Is anyone having a problem now with the iPhone 4s not working with their Pioneer AppRadio's, specifically the AVH-P4300DVD? My old iPhone 4 worked fine, but the 4s will now not pass the audio through to the headunit. Thanks
iPhone 4, iOS 5, iPhone 4s
Billy did you have get an answer to your question? I have an iPhone 3g and was going to upgrade to iPhone 4s. However, I don't know if I want to if I can't use the App feature on the head unit or have compatibility issues. I talked to Crutchfield about the P4300DVD and the iPhone 4s, but he directed me to Pioneer's technical support.
Since upgrading to IOS 5, I can no longer hear my iPhone's audio when I connect it to my Pioneer deck via USB. Very frustrating.
Actually, something great happened today. I just plugged it in and it began working again. Obviously the first question to myself was, "What changed?"
I'm normally a guy that rolls solely on streamed Rhapsody or Pandora, so no local music stored. I bought a tune yesterday on iTunes though and tried running it through that input and it worked! Switched to Pandora, and it worked too! Switched to App Mode and it began working as well. Still not quite sure what happened to make it begin again though, whether the order or playing made it recognize the device in the standard iPod mode or what. But it's working now at least...I still haven't tried Netflix on it, but Rhapsody passed through audio in App Mode with no problems.
I use the Pioneer Iphone cable (CD-IU51V)
Billy,
If I had my guess, when you plugged in your phone and iTunes opened up, I bet it asked you if you wanted to do an update on your phone. Is this what happened? Do you have any other apps that you can try like MotionX GPS?
I have the P4300DVD with Pioneer iPhone cable CD-IU200V. Everything has worked great for me on my iPhone 3g and want to upgrade to 4s to be able to use app mode. I'm just holding off until I know it works for sure and there are no bugs.
Thanks again - any info shared is appreciated.
Crow, no I haven't plugged my phone in for any update since it's launch (it has iOS 5 and there haven't been any updates). That's why it doesn't make much sense. I do testing of hardware for my company routinely when it comes to bugs reported in various hardware or pieces of software, something like that would have been my first thought so it's definitely an odd situation.
The only thing that I can assume is that when playing the iPhone (the song was downloaded through the iTunes app) through the iPod input (not going straight to Pandora) that it either updates a setting on the phone or recognizes the cable/headunit in a different way or category of peripheral (to allow pass through of audio/video rather than just a charger). This is what I don't know since I'm not familiar in that level of detail of how the code is written for integration of these devices with Pioneer(or any) headunits. I had the iPhone 4 before the 4s and it worked flawlessly, and the 4s is working just as well now (pending my test of the MotionX app as well).
Back to the updates idea, I still can't remember if Pandora (or Rhapsody) came out with an update since launch. Would that have affected it? Don't know, depends on how the coding is I guess but I'd be surprised if it would be coding at that high of a level that would make the device recognized.
It seems that every day more and more detail on this is coming out, but all I know is it works for me and I was going to raise **** if it didn't (bought my radio 2 months ago).
Today everything is back to normal. Don't know why :)
I am having an issue with my iPhone4 and Pioneer AVH-P3300BT Head Unit.
Before in App Mode I could get the MotionX software to display on the Head Unit screen, now, since around the time I updated my iPhone4 to the latest iOS, the screen does not display anything with any app.
I can still get my music to play (it even displays albulm covers when available), and Pandora still seems to work but the phone no longer goes into 'accessory mode' when plugged into the head unit.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
Anyone have luck resolving this issue?
This seems to be common. I contacted pioneer and they were useless. I have a new 8500 and it works sometimes but then the screen goes out when I shut down. Good luck
