Xperia Z3 compact won't connect to Sony car stereo with usb

Hi, To my dissapointment my Z3 won't connect to my Sony car stereo via USB at all, it seems it is uncompatable whereas my iPod does no problem.. Any help with this?

Most cars have an AUX connection which connects to the headphone jack and to AUX is also a headphone jack so a double ended 3.5mm audio jack which is for phones where as the USB connection is designed for dedicated mp3 style devices like your ipod

Why can't I connect iPod to car stereo with red/white RCA cables?

I have red/white/yellow RCA (I think that's the name of them) plugs in my car stereo and I bought a cable to connect it to my iPod. It's the small plug (3.5 I think) on one end and a split 'Y' that's red and white on the other. The people and my car dealer connected a cell phone that is also a music player to it and it works, but it won't work with the iPod connected. The dealer thought it should be able to work with my iPod, but doesn't know why it won't. Are iPods able to connect to a car stereo this way. Is there another special cable that I need to get?

No, I should think that would work fine. I have a splitter like that connected to my hifi and no issues...you would want to make sure the volume on the iPod is up all the way; I don't know what car stereo you have, but possibly it's a setting on there that isn't right?

HT1369 I have an Alpine car stereo with USB port for my iPod, most recently an error message apperared. Now I am having a problem connecting to iTunes via my computer, with windows 7. The screen on my iPod still shows the Alpine logo and "Ok to Disconne

Please help. My iPod froze up after playing in Alpine car stereo. The screen shows the "Alpine" logo and the message "ok to disconnect" I have tried to connect to my PC with little success. Windows 7 does not recognize the iPod with the error message "device error". I have run the iTunes Diagnostics but it still does not recognize device as "connected"

See my reply to "Transferring Tunes" . Suggestion: From what you said, it sounds like you could easily connect this iPod to a Windows computer. Go back to the computer where you have the 3600 songs. Get the files out of the folder where they reside and put them on the iPod as data (your iPod has to be set up for disc use. So you will then have your music on there as the iTunes music AND the data files. Take that iPod to your Mac. Drag those files from the Finder, where you will see them on your iPod, which will mount like an external disc. (It was set up for disc use). Drag those files to your iTunes Library in the Source List (on the left) in iTunes. You might have to drag them into some interim folder on your harddrive first, like the Music folder within your User.

Bluetooth configured but won't connect to Sony shelf stereo

I've configured my MBP with my Sony Micro Component Shelf System (stereo) w/ Bluetooth with no problem. But I can't figure out how to connect them to actually play music. Maybe this is really simple, but I'm new to Mac as of yesterday.
(I was able to connect my old PC to the Sony stereo using a Bluetooth USB dongle.)
Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Mac OS X doesn't yet support A2DP which is required for streaming music over Bluetooth. This support is coming in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
There is a hack to enable it in 10.4 Tiger, but it's not perfect by any means:

My sony xperia z1 compact won't turn on.

My sony xperia z1 compact won't turn on. If i plug it for charging the phone would light red and will vibrate and continuetp be like that. What will i do?

Guys, I am soon going to try this, and many said this worked.
Equipment required:-
- Sony Xperia Z/ZL/ZR/Z Ultra/Z1/Z1S/Z1f/Z1 Compact (Sorry, I am too detailed)
- Magnetic Charger
- Micro USB Charger (in basic terms, your normal charger)
Reason:-
Sometimes, the device seems to 'forget' how to charge, thus this method shall work
Instructions:-
1. Leave your device to charge with the normal Micro USB charger for 2 hours, and try to do volume up + power on method
2. If Step 1 doesn't work, connect the magnetic charger to the device and leave it to charge for about 30 - 45 minutes
3. If your device seems to react by turning on, then leave it to charge for a bit longer
4. If it seems to be working completely normally, then you can go back to using the Micro USB cable
If:-
The device doesn't do anything differently after leaving it to charge on the magnetic charger, leave it for longer than what I stated previously (maybe 1 - 2 hours) and if nothing happens, then try and contact Sony, or take it to a local shop.
So guys...
So guys, I hope this works for you guys, as this may/may not work for me. Alternatively, you can try and get a test or something done, so you can ensure it isn't a hardware problem (water damage, dislodged battery etc...)
Kind Regards,

IPhone 4 won't play music in car when through USB when connected to Bluetooth aswell.

