Using iPhone 4 with my car radio

I have a car radio which can connect to the standard iPhone (or iPod or iPad) connector/charger port and the music from the device can then be played through the car speakers. The tracks and playlists are listed on the radio and you control the device through the radio using the radio's "jog" dial. However, when first connecting, I always get the message about this accessory not being suitable to use with the iPhone, but click the "dismiss" button and everything works fine. How can I get rid of this annoying message?

On a side note to my question above, when I have my iPad connected, I should like to be able to control the music through the iPod app on the iPad itself, but there is a constant 'wallpaper' on screen saying "accessory connected" rather than the iPod app. If I quit the app the iPad's desktop is displayed correctly and the music does not stop, but launch the iPod app again and it displays momentarily before resorting to the same "accessory connected" background. Any ideas on how to play the music from my iPad, rather than the radio - because when using my iPhone I can control from either device?

  • Pair iPhone with alpine car radio

    My iPhone 5 won't pair with the Alpine radio in my car. The iPhone 4 did it with no problems.

    I have an Alpine CDE-103BT, had an iphone 4 paired to it. When I got my iPhone 5 I couldn't get it paired. It saw the unit but using 0000 failed each time even though the Alpine manual said to use it and that worked with the iPhone 4. I bought the Stereo at Crutchfield which has lifetime support for anything you get from them. After several hours of searching and reading forums I broke down and called Crutchfield. Supplied my order number and explained what was happening. They told me even though the maunal say use 0000 , try 1234 . Did 1234 and I now have the iPhone5 paired to my Alpine.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Integrating the iPhone with the car

    I have been wondering what I could do to integrate my iPhone with my car's custom stereo.
    Could a cable like this: http://www.wirelesshut.com/0/10424871.html work properly? Both ends would fit into their respective ports and such, but with the iPhone sometimes giving error messages such as 'You can't use such and such product with the iPhone', I would like to know before hand if this feat is possible.
    Any body have any prior experience?

    im assuming you dont have factory installed stereo equipment....
    first i would actually contact the manufacturer to see if the iPhone is compatible...
    i bought an alpine system w/bluetooth & ipod capabilities last year, got the phone recently and was told that the bluetooth will not work with the iphone, but the ipod function will work, but if i use it as an ipod and its connected to my car's system, the phone function wont work

    You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone.  This has never been a feature of iphone.
    You sync them as you would anything esle.
    You select photos from the photos tab.  Whatever is selected will be on your iphone.  Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

  • Using iPhone with portable players meant for iPod

    Is it supported to use iPhone with stereo players meant for iPod? (Bose/Klipsch)
    I put my iPhone in the dock of my Klipsch player that I listen to my iPod with and immediately it screeched feedback through the speakers. Should I just assume that iPhone isn't compatible with these types of players?

    The screeching is GSM interference/feedback. If you wanted to use the iphone with the speakers, try placing it in airplane mode first. That will keep the phone features turned off and keep the interference from happening. On the downside, you won't be able to receive phone calls during that time.
    I would think that they make "supported" speakers, but pretty much the only difference would be that the speakers would be shielded to keep the feedback from happening.

  • Using iPhone with Linux?

    Does anybody know if there's a sensible way to use iPhone with Linux? I really like the look of the iPhone 3G S, but since I run Ubuntu it looks like I've got no way to really use it.
    Apart from the whole iTunes, Apple Store & Firmware updates issue, I've got a bunch of MP3's that I'd want to be able to transfer onto the phone to play them. Is there any way to do that from Linux?

    I've tried Wine with iTunes, but it hasn't worked. QuickTime will install, but that's it (besides, I've had loads of troubles with iTunes on Windows). Consequently, as I'm on the Linux side of my computer all the time, I never really update my podcasts, making my iPhone little different from a regular mobile phone (which in Japan has music players already built into them).
    I dare say, consequently, if my iPhone is lost, stolen, or damaged, I won't be replacing it with another iPhone.

  • Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    There is an international warranty on the Mac, but not on the iPhone...iPhone warranties are tied to the country of purchase.  Iphone 5s are currently only available in the US tied to a carrier, you cannot use another nano-sim card in them.

  • IPod touch 2G does't work with Kenwood car radio anymore

    Hi
    since a few days ago, my iPod touch 2G does not work anymore with my car radio Kenwood KDC-W4544U.
    When i connect the iPod to the radio, the radio display shows "Reading", which it normally shows for like 5 seconds. But now the "Reading" lasts forever, after 10 minutes of trying to let my radio read the iPod, i have no other possibility but listen to CD or radio...
    I have already shut down and restarted the iPod, synched it, even restored it via iTunes. I also tried three different connection cables.
    Is this a known problem and is there maybe a solution?
    Thanks in advance for an answer

    Problem could be solved by hard-resetting the radio

  • IPhone & JVC DAB Car Radio - advice

    Hi Guys & Gals,
    Can I seek your advice please?
    I have a JVC DAB car radio which has a USB connection for my iPod. Works fine when I connect my iPod, but I now have an iPhone 3GS.
    When I connect this to the head unit via the USB the iPhone doesn't recognize the head unit or vica-a-versa?
    Can I get/buy and App for my iPhone which will mimic the iPod and thus enable my JVC head unit to play my IPhone?
    Surely I'm not alone requiring this feature for my wonderful iPhone?
    Can anyone help or advise?
    Mark
    Minchinhampton

    My 3gs USED to work with my JVC head unit until I upgraded to 3.0.1. Now it will not even detect my phone, my phone makes the USB hookup sound and charges, but nothing else works. I've tried downgrading to 3.0 and that does not work. I think apple decided to "fix" something that was not broke. way to go apple.

  • Hello I just bought a car VW scirocco and I can't pair the iPhone with the car as the car says that the phone is not compatible so what can I do ?

    Please I want to know what can I do to pair my iPhone to my VW as the car says that the phone is not compatible and I tried other phones and it worked very good.
    Thanks

    You must change or bluetooth module to a more recent one. It's under the passanger seat.
    I use this one: 5N0 035 730D. It works great on with the iPhone. You can even play musics from the iphone to the radio (on RCD 510 or RNS 510) wirelessly, using BT-Audio.
    I think you can buy it on ebay. It's relatively cheap.
    BTW, is your board computer red or white? If it's red there is no bluetooth module comptible with your car and the iPhone. It must be white.

                Hi imissmn,
    The details from Ann154 are pretty good ways to begin. You can check if the iPhone 5 is compatible by checking the car manufacture's website. You can also provide us with the car make, model and year along with the bluetooth technology (is the manufacture makes more than one). We want to confirm your device details so please let us know as quick as can be.
    Thank you,
