I have a 2000 528i with a bluetooth kit from Bimmernav. My car has the DSP stereo but not Navigation.
My iPhone 3G, once paired, worked perfectly for both sending and receiving calls, up through and including software version 3.1.
Now that I've paired my iPhone 3G(S) sound seems to drop in and out during the call. It works a little better if I turn off Wi-Fi and/or 3G network while in the car, but it seems to me the Bluetooth should be able to handle that without the hassle of having to manually disable those every time I get in the car. The fact that the iPhone 3G worked fine tells me that the car system is not the culprit, here; it must be either the iPhone 3G(S) or the latest software update, or a combination of the two.
Have you tried disabling Wi-Fi and/or 3G network? Seems like that at least might provide more info.

I have an AT&T contracted iphone 5. Cannot send mms to anyone but other iPhone users. If you search the Internet, you'll see that the problem is everywhere...both the carriers and Apple are actling like the problem belongs to the other, or feigning any knowledge (which is kind of funny since the no MMS thing was in an ios6 beta that was released awhile ago, so I KNOW apple knows about it). No, I'm not running a beta (obviously, I just got my iphone 5). Awesome. Have a great camera on this thing, but cannot send OR receive MMS from anyone other than other iphone users. Gotta love it.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected. does the same with itunes. Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting. It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync. Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

Make sure you're updated to iOS 6.0.2, I know that has had something to do with Wi-Fi for a lot of people.

Since upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 docks and car connection stopped working

Since I upgraded my iPhone last night, my iHome dock, Philips dock and BMW car connection are failing. When connecting the phone to the docks I get a "This accessory not supported" message on the phone and when I hook it up in the car the car display plays music but is stuck on displaying only the name of the first song and doesn't change when moving from one song to another.

Exactly the same. Upgraded to 5.1.1. Now docking port on BMW X5 2009 has stopped working completely...flashes back and forth on the screen "audio accessory connected" to the album covers, 1-2 times per second. Absolutely no music. The car no longer sees the phone. Bluetooth voicecalls work fine.
Also, "accessory not supported" flashes constantly on my Bose stero dock. If I repeatedly plug in the phone I can get it to work 1/2 the time.
iphone that can't play music......great. How was this missed on QA?
Anyone know Tim Cook's email??

Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC)

MirrorLink™ is a recently introduced standard for connecting smartphone devices to vehicle-based infotainment systems. It is a cross-industry solution supported by leading automotive manufacturers, system suppliers, consumer electronics manufacturers and handset manufacturers as part of the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC). MirrorLink™ offers seamless and convenient use of smartphone-based applications such as navigation, music playback and other entertainment and communication apps.
Hopefully Apple will also join the CCC - This way we'll hopefully be able to intergate our iPhones and iPads etc. with Car Audio head Units that support MirrorLink http://www.mirrorlink.com/news-and-events/press-releases/ccc-tagline-contest.htm l.
For instance the Alpine ICS-X8 http://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/bluetooth-and-usb8/ics-x8_23559 and ICS-X7 supports MirrorLink. Mobile phones from Nokia and also the Samsung Galaxy S3 already supports MirrorLink.
Come on Apple please join the CCC!

Same here. 2011 Jetta SE with MDI iPod adapter cable, when I connect the iPhone (4), the stereo display shows that it's playing, but no audio is heard. So far when I disconnect it and reconnect a second time, no problem. It's a bit annoying. Also, shouldn't A2DP Bluetooth streaming work? I see it as an option in the Media menu, but it's greyed out. I have a feeling only the Jetta SEL supports this? If so, that's a bit of a disappointment.

My iphone4s is having trouble staying connected to my car's bluetooth

my phone is connected to my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe but it loses the connection often. Is this a known issue? Hyundai says it is not them but a problem with apple. What can you tell me?

Delete the pairing from both systems, reboot the phone and shut off the car for 5 minutes to re-boot the in car system. Then re-pair them. My wife and I have had no issues with our 2010 and 2011 Kia's, which use the same head units. If you have the nav system, the process to re-boot may be different. Check the owners manual.

Does ios6 resolve iphone4s Bluetooth connectivity problems with Clarion car stereos?

Clarion cx609 and iPhone 4s don not seem to be compatible. It pairs momentarily and the disconnects, or will not auto connect after car is turned off and restarted. Is this an A2DP issue with IP4s? So frustrated, this seems like a simple thing. Supposed to be plug and play right?
Any help would be great.

I have a similar issue and Apple is completely ignoring it.

IPod and iPhone4 not connecting to iTunes?

When I connect either my iPod Touch (1st Gen) or iPhone4 iTunes does not recognize it as a device and my computer thinks they are both just cameras. I just recently installed iTunes 10 and this whole problem started at that time. I've tried repairing iTunes but nothing happens. The only thing I can think of doing would be uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes once again. Is there a way to change the settings instead of reinstalling so both come up on iTunes?

Figured out the problem - the USB cable I was using would charge but not connect for some reason. Borrowed an official one from a friend and it connected without a problem. The one I got was from Belkin - I'm surprised it didn't work. Maybe it was just damaged, who knows. Anyway, sorry for the trouble and feel free to delete this topic. Although, the Apple help page for troubleshooting connectivity issues should mention using a different USB cable.

IPhone Car connection - pairing issues

I have bought a new iPhone4s. The phone pairs ok with my Car Stereo System. It does however loose the connection everytime the radio or the car gets turned off and requires re-entering the complete pairing process (including password). Does anybody have a similar problem ? Any ideas for a solution ? (My previous iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 were perfectly paired and kept the connection over a long time).

You don't. The iPhone has NEVER paired with computers except for the purpose of tethering.

