TomTom/iPhone 4 through 30 pin connection in car?

I have an iPhone 4 and am thinking about getting the TomTom app. I also have a Dension Gateway 500 installed in my car that has a 30 pin connector built-in. It works great except I do get the "Not made to work with iPhone" pop-up...but I can still listen to iPod music from the iPhone4 and have steering wheel volume/next song control.
I'm having a hard time confirming if they will all work together nicely since it's not a common set-up.....
...don't want to buy the TomTom dock and would appreciate any experience with TomTom/iPhone and 30 pin connections in general.
Thanks,

Hi
Just to update for the last time. I have realised that if the bluetooth is paired to the car the music sound either does not play or plays for around a minute then cuts out. This still happens even if I disconnect the bluetooth connection. However if I delete the phone completely out at the car and cancel the pairing, the music plays fine no issues.
I guess somehow it is therefore based around the bluetooth. I have checked all menus I can find on the car and the phone to make sure there is no setting wrong somewhere. I cannot understand why it plays for a short time and then stops, seems like an intermittant fault ???
Thanks
Michael.

  • Can not unmute iPhone 6 after connection to car audio

    I have a strange issue with iPhone 6, IOS 8.02. After the phone is disconnected from car audio it goes into mute by itself and I can not unmute it. The silent switch has no affect. The volume up button will unmute the phone but only while I am holding the button. The instance I let the volume up button go, the phone mutes itself again. The only way to get out of this is to power down and back up again.
    Did anyone see anything like that and have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi borisser,
    If you are having issues with unmuting your iPhone after having connected it to your car stereo, and have already tried restarting it with no resolution, I would suggest that you back up and restore the iPhone as a new device. See this article -
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Iphone 4 bluetooth connection with car

    My iphone4 (iOS 4.2.8) pairs with my 2008 toyota Sienna bluetooth; however, it continues to fail and drops connection after a day. It shows it is paired, but I  have to continue to re-pair it to actually get it to work. My ev3 LG phone worked great, so it's not an issue with my car. Any fixes? Is this an iOS problem. I've hear that from the Toyota dealer. They seem hear the issue frequently with iphone users.

    It's not just the bluetooth car radio. Lots of problems with bluetooth stereo overall.. My s305 motorola headphones worked fine until I upgraded recently to 4.3.1 now and it's pretty much unuseable. Practically impossible to get to connect, pair, unpair, reset etc.. Sometimes it will connect but then it pretty much disconnects again after a minute or so. Used to work for me most of the time but it's never been great; now it's abismal.
    Check this thread out for lots of others with the same problem...

  • IPhone 5 bluetooth connection to car stereo

    Just upgraded from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5. My phone connects with Bluetooth fine with my Pioneer stereo in my car, but the song names and artists don't display on my car stereo and the remote for my car stereo now won't advance songs. Volume and source work fine on the remote. All this worked with my iPhone 4. Is there some sort of a bluetooth accessiblity issue that I can fix on my phone?

    Same problem here - I got it to connect once but it barely worked so I disconnected and reattempted connection and fail after fail.

  • Iphone 4 cannot connect to car GPS

    I have an IPhone 4 and a Garmin nuvi 1390T ansd I cannot get them paired via bluetooth?  Can anyone assist?

    Does the Garmin have Headset or Handsfree profile? Those are the only types of devices the iPhone will pair with (keyboards as well)
    What are you trying to achieve?

  • I have programmed my Iphone to automatically connect to confcalls (dialing the nbr, pausing, dialing the PIN code). Works fine from the Iphone as such. When I connect my Iphone in Bluetooth to my car, only the phone

    I have programmed my Iphone to automatically connect to confcalls (dialing the nbr, pausing, dialing the PIN code).
    Works fine from the Iphone as such.
    When I connect my Iphone in Bluetooth to the voice-driven system in my car (Mercedes C), only the phone number appears to be transmitted. Entering a conference call number via the Iphone while driving is not a good idea.
    How can I fix this ?

