Using a dock with a car stereo

I just installed an Alpine car stereo that allows me to control my iPod with the controls on the stereo's face. It works great if I connect the iPod to the end of the Alpine supplied cable, but gets stuck in "searching" mode if I try to use an iPod dock at the end of the cable. I really would prefer to use the dock. I have to believe that not all of the contacts on the dock pass through - so the Alpine can not fully comunicate with my iPod. Does anyone know if the is a dock avaialble the allows a truely full conection? BTW the dock works fine on my computer, and home stereo. Thanks

All users know is what has been released via Apple's website - http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/

Using the Ipod with a car stereo head unit interface

I have a Kenwood stereo head unit with a kca-ip500 interface for the ipod in my car so I can control the ipod through the head unit.
I was using my mothers old Ipod Nano with it and it was great because when you turn the car off, the song would pause and then when you start your car again, the song would continue on.
Now that I have my own Ipod, the 6th generation Nano, the ipod does not automatically turn on when i start the car unless it was on not long ago. Meaning the ipod turns itself off eventually and the next day when i drive my car I have to pull the ipod out of the glove box and turn it back on. I did not have to touch my mothers ipod, it just automatically turned on for me.
Any way around this so the ipod automatically turns on when it is fed power???

You did not answer my question, was it a firmware update for you iPod or you radio.
Firmware updates for iPods are done through iTunes, did they send instructions on how you were supposed to load it?
What was the filename?

Working iPod 5th Gen with Alpine Car Stereo CMA9855

Hi
Just wondering whether anyone has tried using the latest iPod with Alpine Car Stereo CMA 9855 with an iPod interface.
Problem - not all artists show up on the stereo screen + can't get quick search to work. Is it an alpine stereo software problem?
Appreciate any feedback.
Dom

I have a Clarion Pro Audio deck/Clarion IPOD connector. My system worked great up until IPOD SW 1.2.
Before, I could control the IPOD on the face of the IPOD. Now, the IPOD works, but it's in locked mode, so I can't browse artists/albums any more. Baiscally, I have to hit RANDOM TRACK mode, and hope I land on a CD I'm in the mood for.
Very frustrating, although GAPLESS is great. (FINALLY!!!!)

Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!

The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

I am unable to pair my Iphone 4 with my car stereo or hands free device. It has worked in the past, recently stopped. Please advise. Thanks.

I am unable to pair my Iphone 4 with my car stereo or hands free device. It worked preveiously; please help.

The item that was previousl paired is no longer seen by the hands free unit.
The new system, car stereo and Iphone see each other, but do not pair.
Hope this makes more sense and you have a fix!!

Using my ipod shuffle together with my car stereo

I tried to use a normal cable o listen to my ipod shuffle in the stereo I have in my car and it didn't work. Is there a special cable or it only works with the its own headset?

Hi-
From the Apple Support site http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3472:
When a standard headphone or audio accessory is connected, you can initiate audio playback by simply switching iPod shuffle from the OFF position to the play in order or shuffle position. The iPod shuffle should be in the OFF position for at least three seconds before switching it back on. iPod shuffle will resume playback of the content that was previously being played at a fixed volume level. This volume level cannot be adjusted from the iPod itself. If iPod shuffle is connected to external speakers or a car stereo, volume adjustment may be possible from those devices.
iPod shuffle will pause audio playback when the device is switched off or when the audio accessory is disconnected
Hope this helps

IPOD frozen after use with Jensen car stereo with IPOD control cable

I recently installed a Jensen MSR7007 stereo and connected the IPOD mini with a special Jensen cable that allows the IPOD to be controlled from the radio without having to touch the IPOD. It works beautifully and the IPOD display reads "JENSEN RADIO" while it is playing. However when I disconnected the IPOD it was frozen (locked up) with the Jensen Radio display still on it. It was inoperable when I disconnected it and I couldn't even turn it off.
Please Help.

I am having a similar problem - I just purchased a pioneer DEH-P690UB indash car stereo, but I can not get the radio to recognize my iPod mini (N/A USB). The installar has a newer iPod, which worked when he tested the system, so I have been looking for the new firmware to see if that will help.
Can anyone direct me to the firm ware downloads?

