IPod and JVC Car Stereo random resetting problem

Hey all,
I recently bought my first iPod (yay!), a 30gig 5th generation. I also had a JVC KD-PDR30 cd player installed in my car so that I could hook up the iPod to it and eliminate all the random cds cluttering up my vehicle. It works great -- most of the time... the last few days I've my iPod has been randomly resetting itself while connected to the car stereo -- it's connected through the dock port (not the headphone jack) and works 90% of the time. Even still, this is frustrating. I almost want to just connect it from the headphone jack to the aux in on the car stereo. Anyway, it only seems to do this while it is connected to the car stereo. I've never had a problem with the iPod resetting while using it outside of the car. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Apple community!!!

I had the JVC radio with iPod connector which worked just fine for my old iPod. When I upgraded to the iTouch I had to put in a new JVC stereo. The old version does not work with the iTouch (the same issues prev. stated). The new stereo has an USB hookup on the front. It plays the iTouch, but occas. the song or book will skip. At first I thought it was when I turned corners, but realized it was just random. A bit annoying. I looked at other stereos, but I could not get the iTouch and Sirus in the same unit, except for the JVC. If you can live without your iTouch I would wait until JVC or Apple address this issue. I could not live without either (I hate commercials!), so I made the jump to the first generation. I know better.

Deperately need help with my iPod and Pioneer Car Stereo

I just bought Pioneer's newest deck from Best Buy. The Model number of the deck is DEH-P6800MP. It has a mini jack (2.5 mm stereo jack) on the front of the deck that you can plug your iPod into. I purchased the little adaptor that allows me to just plug the iPod in using the Headphone Jack. It works great. I can use my click wheel to navigate the menus and the sound is awesome...except for one thing, it only plays through the right side speakers. I thought maybe the Fader needed to be adjusted on the deck but everything is dead center. I thought maybe something was wrong with the deck but the Tuner and CD player both work perfectly. I even tried using different cables with no success. When I called Best Buy they told me they were familiar with the problem and to download the newest software for my iPod and it should fix it. It didn't! I am so frustrated by this. I paid alot of money for this deck thinking I wouldn't have to buy any additional interfaces and would never have to deal with an FM transmitter again. Can anybody help?

After plugging my walkman in and experiencing the same problem, I figured it must be the adaptor. I went to the local Radio Shack and picked up a mini-jack adaptor that was indeed Stereo. Thankfully it worked!!! I can't tell you how happy my family and I are to have all our music available in the family vehicle. Thanks for your help and @#$% Best Buy for selling me not one but two car stereos under the false pretense that I wouldn't need anything else to hook-up my iPod and then not having any idea how to help me when I needed it.

JVC car stereo won't recognize Ipod Nano

In 2006 my husband bought me a JVC car stereo with a USB port. So, a couple months ago, I finally went and bought a new Ipod Nano. When I plug the Ipod into the stereo, it says "READ FAIL" on the stereo screen. I went to BestBuy thinking I needed a different cord or something, but they told me it was a problem with new Ipods. The technician even went and got his older Ipod and plugged it in and it worked great. I contacted JVC, but they were no help at all. Can anyone help me? I am so frustrated!

If other iPod plays on your JVC, then it is nothing wrong with JVC.
It is either your Nano having a problem or it is not compatible with your JVC.
See update your Nano to the latest version helps (do a restore for your Nano on your computer).
If still does not solve then send your Nano for service if it nothing relates to the compatible issue.

TS1702 why does my iphone 5s not display apps to my jvc car stereo, when the same apps work with my 4s?

why does my iphone 5s not displaying apps on my jvc car stereo. these apps worked with my iphone 4s?

Blackberries were designed at a time when cellular data was very expensive. They don't do nearly as much as an iPhone, in part, to conserve data use. All modern smartphones will use more data than a Blackberry unless you do almost nothing.
You do not need to quite apps. Almost no apps run in the background.
Here are Apple's tips on iPhone battery use:

If you are really only getting an hour of battery usage and not just engaging in hyperbole (), you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

Does playing my ipod on the car stereo with USB hurt the battery of the ipod?

