iPhone/iOS 6 and a car stereo

I have a JVC aftermarket stereo in my car that is designed to work with iPods and iPhones. I've used my 3GS and 4S on it without any trouble until today when I upgraded to iOS 6. When I plug my phone in via the the 30 pin dock connector the screen reads "READING." Nothing happens and sound still plays through the phone. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Somehow I got it working. I deleted the the ford audio in blutooth, then turned off the iPhone and stereo. Then turned the phone and car stereo, and entered the pin. then put car stereo in ex. device.

At first the sound were very distant, but from the car speakers....then plugged the aux-cable, and played music from aux in car-menu. Then unplugged aux from iPhone, and tried again from Bluetooth (external device). Now it suddenly played as supposed!!

Have no idea what the problem was, but its a SUCCESS,,

Tomorrow I try to solve my wifi problem.


Though, i think i'll wait with upgrading my iPad, though:)

I'm having the same problem with my X-CarLink on my mazda 6. It's a simple device that allows me to interface with the iphone to play music through the car stereo and use the car's stereo controls to change the music. Since updating to iOS 6 the device simply doesnt work. I can play one song if I have it playing before i plug in the iphone to the car, and I can't change the song using the car stereo. If I change the song on the iphone it just stops playing. The music also is only coming out of 1 channel since the update.


I wonder if apple is going to fix it. If they don't, no big deal, iOS6 is turning out to be a giant pile of **** anyway, so I guess i'll just have to downgrade.

Just wanted to chime in that I'm having issues as well on my 3GS. I have a USA SPEC PA-HON2 adapter in my 2005 Honda Accord. Everything worked great before upgrading to iOS 6. Once iOS 6 was installed, I get no playback whatsoever. Not even through the iPhone itself when hooked up to the car stereo via the Dock connector. I try to play a song and it loops through the entire playlist over and over again constantly switching songs. No audio at all.


edit: Hrmm now that I try it, my iPhone won't play music at all. Same behavior as hooked up to the car stereo adapter.
