My Sony Xplod car stereo no longer operates my iphone.

I bought a Sony Xplod car stereo about a year ago. It's advertised to dock with the Iphone and for a year has done exactly that. Since the last iphone update though it no longer works correctly. I'm certain it's the iphone software not the stereo as that works fine. I've updated the phone, tried switching it off and back on, restored it, everything. Any suggestions?

His suggestion worked for me: turn off your car, completely shut-off your phone and let it sit a few minutes. Then reboot phone and start car and try again.
Good luck!

Plugging Zen up to a Sony Xplode car stereo

I have not done alot of research on the stereo in particular, but it is a newer one, and does have a stereo jack on the face of the cd player. I will check out the back and look up the instructions a little closer as soon as i find them.
What i wanted to know was what type of cable i would need to hook my Zen 4gb up to the Sony CD player And are they compatible Would it go through the stereo jack or maybe some RCA cables in the back
THX, Jerry.

You can use the AUX input in the front you just need a cable lik this one? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...oduct_id=97202

XPlod car adapter no longer works after installing OS 4.0

I have a Sony car stereo with the Xplod adapter that allows me to hook up my iPod to my stereo and control it from there. After the recent update to OS 4.0 this no longer works.
Now when I plug it in; the iPod stops playing sound through it's speaker, but I get no control through the Stereo and nothing plays. It just seems to freeze.
This has worked perfectly for 2years, and now it's dead. Anyone have any suggestions or fixes?

I had this same issue after upgrading to iOS 4.0. I could play my iPod touch to the xPLOD through the USB cable but could not control it with the xPLOD, and there were a few other issues too.
I tried the recommendation to power off the iPod Touch, then connect it to the xPLOD.
I pressed the top and home buttons until "slide to power off" appeared, which I did.
I connected the iPod Touch to the xPLOD and set the xPLOD source to USB.
The iPod started to wake up. The xPLOD timed out with a "No device found" message while the iPod was waking up.
When the iPod woke up, the xPLOD detected it and displayed "Reading device", then, everything worked fine.
YMMV...

Ever since I downloaded the iOS 6 update, my car stereo no longer works like it did before

My Pioneer car stereo worked exactly like it was supposed to with my iPhone 4s. By syncing to the car stereo, I could listen to all of my music on my iPhone and receive Pandora in the car. Since I downloaded the iOS 6 update two weeks ago, my car stereo has basically become inert, no longer syncs to my iPhone and has turned my expensive car stereo into a glorified CD player. I googled this problem first and noticed many other people had the exact same problem that I have. Since I can't undo the iOS 6 update (****, I wish I could), is there anyone out there with a similar problem and is there anything to remedy this problem. I will never download an Apple update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would love to see an update on issues like this.
I have the pioneer avh-3400bh. Prior to iOS6 on my iphone 4, everything worked as it should. Upon updating to ios6 on the 4, and now also with the iphone 5, my head unit will play BT audio, but it receives no track/data information. Using USB, I can no longer use my phone to browse songs, I can only use the head unit control. the phones tell me that an accessory is connected and won't allow me to do anything. Same for the pandora app

Car Stereo No Longer Recognizes iPhone after iOS 7.1 Update

I connect my iPhone to my car stereo with via USB (the stereo doesn't have bluetooth) and now after the iOS 7.1 update, it no longers works in my car. My stereo displays an error message of 'iPod err' when I connect it. I've used this same car stereo and USB cable to connect my iPhone for years without any issues, until the 7.1 update a couple days ago.
Anyone else having this issue? This is real frustrating.

Best in car stereo head unit compatible with iphone

Can anyone recommend a car stereo head unit for use with the iphone that basically streams the iphone music and calls through the car speakers. Surely there must be a usb and bluetooth enabled head unit that can do this?
thanks

I have a Pioneer DEH-P700BT head unit that connects to my iPhone/iPod via usb and 30pin connector, and also does hands-free calling. Check it out here at:

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.

Piping mp3's to rented car stereos on long trips

I intend to rent cars every so often for 5-hour cross-province trips. That means the frequencies that are not occupied by radio station broadcasts are constantly changing. I browsed http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/caraudio and found the following two options.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW682LL/A
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TU372LL/A
For those who do long trips, which have you found more suitable?
Thanks.

Oh, cool. That means no extra stuff to collect and bring around (and hide when I stop for coffee).
The cassette adapter seems like the perfect solution for my clunker, which I don't take on long trips. I even use to own such an adapter, came with the discman I got 1.5 decades ago. But I recently got rid of it cuz I never found myself using it (never had an mp3 player). Oh well, probably peanuts at the local electronics store. I'll do a last search for it in case I misremember tossing it.
Thanks!

Charge iphone 3gs using car stereo USB sony xplod

i am using my car stereo [sony xplod] for playing music via bluetooth, can i recharge my phone using USB in built with stereo, is it safe?

The iphone and ipod are not the same device.
Perhaps your car stereo supports ipod and not iphone. Check with the manufacturer of your car stereo.

