iPhone not working with Pioneer Car stereo

SO, I am NOT a very happy person right now. I upgraded to OS4 and now my car systems won't recognize the Iphone. The stereo cost more than the **** phone and one of them is about to go in the trash.
I see other people are having the same problem. This is NOT Pioneers problem, it is APPLE's.
When can I expect a solution? In the day, Apple stuff just worked. That was the beauty of it. I don't know what has changed at Apple, but the new products and half the OS updates are crap. Did Apple hire a bunch of engineers from Microsoft?
I am not even going to start on MobleMe cuz it would go on for days and probably get pulled for being off topic.
Looking forward to a quick solution to help restore my faith a little.

I have a Sony CDX-GT640UI headunit that wouldn't work this morning after upgrading to the new iphone os 4.0 also. After talking to Apple and Sony, they didn't have any solutions. As soon as I got home from work, I found this discussion and decided to give the hard reset a try. IT WORKED!!! I can play my music again with my iphone via USB connection on the headunit. Thanks for the help!

FYI: Hard reset is when you hold the top button and the home button together until the Apple logo comes up. The "slide to turn phone off will come on, but keep on holding the buttons down until the Apple logo comes up. Once the phone reboots, connect it to the car head unit and it should work.

I also have the Pioneer FH-P8000BT and I'm having the same problem. USB and BT tel works but BT audio doesn't. Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

In case anyone is searching, this method also worked with my Nissan Navigation system. Thanks!

Great advice. Hard reset connected to stereo worked a treat on my Pioneer DEH-3100UB. Thanks.

The "Error 19" issue seems to have cropped up with upgrades to iOS 4.0x. This problem seems to have been resolved with the iOS 4.1 update.
