iPhone/iOS 6 and a car stereo

Found another problem, when I finally do get to listen to a pod cat, when a phone call comes in the phone switches to answer mode all good, but when the call finishes and the podcast restarts, the car audio crashes again saying unsupported.

The podcast app is not supported by the Honda Audio System at all, dropping podcasts from he iTunes app is a bad move.

At the lease there should be options to use both.

Same problem: iphone 3GS and JVC KD-AVX44

stopped working after upgrade to ios 6 using the dock cable, works with bluetooth

iOS 6 Working again in my 2010 GMC Terrain with cable dock with iPhone 4s. I too upgraded to iOS 6 and found that I could no longer use my iPhone with the cable dock to play iTunes/Pandora. Very bummed. My solution was to use the head phone jack. That worked but not with the car buttons. I had to control everything through the iPhone 4s. ***Fast forward to today, I tried it the old cable way and it worked perfect through the cable dock. I can control through the car again! FYI people***

GUARANTEED SOLUTION READ!!!!

Okay so I had the same exact issue on my 2012 Honda Accord. I took my car to the dealer and some iPhones worked while others didnt so they said they can't do anything. I thought the stereo system may have needed a firmware update to be compatible with my new ios but it was not even related to that. My front door neighbor has the same exact vehicle. I just spoke to him and he advised me that to fix the issue all I had to do was SIMPLY PURCHASE A SONG ON iTunes....YEA LIKE THAT WILL WORK? Well thats what I said, but that $1.29 song I bought MADE IT WORK! I was surprised as **** to find out that would solve the problem.

Solution Summary:

Purchase a song on your iTunes. If you had done so in the prior ios DO IT AGAIN! I had never bought anything on iTunes and this was my first purchase. I GUARANTEE YOU it'll work....well at least in the Honda Accord it does. I had to call my Honda service rep and let him know so in the future if someone brings their car in for same problem they know how to advise them.

HOPE THIS HELPED A LOT OF YOU FROM A LOT OF FRUSTRATION 🙂

EugeneA's answer works! Way to go Apple...seems like a simple fix you guys might want to look into with the next patch.

Anyway, I just added a couple songs to my iPhone 4 Music library and magically my aftermarket radio's controls work again and Spotify can be accessed through the truck radio when I connect through the radio's dock cable. Wahoo! See ya later public radio. 🙂

Oh, and you don't have to buy something from iTunes. I just copied a couple songs from a CD I ripped.

but does that fix the pandoa or podcast issue?

I may have to try these as i have a 2011 Pasat and ipod will not connect. Will let you know the out come....watch this space.

Tried to copy a song from my CD to my itunes and to my iphone 3GS. Didn't work on my JVC KD-AVX44

Still not playing, will have to try something else. Not happy 😠

has yours ever worked before? if yea then spend a dollar and buy something from itunes...see if that fixes it...if no then its maybe due to your aftermarket stereo systems incompatibility.

It has worked previously, tried buying a tune from itunes, still doesn't work. Plus my wife's still works (still on iOS5). It is not just my car though. It is the 3 docks we have in the house (Sony, Samsung and Bose) and mine and my wife's car (VW Passat and Ford Fiesta)

Same situation ... my 3gs worked fine ... upgraded to a 4s and it was a no go .. my Gf's 4s with pre 0S 6 works fine...when is there gonna be a fix for this ...

yeah same issue with me, my girlfriends got a 4S with IOS6 and her phone can be controlled from my headunit etc fine. But my 3GS with IOS6 don't wanna know. pretty **** annoying, any ideas?

I have a similar issue. I have an iPhone 4S running IOS 6.0.1 and I use it to listen to podcasts during my commute in a 2010 Honda CRV.

When I play my podcasts, whether in the iPhone Podcast App or in Downcast, it works okay until the end of the given podcast.

In the previous IOS at the end of the podcast the stereo would automatically move to the next podcast in the same subscription (i.e., I just finished one episode of Fresh Air and it would automatically start the next episode).

Now in IOS 6 at the end of the podcast it goes randomly to some of my music in iTunes.

If I use the stereo controls to advance to the next track (podcast episode), it also shifts to the music.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