    That *****.  I sell electronics on ebay.  Before listing them, i have to test and clean them. I have worked with microsoft Zune, you could sync via wireless through the network to your host computer. 
    i was hoping Apple would add that feature or the ability to connect to my computer via WiFi or Bluetooth and sync it wirelessly...   It would be sweet to have the bluetooth and wireless opened up so you can do more than just  connect to headphones or a headset... 
    I upgraded to the iPhone 4 this past december, i am on replacement # 2 or my 3rd iPhone 4...  I was hoping for some upgrades in quality.  Also being left handed, it seemed to drop many calls and give me very poor reception.  i added a Griffin Elan Form Graphie case that covers all but the front, top button, bottom speakers and volume control buttons and the call and reception quality has improved.  But I sure would have loved to see some improvements in the quality and function of the phone...
    Thanks for your input, i really appreciate your replies... 

  • After updating to IOS 7.0.6 my iPhone 5 wont connect to my car stereo.

    Last night i happily listened to my iPhone through my car stereo, got home, updated to the new IOS 7.0.6 and went to bed.
    Having got into my car this morning, i plugged in my phone to find that it would not connect and the car stereo just kept searching. I tried unplugging, waiting a while, turning the adaptet round, waititng again juste in case the connection wasnt good but to no joy. All i can put it down to is the update...
    Any help Apple????

    My problem exactly! With Iphone 4! The updated phone will not connect, the other Iphone 4 not running this latest update works fine! Come on Apple!! Need a fix yesterday!

  • IPhone 4s will not play through AUX port in car after iOS 6 upgrade

    I have a friend who can no longer play music from her iphone through the Auxiliary port in her car. She had been able to do this before the iOS 6 upgrade. In fact, when I checked using a portable speaker, the music did not play.
    I researched this and found lots of cases, but no solution. I was surprised to find that there were some users who had experienced no problem.
    Is there any wisdom out there on this curious issue. Unfortunately, I do not have the iPhone available for immediate testing of any suggestions. I can relay information to my friend.
    TIF

    does it play out of headsets?
    maybe the detector is stuck so they don't detect anything connected
    this is not uncommon and the fact that it happened around the time of an ios update
    can be a much pure chance as it happening while a black cat crossed the street

  • How to play a music on my iPhone through my car radio ??

    I want to play a song on my iPhone through my car radio but not via an FM adapter. I don't want to connect anything. If there is an application, I can search for any station on this application and the same station on the radio so It will connect automatically. For example, the station number on the application is ( 100.06 ) so I have to search for the same satation number ( 100.06 ) on the radio to play the songs on my iPhone.
    Thanks alot for your time.
    Regards,

    You can use Bluetooth devices that are either integrated into the car or purchased separately. This might look something like: iPhone > Bluetooth wireless signal > Bluetooth receiver > wired analog audio plugged into car stereo AUX port.
    If you don't have built-in Bluetooth or an AUX port, you will need an FM transmitter, some of which are wireless but do need to connect to the iPhone directly.

  • Play music on iphone through bluetooth in car

    Can I play music stored on my iphone through the bluetooth in my car? It is paired and I can use the phone - no problems there.

    I've sorted this to an extent. It seems if iPod is 'running' - ie i've played a tune and hit pause - it will connect to the head unit and start playing automatically. If i've not "run" iPod since switching the phone on then it's not possible to select 'streaming' on the Blaupunkt.
    It's good enough but I'm sure it's not how it's meant to work.

  • Playing my iPhone through the car stereo

    I am looking for a new car stereo and the biggest feature I want is to be able to play music off of my iPhone on it. Almost every model I've looked at says it plays wma/mp3/aac. Most of my music files are mp3s, but the last few CDs I ripped in .m4a (Apple loseless). After researching it, I kind of have the impression that m4as are converted to aac, and will be played, but cannot for the life of me find a place that definitively says this. Can anyone help me out?

    Not sure if this info is necessary, but some players connect to the iPhone through the headphone jack, some through USB, and most can do either.

  • Is there a way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my iphone has been connected to?   My Bluetooth car speaker phone was recently stolen from my car and appears to be on Craigslist.

    Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to?  I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist.  I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question.  Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?

    Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
    The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
    "Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."
