iOS 7 music glitching really bad with my car?

Ok!! I know im not the only person here, but Ive only seen blutooth connection issues.
Mine is different!
I use the USB plug in for my phone in my car, I drive a 2013 Kia Rio.
So here are my issues

#1- In my car, the phone is "stuck" on repeat one song, when, none of my settings are set to repeat... each time a song is over, I have to change it manually (through my steering wheel) to the next song...
#2- After i press the next song button on my steering wheel, its takes a good 5-10 seconds for it to register and change the song, also it gets buggy and will pause the new song for a few seconds, or skip a little of it

#3- Using voice-to-text while my phone is connected to the USB plug in my car, doesnt work, its like it doesnt register my voice...
#4- when I pick up a phone call in my car, and the phone is playing music, The music stops in the car stereo, but continues in my PHONE SPEAKER! yea, I can hear some one talking and listen to the music from the same speaker in my phone... so I have to unplug the phone each time i get a phone call sp the music stops.

#5- Scrolling through songs/artists/playlists etc. using my head unit is VERY slow...
I never encountered ANY of these problems with iOS 6...
(Plus, the new colors are horrid and ugly.. make me feel like im in the 70's... the new color scheme feels like an 8 year old picked out the colors....)

iPhone 5, Windows 7

So it looks like it is an iOS 7 issue... My issue is similar bot not exactly the same. I use third-party music apps for my music. When I listen to music with them, I can listen to one song no problem. However, after the song is over, my iPhone defaults to the music app and I have to manually start my music again from the other app. This is a real annoyance and a MAJOR distraction while I am driving.


My car does not have built-in iPod/iPhone capabilities but my aftermarket headunit does. I can still replicate the issues OP has listed. I wish this would be fixed... It looks like I am going to have to go back to my old iPod 5th gen until there is a viable solution 😐

I have the iphone 6 and running ios 8.12 and have the same problem. It works fine and then all of a sudden I get my music app stuck on repeat. I try to clear the repeat which it shows the option but it doesn't work. Any of the repeat options I chose, nothing happens. I have to manually turn on every song. I wont play the next song in the cue on its own.

Frustrating to say the least.

But I think I have found out why.

With me it is with my headphones. If I use my headphones to say play a podcast. Then shut off the iphone and then go to my car and my bluetooth will find my phone but nothing plays. I have to manually go to the phone and hit the play button.

But If I take the phone and plug in the headphones again and play a song. It seems to clear out the repeat that it gets stuck on. Repeat is highlighted and when I play a song with my headphones it will clear the repeat and work again until I use my headphones and play a podcast and if I forget to play a song before i shut it off I have the same problem again,

How ****** is that. My iphone 5 and all the way down did not do this. So back to plugging it in and play a song then shut it off and it works again.,


Crappy software I guess.


I hope that might help some of you.