Bluetooth not working with my Sony car stereo

Now that I have upgraded from my Iphone 4 to the Iphone 5. My Sony DX300BTX Bluetooth car stereo will not connect. I had a oppiontment this last Friday with the apple store. They were able to connect with there Blue tooth keyboard. The tech said he could not find any problems with the phone hardware and would not replace it. The tech sudjusted that I restore the phone as a new phone. I did this. Then attempted to connect with my car stereo. The car stereo connected to the Iphone 5 but the Iphone 5 would not connect to the car stereo. Btw the Iphone 5 has the latest 6.01 o.s And so dose my Iphone 4. Today I took it out to my car to see if it would still connect with the car stereo now that it has the latast 6.01 o.s. Connected and played Itunes and Pandora perfectly.
So it appears that the Iphone 5 bluetooth chip is the problem. It's not a software issue and it's not a issue with my sony stereo because the car stereo connected. But the Iphone 5 would not. My question is how do I get Apple to fix there faulty bluetooth chip. I just bought this car stereo last year. It was suppose to have the best bluetooth connectivity. And it did with my Iphone 4. I know if Steve Jobs was still with us this Iphone 5 would have not been released until these kind of bugs were fixed. And just for the record my sony laptop can see the Iphone 5 to but the Iphone 5 can not see the sony. Dose Apple make a car stereo that connect to there Iphone 5

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Reset the BT device
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Fast fwd & rewind buttons jamming on car stereo

A few months ago I noticed that the fast forward and rewind buttons no longer functioned properly on my car stereo. I have an iphone 5 currently on IOS 7.1.2. I do not know if this loss of function coincided with a software update but the buttons worked with my iphone 5 when I first purchased the car in March 2012. Now when playing music on my car stereo via bluetooth from my iphone this is what happens: If I try to fast forward a little bit through a track the fast forward button just keeps going faster and faster until it gets to the end of the track i.e., it doesn't stop skipping forward when I lift my finger off the car stereo button. The same thing happens with the rewind button. All other buttons work fine - skip track, volume, etc but once I touch the fast forward or rewind buttons no matter how briefly, the tune will just keep fast forwarding until it reaches the end (or beginning) of the track.
Car is Toyota Yaris 2012. I have contacted Toyota to ask them to find out if there is a firmware update for the car stereo and they are going to get back to me.
I have tried a phone reset. I have tried un-pairing and repairing however I did not delete all devices from the car stereo just my phone.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Issue resolved, sold iPhone and now using Android smartphone.
Works perfectly with all my audio devices and so much faster than iPhone should have done this much earlier

Car stereo (clarion vz401) sometimes not recognizing ipod 6th generation. it says unsupported usb?

I have a brand new 6th gen ipod nano. when i connect it to my car stereo (which says it supports 6th gen) most of the time it will say unsupported usb. after a long time it will eventually connect and work fine. this happens every day. any ideas?

The iphone and ipod are not the same device.
Perhaps your car stereo supports ipod and not iphone. Check with the manufacturer of your car stereo.

Issues with USB connection to car stereo

I just got an iPhone a few weeks ago, and generally it's great, but I have frequent issues when connecting it to my new Pioneer DEH-P3100UB car stereo. I think it may be kind of new in that it doesn't have a "special cable" for connecting to the iPhone, it just uses the typical USB sync cable.
When I see the problem, the stereo reports error 19, which the manual calls a communication failure, and suggests turning the car off and back on, unplugging and replugging the USB device, or switching to a different audio source and then back to USB.
Generally, none of these suggestions work, but power cycling my iPhone always does. This doesn't seem like it should be necessary. Has anyone else had problems like this? Is this a problem with the iPhone software that might be addressed in a future software update?
Thanks!

Hey jrbapple,
Keeping your iPhone updated is a good idea. If you iPhone isn't already updated to iPhone software 2.2.1, try updating it now.

Does the car stereo have the "Works With iPhone" logo?

IPhone 3G works with Alpine iDA-X200 car stereo

I just wanted to drop a quick note letting folks know that my iPhone 3G works flawlessly with my new Alpine iDA-X200 car stereo. Charging and playing music from the iPhone's iPod work well. As an added bonus I can also play Pandora music through my car speakers with the system. I do get the "This is not a supported accessory do you want to enable Airplane mode?" question but I answer "No" and haven't had a problem.
In case anyone is in the market for a new car stereo to work with their iPhone 3g I recommend the Alpine iDA-X100 or X200 head units.

So I went to the store where I bought my Alpine iDA-X200 and explained what was going on. They seemed to think that is was a problem with all X200s and not just the unit I got - they've had a number of problems with stereos hooked up to iPods and even more so with iPhones.
Well, after playing my iPhone 3G on a demo iDA-X200 for 18 minutes it began to drop out the audio. They were going to call Alpine in the morning and see if they had any advice but before that I plugged in my iPhone 3G into their demo iDA-X100 and let it play. After 35 minutes on the X100 it hadn't missed a beat so I paid the difference and swapped out for the X100. So far I'm pleased but we'll see how things go over the next couple of days - I and hopeful but have my fingers crossed.

What app do I need to download and install in order to use my IPHONE with my Clarion car Stereo

I connected my laptop to my Clarion car stereo using USB but the IPHONE says that i need to install an app for this, when I agree and proceed to the download, it brings me to the apple store but does not indicate which application that I need to install.
Does anyone know which application I need to install on my IPHONE in order to connect it to my car stereo and be able to select the music that I want to listen too from the IPHONE?
Cheers!
pieco

Did you ask Clarion? I know of no other car systems that require an iPhone app to work.