Just curious if when playing the ipod on the car stereo using the usb plugged into the stereo unit will cause the battery life to shorten since it is seems to be charging the ipod. Or does the ipod have a regulator that stops the charging once the battery is full?

Thank you for the info. I must have gotten a bad ipod, because I only had it for a month and the battery would drain down overnight even with the wifi and bluetooth off. I play it on my stereo unit hooked up with the USB. I didn't think that by doing that it would mess up the battery and cause it to drain quickly in just a month.

Connecting my iPod to my car stereo

I am trying to find out the best way to connect my iPod to my car stereo. I know that there are lots of different ways. I have heard that if it is connected to a 3.5mm jack on the front of a car stereo and then into the headphone jack on the iPod it makes the sound quality inferior. I have seen USB ports on the front of stereo's and have also seen leads with ipod dock to 2 RCA leads which connect to the rear of the stereo, therefore making a more permanent fix. Which of these is best? I am happy to take the stereo out although i think that maybe it would be easier to buy a stereo with a front USB connector. Will this give good sound reproduction, and if so can i use the white usb lead which comes with iPods??? Please help.

You can find my car stereos that are ipod compatible.
Personally, I have an Alpine deck with an additional ipod adaptor which is hidden behind the dash and is accessable via the glovebox. The ipod adaptor is connected to the ipod through the dock connection enabling you to fully contral and access your ipod through the car stero while your ipod remains neatly tucked away (and hidden) in your glovebox. I believe they sell stereo head units that do not require and additional ipod adaptor... do a little research and I'm sure you can find something in your price range.
Also, to answer your first question, you shouldn't lose any sound qaulity if your car setup is done this way.

How to play my ipod thru my car stereo?

I have a fourth gen. Nano and can't seem to find a device so I can play my iPod thru my car stereo. Is there one for the 4th gen. Nano I don't have a plug in and am looking for a wireless device?

You can convert songs by using the iTunes Advanced menu -> Create XXX Version. What type of version is controlled by the encoder selected in the iTunes Preferences -> General pane. Click on the "Import Settings" button to change.
When you use this, you will get an MP3 copy of each song you convert. You can find them in your library by sorting by the "kind" column and searching for "MPEG audio File".

Nano and Alpine Car Stereos

Took my Nano to my local independent car stereo installer this afternoon - I wanted to see what options gave me better sound than the FM modulators.
Excuse me if you all already know this, but Alpine's new head units and their iPod adapter work with the Nano - offering total control of your nano from the car stereo face. Song title and artist are displayed on the car stereo screen. And the Alpine iPod adapter even charges the Nano while attached.
I mean, the shop owner asked me for my Nano. He plugged it into the Alpine iPod interface. And within three or four ceconds, there was my first cut off my iPod! The car stereo displayed my iPod's name. And then (if I remember correctly) the song title - then the album name.
I was immediately sold. I chose the Alpine CDA-9851 head unit, plus the iPod adapter. Due to the fact that my Ford's original stereo was "double-DIN" in height, I will "gain" a little felt-lined shelf under this new Alpine - to hold the Nano, of course!
It all gets installed this Saturday! I'll report back after playing with it for a few hours.

There are plenty of options out there, and buying into the "brand name experience" is one of them. The benefits of your choice is that you have full control through the stereo itself (and possibly the steering wheel). Other options are less costly, but require manual control via the iPod.
Have fun!

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

Ipod nano 7th gen - downloaded music using itunes (mac) and have now discovered it won't play on my JVC car stereo.

It says it can't read the files and when I looked up the car stereo manual it says it won't read any files not done on windows media. Is there any easy solutions around this? as it was purchased solely for use with the car stereo... :-(

If you want to make song files from your iTunes library available on your car audio system, and it connects using a USB port, a new iPod nano is a very expensive way to do it. If that's the only reason for getting the iPod nano, you should return it and get a cheap 8 or 16GB USB flash drive instead, which costs less than $20. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port.