IPhone4 wifi connection not working

my iphone4 now no longer connects to the home wifi network or any other wireless network (so all data is provided trough 3G!!)
It picks up the wifi signal (the network is shown with a check/tick mark next to it) but the phone does not connect.
I have "forgotten network" "reset network settings" carried out a "full restore" and reset the phone to factory and still nothing....
When comparing to my girlfriend iPhone4 which has had firmware upgrade as well at the same time (exactly same phone purchased at same time) and yet seems to work no problems there is data missing in the "network settings" such at router.
Also the iPhone3Gs, MacBook Pro, Compaq etc in the house have no problems.
is it a hardware fault???

Is it a hardware fault???
Could be. The phone comes with a one year warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store. If your phone is determined to be faulty, it will be replaced on the spot.

IPhone 4 Car Connection (USA Spec Intergration) And Docking

Hi,
I'm likely going to be getting the new iPhone 4 when it rolls out on Verizon. First off, please don't tell me how big of a mistake I'm making and alike. AT&T is terrible in my area, and most of the people I talk to (work or friends) have Verizon. If I hear anything about a future iPhone for LTE, then I may rethink, but as it sits, I'll be getting one in February. Data use during a call isn’t a major issue for me, nor is FaceTime… but I do have Wi-Fi connections at home and at work, if need be.
Currently, I have a first generation iPod Touch (16GB, with the current OS that I really cannot remember off the top of my head) which I use in my 2002 Impala with a USA-Spec interface. It is a 3G version, which I've had ever since it came out. Anyways, I saw that they have an iPhone 4 version, so I will likely have to swap the box out when I move to it... which is easy due to where I mount it. All the wires are ran, so it is just unplug and swap.
My question is if anyone has that setup with their iPhone 4, and if so, how does it work in your car? My main thing is music, since I mainly use my iPod strictly as a music library for my car. With the iPhone, I’m hoping to eliminate carrying a phone, as well. From how I read it on USA-Spec’s website, the music will mute and you will hear a ring through the speakers… when you answer, the speakers cut and you use it just like a regular phone. I’m sure that this is a small group of people, but if someone does have this setup, would a Bluetooth headset work? I’m actually emailing USA-Spec about this, but wanted input if there are actual users.
I also have a HMDX dock that I use sometimes to listen to my iPod when doing reports or whatever else for work. I kind of remember it being compatible for the iPhone, but not completely sure on that. Anyways, it just charges and plays music over a speaker… so it should work with the iPhone 4 with the correct adaptor, correct? If I can get away with it, I’d like to use it for charging when I’m at work… then get another one for home.
Thanks,
-John

@SH.
I am sorry you are having this problem. Sure it's convenience, but it is very helpful. I, too, had this problem at first in my car...worked perfectly with 3G, but same problems with 4. Then, when I did get a connection, the audio was terrible. Before, people could hardly tell I was using the car bluetooth..now they ask me to go back to the handset.
Every car system is different and I understand that but what I had to do and what worked was that I got my old 3G phone back in and then with it in the car, I disconnected the device within the iPhone 3G, then in the car system, I had it 'remove paired phone'.
Then, I synched my 4phone from back up and then paired the phone by making the 4 discoverable and having the car system find it...
And all has been well since then.
I hope that works. I would also try calling your car manufacturer and see if there needs to be an update..I had to update my system when I got the 3G...
Otherwise, you may indeed have a defective phone.
Good luck.

AV Cable Connection Troubles

I just received the ibook AV Cable (plugs into headphone port at one end and has red, yellow and white connectors at the other) for Christmas and was very excited to start using it but I am having troubles connecting it. I connected it to my vcr (my tv doesn't have the red, yellow and white ports needed), set the vcr to "line in" and then connected it to my ibooks headphone port... but... all I got was the audio. I feel as though I should be telling my ibook to change displays? but I tried going into the display setting under system preferences and I got nothing. The package of the cable is totally void of any instructions, so if anyone has any suggestions I will be forever greatful!

Good Evening:
After reading your post about your AV worries i thought i would give you a little info on how the Video Out works with your ibook G4. The ibook G4 comes with a built-in Mini-VGA port. The device that is needed to connect to this port is as follows:-
Apple Video Adapter
Use a video adapter cable to connect the mini-VGA video output port on your iBook, eMac, or iMac G5 to any S-video or Composite enabled device.
The Apple Video Adapter was specially designed to allow users to connect to S-video or composite video devices. The video adapter cable plugs into the video output port (mini-VGA) built into the back of the computers listed in the compatibility section below. The video output port supports VGA, S-Video, and Composite video out. Use the Apple Video Adapter for S-Video or Composite video output only (connect to your TV, VCR, or overhead projector's S-Video or RCA (composite) cable). Use a separate Apple VGA Adapter for VGA video out.
Compatible With:
iBook without an external reset button, eMac, iMac G5, or 17-inch iMac (1GHz) with mini-VGA port.
Part Number:- M9109G/A

Bluetooth (in-car) connection, following upgrade.

Hi folks,
I've recently moved to a Q10, which was fine overall. Just updated to 10.2.1.2102, as I thought it would be o.k. but now I cannot to get the phone to automatically connect with the car when re-starting. It's a Mercedes. Prior to the update, all was fine. Anybody else had similar issues?
Is it possible to 'back out' the upgrade?

Update: Vodafone now refer me to Blackberry and even provided a number for me, which (because I'm not their customer) further referred me to their 'complimentary support service'...their website.
To be fair, some digging around revealed:
http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/viewdocument.do;jsessionid=D0429A4745A2C6D4AA1D867C7312A7AC?...
Now I have no time, nor desire, to get into a philosophical debate, as to whether this is BB's or MB's problem, other than to say it worked fine before BB changed it.
I'm off to buy a couple of can of beans and a roll of string <hashtag ffs>