Using Universal Dock in a car

I read a suggestion by someone to use a dock for holding your iPod in a car, and using the line out port to plug in a cassette adapter. Since I have a Peripheral Electronics iPod2Car in my car, I don't need a cassette adapter, but thought the dock would be a good way to mount the iPod for easy viewing. The iPod2Car plugs into the dock connection in the iPod, the cable then enters a box with DIP switches, and the final connection is a vehicle specific cable that plugs into the receiver's external CD changer input. Works well and charges the iPod as well as playing it through the car stereo. Yesterday I plugged the iPod into the Universal Dock and connected the iPod2Car cable to the back of the dock. The iPod sat up nicely and powered up. Only problem: no sound. I figured the dock would simply pass the connection on the iPod through the dock to the iPod2Car connector. When I scrolled the click wheel I could hear it through the car speakers, but when I selected a song and pressed play, I got no sound. Am I wrong to assume that the pins on the back of the dock are just like those in the iPod itself? Does the dock not just pass the iPod connections through to the connection on the back of the dock? I had hoped that this would be a great way to mount my iPod and still make use of my direct connection to my car stereo.

IOS 4.x.x. not working with some car stereos?

This last friday I bought a Pioneer car stereo, the 4200ub to be exact, and whenever I try to use the usb input on it it gets error-19. Error-19 is a communication error with the stereo and the iPhone. I've tried new cables, to reboot the phone, unplugged it and plugged it back in, restarted the car, and restored the iPhone. I've posted on the Crutchfield forums about this issue and they seem to think its an issue with the iPhone new firmware, iOS 4.x.x. They say it has screwed up compatibility for most alpine car stereos and some pioneer and clarion. I don't know what else to do but, if this issue isn't fixed soon I guess i'm going to have to rma the radio.

I bought an iphone 4 at the end of December so I'm not sure what iOS I was running. I just bought a new car stereo system 2 weeks ago to use with my iPhone.
I spent 2 grand on Alpine head unit and Focal components and sub. My phone worked fine through the USB on the drive home.
That night I updated to 4.3.1. Problems appeared immediately. Static hiss and pops and crackles. I cannot listen to my music. Terrible Apple. Terrible. Please fix. I chose my stereo based on iphone compatibility and ease of use through USB connection. The update rendered it all useless the day I spent a ton of money.
I've left feedback. I guess I'll post in any related forum. Let's try to make some noise so Apple can address this issue.
PLEASE!
- A poor pathetic fool who spent way more than he should have on his car stereo only to regret it after updating to iOS 4.3.1

3gs work perfect with alpine car stereo i have 4s no compatible radio what i do? ��

Tip of charger less compatible to car stereo and devices?

Well, you could go with a belkin car charger that's white or black to match your ipod., then use a tape adapter or FM transmitter to get the ipod signal to your stereo.
This might be a good start - I enjoy belkin products.

They have transmitters, tape adapters, chargers, and in both colors.

IPod Mini not working with new car stereo

I just got a 2007 Sienna in which the audio system includes an AUX port for connecting to my iPod. However, when I connect the two (using a RadioShack Gold Series audio dubbing cable recommended by RadioShack), nothing happens. My iPod is not locked, and it works with headphones and also through the FM transmitter (although the latter not very well at all).
Is there an iPod setting that I am missing? Do I have the wrong cable? Is there a problem with my car's audio system?
Any advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Doh. Never mind. I just figured out it was a volume problem.

My iphone 5 no longer syncs with my car stereo.

I'm unable to link my phone through my usb port to my stereo. I had no problem with my iphone 4s. I'm assuming its the new connector. I'm wondering if a new adapter fix the problem?

OK. Purchased the adapter and still doesn't sync to my car stereo. I'm considering sending the phone back for another 4s unless someone has a solution. I'm driving a 2010 Altima with Bluetooth capability, but the music has to be sync through the USB.

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.

Why is my ipod in not working with my car stereo?

i have the stereo hooked up and everything but my ipod doesnt work with the stereo, but my ipod nano works fine with it. i dont understand what its wrong.

Like I said, the Classic doesn't seem to work with many car head units and other 3rd party accessories (something to do with the way Apple have changed the way an iPod recognizes and interacts with these accessories).
Have a look at some of the other threads here that also discuss this.
You would be better off contacting the maker of the car stereos.