Hi Guys
Could someone help me. My iphone connects to my car through a USB connector and works fine. When I also connect to my car Bluetooth the sound dissapears after a minute or so. My display still shows the song playing but no sound. I can still go through play lists change track etc but no noise. If I unplug the cable and plug back in again it will work again and after another minute or so the sound cuts out again. Sometimes it won't play at all.
It seems to work fine if the bluetooth isn't connected although I have not tested this extensively.
I have tried in 2 other cars to make sure it isn't a fault with the car and I get the same result.
It isn't linked to any software upgrade.
Has anybody else heard of this or know a solution????
Thanks
Michael.

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.

I turned my iphone off when visiting the doctor's surgery and now it won't turn back on. It had 73% battery left and I have tried connecting it to my computer with USB but nothing happens. I have taken out and replaced the sim card too. Any suggestions

If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck.

How do i let my iphone connect to my computer wifi with usb ?

As the title stated,
How do i let my iphone connect to my computer wifi with USB ?
The reason is because my iPhone 3Gs wifi having some problem. So i have to use a USB cable to connect to my computer and let my iphone to connect to the internet .
If i don't do this i would have to keep on running out & in to my room & my living room.
My iPhone 3Gs allows to connect to the wifi when i am in my living room, but once i enter my room the wifi won't be able any more. So please help me out please people
I'm not sure about why i can't connect to my Ad hoc even it's so near, but i can connect to my router if i am in living rooms.

I believe the next time you sync your phone to itune via the cord, you will have to check the box that says sync via wifi and also enable that setting on your iphone.

Ios 8.3/iPhone 6 problem connecting to Pioneer car stereo

Pioneer model AVH-X2600.
There are two ways to connect to my car stereo to play music: iPod mode or Bluetooth. Prior to 8.3 the BT connection would automatically pause my music after about 10 seconds. After I push Play on the stereo it would continue on without issue. Following the 8.3 update, after about 10 seconds on the BT connection there is this awful scratching/skipping noise, not unlike a skipping cd. But after 5-10 seconds of that, everything is back to normal.
Prior to 8.3 the iPod mode would take a good 20 secs to connect, but then everything would play normally. Now, with 8.3, it won't connect at all.
I don't have any problems with BT connections to other speakers, so maybe this is a Pioneer problem?? Anyone else having this same problem?

Apple is messing with car connectivity for the new car functionality. The "updates" are breaking iPod mode on multiple vehicles. iOS 8.4 Beta 1 is even worse. Connects fine but most functionality is broken.

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.

Connecting the iPad to a computer via a cable does not provide Internet access to either.
What are you attempting to do?

I have mac book pro and recently changed to Lion. since then it will not recognise my epson r2880 printer telling me it is not connected when it plainly is with usb connection?

Turn off your printer.
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
Turn on your printer.
Any difference?
Here are some more tips from Apple Support article.

I recently purchased a car stereo with Bluetooth capability. I paired my iPhone 4S with it and it wasn't working properly. I went into forget this device. Then found out it was something they did when they installed it. Now it won't pair again. Help

I recently purchased a new car stereo with Bluetooth capability. I paired my phone with the stereo and it wasn't working correctly, did forget this device. Found out it was a problem with the radio. Now it's fixed and my phone won't pair with it again. How can I pair it again?

You will need to put the car stereo back into discovery/pairing mode. That may mean you removing the initial pairing of the device. See the user guide for the radio on how to put the device into discovery/pairing mode, and if necessary, how to remove the original pairing. This support document may also provide you with some assistance. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.
