Can't control bluetooth music from stereo after update to iOs 6

Im having the same problem i was able to do everything with ios5, no longer worked after updating to ios6.

I'm having the same problem. iPhone 4S just updated to iOS 6 and an Alpine CDE-133 BT. I've reset the iPhone, reset the Alpine and repaired the devices to no avail.

The phone functions work fine (so far that I've found). BT audio plays but will not pause/play, skip, FF/RW. Everything works from the phone but not from the stereo.

Any suggestions?

Glad I'm not the only one, just not glad that there is no response on it yet...

I am also having the same issue with my pioneer radio. I hope this gets fixed in the next update!

I have an iPhone4 and a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT car unit. I've upgraded to IOS 6. The update (from what I've tried and what I can tell) is NOT reversible.

Here's what I've found happening between the iPhone & Pioneer for bluetooth streaming audio:

1. The track/artist info no longer displays.

2. The track skip buttons no longer function.

3. The pause/play button no longer functions. It may SEEM like it does, but it simply mutes the audio, the content continues to play (silently) on the iPhone.

4. The content no longer resumes when the vehicle is started.

5. The content will pause when the vehicle is turned off, but a couple of seconds continue (silently) on the iPhone.

6. If content is paused by the vehicle being turned off, it will resume playing on the iPhone speakers following an incoming phone call, whether answered or not. (This can be a little embarrassing, depending on the content of your prefferred podcasts! 😊 )

Same stereo

Same result with ios6

I have the pioneer AVH-P3400BH and the Bluetooth Audio streaming was working beautifully until yesterdays update to iOS6... I'm not a happy camper. I just had this stereo installed last week and wanted it for the streaming audio and now it's not working right at all...... I need answers and a fix... let's go Apple.

thanks,

Suggest you contact the manufacturer. There have been other threads reporting firmware updates being issued by manufacturers so their devices will work with Bluetooth v4.0 which is what is in iOS 6.

I have successfully updated my NORTH AMERICAN Pioneer AVH-P2400BT using the file from Pioneer's website. All meta-data is back, all controls are working as befor IOS 6. The issue of "clogging" when switching from Music to Podcast (because of the new Podcast APP) seems to have been addressed as well.

Pioneer's instructions for updating (Only available in Windows) are a bit kludgey, but if you read carefully, you can figure it out.

I D/L'd the update file to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I don't have a Windows product with Bluetooth capability, so I transferred the file to a USB thumb drive. I used my wife's MacBook to do the updating, following the Pioneer instruction sheet TO THE LETTER.Also, to make sure there were no interference issues, I POWERED DOWN my iPhone COMPLETELY.

When it came time to transfer the file from the MacBook to the AVH-P2400BT, I tried to drag-and-drop it from the thumb drive to the "update" folder in the AVH-P2400BT hierarchy. That did not work - I did get a brief "transfering" dialog window on the MacBook, but nothing actually happened. I had to use "Send File..." on the MacBook's Bluetooth menu and BROWSE to the update file on the thumb drive and the "update" folder on the AVH-P2400BT hierarchy. The file began to transfer - That took less than a minute and the AVH-P2400BT display changed to "Updating" after the transfer was complete. (Yes, there WAS a lost connection error message displayed on the MacBook, following the transfer - Pioneer's instructions say to ignore it. It's logical, because Bluetooth would have to be turned off to be updated.)

The "Updating" took a little over a minute, and the display went to "Completed". After verifying the correct software version, I powered up the iPhone and tested it. Thank you, Pioneer for taking care of your customers for an issue you didn't cause.

I am still very disappointed in Apple for "breaking" Bluetooth compatibility. Pioneer has made it right, but I know from reading all these forums that hundreds of other devices no longer function as desired or expected, and many will have no chance for a firmware update.
