Since IOS7 update, my car stereo will not communicate with my Iphone 4

Ok, I have had Kenwood car stereos with bluetooth connection since they came out with it and I have never had a problem.  Now I am so mad, I am ready to throw my phone out the window.  I can plug into usb or stream music bluetooth and it plays just like it always has.  It even lists the name of the song and artist while the song plays.  My problem is that since the update, I can no longer skip songs or dial by voice.  I called Kenwood and they say that I am not alone.  Their phones have been ringing constantly with disgruntled Iphone users.  Do I need to buy a new phone or can Apple fix the problem?  As I see it, this is dangerous because you literally have to pick up your phone, swipe the screen once to unlock, then swipe again to go to music playing, then pick the song you want to listen to which now shows up as like 20 tiny thumbnails (android copy?).  How am I supposed to drive safely when I have to do this?  Before I could just put Itunes on shuffle and tap the next button on my remote to skip songs without ever taking my eyes off the road.  Also, before IOS7 I could hit the voicecall button and dial by saying the name of the person I wanted to call.  Now I have to unlock the phone and go through the whole dangerous process of finding the contact and dialing.  Is there a fix in the works Apple?  Please advise.  Thanks

If your phone supports Siri (a 4 doesn't), you _should_ be able to  hold down the home button until she is ready then say call XXX. Of course, that is only a stopgap. I have no idea why Apple has to break things to advance their OS. I'm not happy about many of the stunts they pull these days. The only other suggestion I have is to delete the pair between devices and pair them again. There's a slight chance it may work. Otherwise, one of the companies is going to have to release an update to fix it. Maybe kenwoodusa.com already has. Have you checked?

  • Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars

    Ever since I updated iTunes my iPods will not sync with my cars.I have a 30g and 60g 5th gen iPods that I use in my two car. In my cars I have a dealer installed integration module so that I can navigate my I pods play list artist and song titles using the radio itself. Ever since that last iTunes update 7.3.1. I no longer am able to use this feature. I used my sister’s 30g iPod that she did has not updated and the system works fine. Can someone help me with this problem.

    I have had an Alpine head unit in my car with the ipod connection for about a year and it has worked fine until recently. Now I get an error message on the ipod that reads, "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this ipod." I have tried connecting a buddy's ipod to my car stereo, and his still works fine with it. I've done the 5 R's, tried going back to an older version of itunes as Alpine suggested. My next step will be going to the Apple store with an appointment, seeing what they say.

    Now that I have updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.
    I cannot add music to my iphone or upload photos to iphoto.
    I have the last itunes 10.6.3. which was supported by apple.
    itunes will not interact with my iphone on any level.
    Apple made all the equipment I use.
    Bentley and Ferrari etc do not stop making parts for their cars?
    The least Apple could is.
    A. Update itunes to run on a G5
    Regarding iOS 7.0 you have totally lost the plot.
    We buy apple why?
    Quality.
    Intuitive interface.
    Stable software.
    Design.
    All that Steve Jobs consider sacrosanct.
    Quality is about ongoing support longevity of product.
    Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
    So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

    If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.

    Hello xtremejoe
    I find that changing some settings in your syncing options will get syncing working again, like enabling Manually manage music and videos.

  • My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    My Macbook pro OS 10.10.2 suddenly will not communicate with my Cannon MX890 printer.  I reset all printers and now I cannot seem to add a printer by using the Add a printer function.  Ideas?

    The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
    Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

  • I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone, why?

    I made a playlist in iTunes, but it will not sync with my iPhone when I connect it to iTunes and select sync, why?  On the music tab, I have selected, import all songs.

    Okay, but being "checked and highlighted" does not cause media to sync.
    Do you manually manage the content on the device or use the sync feature as designed?
    If manually managing the content, can you "drag and drop" the media onto the device?
    If syncing, go to the Movies (or video) tab and select the video there, then sync.
    Does it work now?

    You don't sync the MM calendar anymore, you subscribe to it in iCal,
    iCal>Preferences>Accounts, enter the details here.
    MM should be the default calendar on all clients.

  • Airport time capsule will not communicate with apple tv

    I have just purchased the new AIRPORT TIME CAPSULE...it will not communicate with my APPLE TV.. 

    Is the Time Capsule the only wireless router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet modem (and not another router) via Ethernet? Is the Apple TV in the same room, different room, or different floor from the Time Capsule?

  • Is there ANY car stereo that REALLY works with an iPhone 3GS?

    Right now I use an older iRiver MP3 player with an older Pioneer headunit in my car. I have to control the player directly, which really ***** when you want to find a certain song while driving. Very unsafe.
    I want to integrate a digital media player with a car stereo (to be controlled with a wireless remote or steering wheel remote). I also plan on getting an iPhone 3GS hopefully in the next few months. I don't want to mess around with multiple devices, so I would prefer to put my music on the iPhone and use it as an iPod.
    I've been looking at several car stereos from Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood, etc. that come with iPod control built-in and a USB cable for connecting the iPod or iPhone to the stereo. Most of these advertise iPhone compatibility, but many reviews I've read says the iPhone compatibility, especially the 3GS w/ newer software/firmware is spotty at best.
    I really don't want to deal with issues like this, so I'm wondering if there's any particular models that really work WELL with an iPhone 3GS, preferably in the $350-under range.

    I went to the Apple Store and they told me that there wasn't a cord that would allow me to play my music from my iPhone to my car stereo.
    So...
    I bought an iPod because I wanted my music in my car.
    I also bought this Kensington Digital FM Transmitter/Auto Charger for my iPod as well. I found a radio station and it worked perfectly.
    I thought to myself, why not try to hook my iPhone up to that cable and see if it worked.
    Well it did and so I took my iPod back and now am able to use my iPhone in my car using the Kensington cord!!
    Here is the link to that cord:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=F92 F7BFD&nplm=TD145LL/A
    It just goes into your cigarette lighter and then you set a radio station on the cord and then tune onto the radio station on your car.
    Hope that helps,
    Sam
    P.S.- Your iPhone is going to tell you that the product is not compatible with the iPhone and would like to know if you want to put it into airplane mode.
    Well just select "NO" and then your phone will work like normal and play your music through your speakers and it will still be able to receive calls while listening to your music, the music will just fade out while you are driving and allow you to answer your call and then once you are done, continue playing your song right where it left off.