You can then leave it connected in the car all the time, except for when you want to update the songs. An iPod is more fragile (especially screen and battery), and you'll have to always remember to remove it, in case the car overheats or freezes. It would also be a target for thieves.
For the audio file format, I can't believe any car audio system would ONLY play Window Media files, and not the most common type of audio files, MP3. Songs purchased from the iTunes Store, and those ripped from music CD (using the default settings), are in AAC format. It's possible the car system does not play AAC. So, I would try songs from your iTunes library that are in MP3 format.
You can use iTunes to convert songs from AAC (or any iTunes supported format) to MP3. So, if MP3 works, and you need details on how to convert audio format using iTunes, please post back. You cannot convert to WMA format (which is Windows Media audio) using iTunes.

Hooking up my ipod to my jvc car stereo

I have hooked up my ipod to my deck and all i get from my deck if the word check that just flashes. My ipod starts to recharge the battery. When i disconnect the ipod my deck then says no ipod. I have hooked another ipod to my deck and it works fine. I have also reseted and reformatted my ipod and it still will not sync with my deck what do i need to do to fix this problem. also my ipod works fine other than not syncing with my deck.

Who installed the car stereo? If you don't know the installer I would take car and iPod into Car Tunes or other 'Reputable' car audio installer and have it set up in proper working order. It may mean getting another new stereo but there is only one way to do this and that is to get it done right.
Hard, but I've found no other way around this type of problem than to hand out the cash to get it fixed.

Iphone 3g and Panasonic car stereo problems

Hi,
I have an iphone 3g and a Panasonic CQ-RX400U car stereo. The stereo has a front-panel USB port. I've been using the cable that came with the phone to connect to the stereo and everything has been working great. All of the stereo's iPod controls handled navigation through the iPhone perfectly, and the unit muted when a call came in, etc...
Just today though, it stopped working. The stereo gets stuck, alternating between "READING" and "PAUSE" with no playback. Nothing I tried has worked. I think this may have been the first time I've tried to connect since I upgraded to 2.1 on the phone.
Any ideas or similar experiences? Thanks for helping!

Well
I did some more tests on some of my other buds Iphones
The 2.1 Operating System is definitely the culpret.
Everyone First Gen Iphone and Iphone 3G I tried that had ver 1.xx and 2.xx worked below version 2.1
So, I hope apple fixes this and we get some help bud, cause they screwed something up bigtime when they upgraded the OS.
Hopefully we will have a answer tomorrow when everything opens again. Very disappointed in Apple.
Some of my friends won't even touch the new update since they got their phones because they are afraid the 2.1 will kill their accessories usage in there other brands of USB Decks they just bought for their cars over the past few months.
I strongly agree with them at this time not to Upgrade, whether it fixes stuff or not, would rather sacrifice features and fixes than spent more money on the **** accessories.
Very disappointed that Apple can kill off accessories like this and wonder why people are switching phones due to the cost of accessories that work and die with these new iphones.
We wait here patiently apple for you to reply and see whats causing this stupid error.
THANKS

Ipod Nano 2nd Generation 8G and a car stereo

I want to play my ipod 2nd generation 8G through my car stereo via a FM transmitter.
Anyone got any suggestions as to the best make for this? - The ones on the apple web site do not appear to be compatible with my old (?) ipod.

Apple claims the playback time is up to 24 hours, and that's not written in stone and depends on how you use the iPod.

Why is it that when I connect my iPod to my car stereo through USB, some of the songs don't appear and play when these songs are on my playlist normally?

Hello all
This has been bugging me for a little while. I bought myself a new bluray player awhile back and it has a USB hookup for ipods. This goes the same with my vehicle too. I have a few good playlists with some great songs, however, when i hooked it up to my bluray player, some of the songs didn't appear in the playlist that are not normally there. I disconnected the ipod and had a look on the screen and sure enough the songs are there, but they are just not appearing on the bluray player. This only happens for some songs, not all of them. I was disappointed at this because I really wanted to hear my songs. So I decided to download the WHOLE album off of itunes from which I got the song from and sure enough, this time the song appeared on my bluray player and it played in the playlist.
Why is this? Is there a way to make it so that I can have all the songs play without downloading all of the albums?

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store
