My iPhone 5 stopped playing on my Kenwood car stereo after an update?

I have an older truck that I purchased from an individual who had upgraded the stereo to a Kenwood.
I was able to hook up my phone with a USB cord - my previous 3GS, and my current 5 and play my music through the receiver.
During one of the updates - Maybe to 7.0 - I lost the ability to maniplulate the music via the stereo control - the controls on the radio. Now, it just says "READING" and never works at all.
I've tried a network reset, to no effect - and I must say, the iPhone 5 is pretty danged finicky when hooking up the USB cord in general. I bought a couple of NON-Apple cords from ATT, and I have to plug and unplug it a few times to get the connection to take. I have the original USB cord that came with the phone, and IT takes some plug-and-unplug tries to get it to connect sometimes.
Any bug fixes from the Apple wizards?

Start by ensuring there is no lint or fluff in the lightning socket (solves most problems of this description )
If squeeky clean then restore as new and start again ,multiple updates on updates can have this effect

Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

Cannot play mp3 files in car stereo after upgrade 5.0.1

I upgraded to 5.0.1 a few weeks ago and just tried burning an mp3 cd to play on my Kenwood in my car. Befor the upgrade, no problems, now, nothing plays, just starts on track one, no title display and just plays silence for as long as I could scan forward, over 30 minutes!
And My Kenwood is less than a year old so it's not the player. And it will play in my dvd player but it took about 5 minutes before the disc loaded and started playing. All I know, is befor eth eupgrade it worked in my car, now it doesn't and really, iTunes is no good to me now!
Amyone have any suggestions? Found a fix?

Have you tried "FingerPrint" by "Collobos Software" at http://www.collobos.com
You can download the software free for evaluation, only costs $10.00 to purchase if it works for you.

IPhone 4 Won't connect to car radio after up updating to iOS 7

My iPhone 4 won't connect to my kenwood stereo after updating to iOS 7.

Why is my iPod touch not working with my car stereo after the update?

I updated to iOS 6 and now my iPod will not play when I plug into my car stereo with the USB port and cable. I am very frustrated!

You can try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
However, sometime an iOS update breaks compatibility. If that is the case you will have to wait for either the car manufacturer or Apple to issue a an update to correct the problem.

IPhone 4 no good in my car stereo after 4.2 Upgrade

So with the 4.1 upgrade my iPhone 4 started to produce jitter - a crackling skipping sound - with my Alpine head unit that is designed specifically to be used with iPods. It's the x001.
I had read on forums that the 4.2 beta fixed this issue. With 4.2.1 final out I now get nothing. Just an iPod error...
What's going on here?

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 no longer works with Pioneer AVIC-D3 car stereo after recent update

I've used my first gen iPhone with the iPod adapter/cable from my Pioneer AVIC-D3 since I first got it - and it's worked great. But after the recent update it doesn't work. I only get an "Error-11" message on the stereo screen when I plug the phone in. Anyone? This is really frustrating!
Thanks.

Nevermind. Did a hard reset of each and they work now. Odd...

Iphone not working on my Alpine car stereo after upgrade to 2.1

Any ideas about the problem.
Older ipod works fine.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You have no idea how frustrated I was last night. I couldn't figure out what the heck the problem was, but I'm having the same exact problem as you. I'm going to try this fix and see if it works.

IPhone 6 with iOs 8 and Kenwood car stereo

My new iPhone 6 (using iOs 8) will not work with my Kenwood car stereo correctly. It says the bluetooth is connected and tries to place a call but the calls are not connecting to the stereo. Is anyone else having this trouble and know how to fix it?
I tried forgetting the device (the stereo) and re-pairing, which caused the phone to randomly try to connect to nothing through the stereo.
Any ideas?

Does your stereo have a USB port, and if so, have you tried to connect via USB?
I'm having issues even with the USB on my Kenwood. Check out this post: iPhone 6 won't play with Kenwood stereo USB port. Help !!

IPhone stops playing Protected AAC songs

My iPhone stops playing songs in the middle. All the songs that stop are Protected AAC songs-old purchases. It happened on a 3G, and now on a new 4GS. They play fine on my computer. Sometimes it skips to the next song automatically, sometimes you can skip manually, occasionally it loses its way entirely. It's been happening for the last few months, but not too often in my library. It is perfectly repeatable for each song, down to the second it stops, but the timing varies by the song.

I actually have a song that plays back perfectly in iTunes. It also plays back fine when selecting the song on the iPhone through iTunes. However, when disconnecting the iPhone and playing it back just through the iPhone the song will distort after 16-17 seconds and skip to the next song. This doesn't happen however if I manullay skip the first 17 seconds of the song. It's a strange circumstance. I just decided to delete the song all together from my iPhone.

HT1689 My IPhone stopped playing any audio except the ringtone. Any ideas?

My IPhone stopped playing audio such as my music or applications with audio. The only sound it makes is the ringtone. I read some blogs where people said to plug in headphones and then unplug them. I tried that and actually had audio a couple of times but then it was gone again. Any ideas?

You could have dust, or a partical in the headphone port that is causing your phone to think there are headphones plugged in. Look into the port and gently blow it out if there is anything in it.

IPhone stops playing music

My iPhone stops playing music. It only happens and happens conistently on certain files, old Protected AAC files I bought from iTunes. It seems to happen mostly (or always) at the same time, one minute eight seconds in. I notice it most on Creedence Clearwater Revival Chronicle, but also on other music from the same era of my downloads. Sometimes you can just skip to the next song, sometimes it has lost its way worse. It happens on both my new iPhone 4S as well as my old 3GS.

They play fine on the computer, just not on the iPhone.

Kenwood Car Stereo iPod Interface

I have a Kenwood Car Stereo head unit and their iPod interface (KDC4531W and KCA IP500 respectively) which work really well.
Tonight I had to hard reset the iPod (via Menu and Play) to get the system to recognise the iPod following stopping and starting the car. The head unit displayed E-60 as the error code. I'm sure this isn't a deep sleep problem, unless the timer is set at less than an hour...
Following the reset it all worked OK...
Anyone else seen this? Anyone know what caused it?
(I've just downloaded iTunes 6 and am using iPod Software 3.1 in the iPod)
Thanks
Rob

Thanks Paul - at least I know its not me...
I'm going to try reformatting & syncing my iPod to see if that works.
I assume the IP500 will work with the new ipods - it certainly works with our Mini and 4G one. Suggest you email Kenwood support, they're really helpful!

My iphone 4s is being used on car stereo via usb port.

my iphone 4s is being used on car stereo via usb port on the old ios system it would play music and when you turned the the stereo off would play where you stopped it i have the settings in itunes on shuffle all and repeat all , since the update to iOs7 all it does now is return you to the first song in the A play list and not where you left it. i have even seen it happen was looking at screen and had song in middle of song and turn stereo on and hey presto back to the being of the A's.
it was fine until update has something changed in working of itunes on phone

Manual push and fetch will not use internet. The problem may lie with the new maps integration - it is constantly getting information wherever you are.
