bluetooth music issues after iOS6 update

Ok, i just updated to iOS6 today. I jump in my car to drive home, and now my radio ( pioneer svh-p3400BH) no longer shows any sont info when bluetooth streaming. I used to get artist, album, and song info. Also, when i connect it via USB, i no longer get genra infr ( pop/rock, classical, ect).



Any ideas? if this a firmware on Pioneers side, or is the blue tooth messed up in iOS6?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

I am also having the bluetooth control and meta tag issue. I just purchased this stereoa little over a week ago and just finished hooking up the reverse wire today completing the install, only to find out that the bluetooth function is gone. I have sent an email to pioneer, but as it is weekend, they are not open.


I have already been to the apple store 3 times with the 4s, and still need to go back. I think I will also stop into the apple store and see what they say about this.

I was not thinking they would fix it in a weekend, I was saying I was waiting for and email back on what Pioneer is saying on this, what the issue is. I just purchased the car I installed this stereo in, the factory stereo was no good, I still need to get it tagged before it is a huge issue. I drive 1 hour each way for work, this is important to me, I want to listen to my own music, not a DJ talking half the time. Also, my Pioneer 4400bh has the usb port in the rear, I did not hook that up to the extension, I forgot (I was also to lazy to go back again), the one time I had to pull the stereo back out it took a while and almost smashed it (the bracket starts to bend and basically turns into a brake).

Hey answer123, stop towing the company line and get a real grip on this.. we aren’t talking about a charity where they release software for the good of humankind in their spare time.. we are talking about multi billion dollar company that has the means, resources and the corporate interest in making their latest and greatest product actually fit for purpose... Do you work for Apple ? or are you just a corporate sycophant.. get off this site unless you are going to add to the discussion.. take your own advice and go get a beer..

Same thing here. I have the Alpine BT133 and after update to IOS6 all BT controls went out the window. I have been onto Alpine and they have said that they have in excess of 1500 calls and emails a day since IOS6 went live.

It is not the job of all manufactures to rush out an update because a phone manufacture decides to change a key feature of there product. Pioneer and Sony are in the same boat with hundreds of emails and customer service complaint because of what apple has done....Steve Jobs wouldn't have let this happen (R.I.P Mr Legend), or allowed the Iphone 5 released with a flawed Map system, but there ya go. Take away the Genius and ya left with the monkies.

I have the same issue. Updated my iPhone 4s to iOS6, and lost all function of bluetooth except making calls through my deck (AVH-P8400bh). I also lost function of my Advanced App Mode as well. Apparently if you own a Pioneer producet, Pioneer has already sent in an update for this. They're waiting on Apple to approve the update.


As far as the bluetooth is concerned, I was talking with Apple Support for an hour yesterday. I got passed around, until I got a tech supervisor. He said the bluetooth should still work. They car or stereo companies have to update their hardware/software for the audio info and stereo controls to work again. I'm good in the fact that I can still stream audio, but it really ticks me off that I have to keep picking up my phone to change tracks. Also looking at my screen on my deck, and it says no information found.


To sum this up....SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS! I know it will eventually happen, I'm just impatient.

I have the same issue, Pioneer AVH-P3400BH. I have the apple Iphone 4s, and Ipad 2, both worked before the IOS6 update, and now neither have the full functionality they once did. This must be software related, since the only thing that changed was my Iphone/Ipad os update. I am disappointed, and hope Apple can fix this quickly. I'm sure Apple tested, and not sure how an issue this big could've slipped through testing without being noticed.

So, You have many manufactures that have created their products to support the iphone/ipod/ipad on the platform of IOS5. Apple States that all manufactures need to update thier products. (THEY WONT MOST LIKELY). Apples IOS 5 was working just fine with the many products. If there was any faulty programming, it was on Apples part from the start, because all of these products were made to work with Apple...


No Matter how you look at it, if there was a change to support future products or if they are correcting a faulty programming, apple needs to keep the old platform supported or don't allow a new IOS to be installed on legacy equipment.


100% Apples fault.. I'm quite sure that all manufactures didn't flood us with updates to work with IOS6. The only thing that changed is Apple IOS... Out of all of the problems that have popped up, it's only logical...



Gee... Let me see.... If we deem our product unusable... It would force people to uprade their equipment and we can sell more of our new product... The Bottom Line $$$ is improved What a concept..


What a way to loose customers.


Apple, YOU.... Changed your IOS... I hope you Fix this and stop passing the buck.......
