AUDIO POPS/CRACKLES USING USB INTO PIONEER 3200BT - IPHONE 3GS W/ iOS 4.1
APPLE PLEASE FIX AUDIO POPS/CRACKLES WHEN USING USB CONNECTION INTO PIONEER CAR STEREOS WITH IPHONE OS 4.1!!!
From what I've read on these forums this is a common issue that many are experiencing and has yet to be fixed.
I use an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.1. I recently installed a Pioneer AVH-P3200BT into my 1997 Ford Explorer XLT this week, and when the iPhone is connected to the deck and playing music through the USB interface there's random pops/crackles/static/digital noise constantly introduced into the audio signal. The problem exists when using the iPod feature of the phone, and when trying to listen to Pandora off the phone. I tried my friends iPhone which had an older OS on it and it played without the pops and crackles that I hear when I use my phone. I can play CD's perfectly, and the radio works perfectly also, so I know it's not a defective head unit. It seems completely random. It almost sounds like you're trying to play a CD with scratches on it. I'm ready to throw my phone out the window!! The whole reason I bought the Pioneer deck was to play my music off of my phone in full digital quality, not through some crappy 1/8 inch headphone jack connection. I woulda stuck with my old stock cassette deck with my trusty 1/8-cassette cable and saved myself the money and all these headaches if I woulda known it wasn't going to work correctly. This set-up is basically unusable like this without going crazy!! 😟 I've been a loyal Apple customer for years, but if this doesn't get fixed soon I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER MAC PRODUCT AGAIN. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS! It says compatible with iPod/Works with iPhone right on the box!! LIARS! What a joke I'm so disappointed! PLEASE FIX ASAP APPLE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON YOUR PRODUCTS!
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, WORK-AROUNDS FOR THIS PROBLEM? I've tried resetting my phone, the head unit, different USB cables, and at this point I'm stuck. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Sorry, I'm sooooo frustrated with this right now! Thanks in advance everyone! 🙂
