Unable to play music through USB - iPhone 13 pro

I spent hours on the phone with Apple. They had me do all this stuff and it didn’t work. Then the guy, after my third call, said to be patient it’s a software issue and they are working on it. Now why couldn’t they tell me this before four different representatives made me go through numerous steps to try to fix the issue.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro and I listen to audio in my car via a USB cable. Very recently I've started getting a message in the car "unsupported version" and I can no longer listen to audio that way. I assume this coincided with a software update because this has worked fine with all previous iPhones and worked fine with this one for the past year. If I turn the key - but not motor - on I can play audio but as soon as I start the engine I get the error code and nothing I do can get past it.

My daughter is having a similar issue over Bluetooth - her car is newer so she's always played music wirelessly.

I’ve used my iPhone and played Amazon music for many years. Since the update I can’t do anything. Apple says be patient. Well I’ve been patient long enough. Canceled my Amazon music and got Xm which I hate

I went from an XR to an 11 and have the same problem. Have iOS 15.1 and can’t play music in my car through the USB. My son has my former XR and that however still plays through the USB in my car. What’s going on? This makes no sense. My EQ is off, still nothing. I’ve downloaded a song from Apple Music, still nothing. Do I need to buy a new car or what?

I went and got XM radio. I can’t stand radio commercials. This has been soooo frustrating. I’ve always used my USB in my car and played my Amazon music. But this new update screwed or all up. I spent hours on the phone with Amazon and Apple. Apple told me to be patient, they were working on it. Well, I wasn’t being very patient. I also read somewhere it’s the iOS 15.1 No way to uninstall it. But also saw where they said something about downloading something iOS beta? But reading more info on it, it does say it has a lot of bugs. So I didn’t. Trying to wait patiently for Apple to resolve this issue.

Im facing the same issue. Have already turned the EQ off, and nothing will work. It is only because of the latest update. My girlfriend has got exact the same model as mine 12 pro max, and she did not update to the 15.1.1 version and plays just fine. I’ve already spoken to support and not much they could do.

I am having the same issue with my iPhone. I have the 12 and after the latest iOS update I have t been able to connect my phone with the usb plug in my car to listen to music. It was just irking fine before the update

I currently am also dealing with this issue. My boyfriend started dealing with it first and then after my phone updated on its own, I came across this problem as well. I have an iPhone 12 mini and he still has an iPhone 8 lol. So I guess it’s a waiting game for a update to fix the issues 😩

I can use my auxiliary cord, but that's not as safe for me driving to change songs, etc. I've thought about just getting a newer iPhone but I don't know if it's this way for all phones or just my iPhone 11?

FWIW it seems to be solely Lightning to USB. I have 15.1 on my iPad Pro and I can use a USB-C to USB-C cable to my FIIO BTR-5 and get lossless audio, with the FIIO displaying the bit rate. I did not have the EQ turned on but Atmos is set to automatic, so that setting seems to have no bearing on the iPad and USB C.

However - if I use an LT to USB-C with my iPhone 13 Pro on IOS 15.1.1 it literally does not see the FIIO. It charges the FIIO if I have the FIIO set to charge when connected but will not send audio even if I turn OTG charging off on the FIIO. Instead it plays on the iPhone speaker as if no headphones are connected. This is a cable verified to work on the BTR-5 and previous IOS devices / IOS versions.

Apple - get a move on fixing this. You literally cannot play Hi-Res audio without a DAC and now you’ve broken the use of DAC’s on your flagship phone…

Update to 15.2 did not work for me. (iPhone 13 / Meenova Lightning to USB-C cable / FiiO BTR-5

Still does not see the FiiO (which works fine on older devices with same cable, as well as on my iPad Pro w/ USB-C to USB-C).

I updated my iPhone 11 to 15.2 and life is back to normal for me! I don’t know what else might have changed but my phone can play music in my car again through my USB/lightning cable. Thank you Apple!

I was having this same problem and was so upset, thinking it was my car! But the cord was still charging my phone so it didn’t make sense! The problem is iOS 15 and 15.1. I just updated my phone to iOS 15.2 and it works again! Try it (:

Having the same issue. No audio thru usb on any app but Bluetooth audio works

Okay thanks

does the USB needed to be plugged in and music playing at the time of

off-on-off EQ?
