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 dont see the bt852hd in the list?
I have a Mac as well. Copied it to root level of USB stick. Note, I used a PC formatted USB which might make a difference.
Good Catch. Ill try that because I wasnt.
Stephen, Thank You! Its updating now. This fix was a long time coming. I really appreciate your help sir.
yes your are right ear peace same 6.1.3 can not answer the phone with the phone it jump out if blue tooth to iphone and have to change it back to bluetooth same in ISO ver 7.. STILL NO FIX .
Out of curiosity... has anyone experienced any issues after updgrading to iOS7? I've been holding off, and I am worried this is the one thing that's going to break.
Thanks
I am still having this issue...I have a vw jetta and I can not use the touch screen to control my music, has there been a fix yet?
Did you ever find a solution for your bricked 133bt? I just bricked mine trying to update ir using the CD update... I'm feeling like such an idiot, at least I had a hands free device.
How much did you Pay For the repair? I just bricked mine.
I'm having the exact same problem. Bought the iPod for the same purpose and it is very annoying. Cannot use it through bluetooth.
The only thing that has changed here from a working infrastructure to a widely broken infrastructure is IOS6. After I spoke to Kenwood, as you are thinking that we didn't go down that avenue, They stated that their product was working just fine until the IOS changed. So???.
If you changed a known working light bulb to a "New and Improved!" light bulb that doen't work, would you like to change back to a known working one, or would you keep it and hope for the best that it will turn on?
They should give the oportunity to restore back to 5.1.1. until the problem with IOS 6 has been restored. If you changed to Bluetooth 4.0 or what ever the revision is out now... don't break existing working revisions., You add it on as another option.
With no yelling and now screaming intended, Bottom line it worked before they Changed the IOS. I ask Apple to give us the option to go back to 5.1.1, to restore it working condition.
I don't see to many "Apple stereos" available to use my apple products on, you would think they would support their Partners.
At least you guys are getting updates. I emailed Sony about mine and they straight up said that my unit was not compatible with the iPhone 4S or the 5 as well as the Galaxy S3.
