iphone 4S won't play audio in my car stereo's USB now on ios 6

So, I just updated my 4S to iOS6. I wanted to try the new maps turn-by-turn. They actually worked pretty well... unfortunatley when I plugged my phone into my cars USB cable (which worked the day before via iOS5) I couldn't hear the audio directions. I turned on my Audible app to see if a book would play, no audio, though the play counter was counting so it was playing. I then tried iPod, playing, but no audio. I rebooted the phone and tried again, same thing.


I thought my cable wasn't working because of the update didn't like the fact that it was an old cable. Tried a new cable, still no worky. I have a seriously long commute, I NEED my audible to get through it. Aside from unplugging the **** thing and listening to it through the tiny, crappy iPhone speakers while I drive I think it's acceptable to expect to use my iPhone's USB cable through my car strereo like I did before I updated... please help!!!!!

Having the same problem here. Audible and Pandora both don't work with my Honda Civic USB cable. The Tracks and iPod (I think it was) menu buttons are grayed out and it just says "No Song" even though the book or music track is playing. I NEED a fix for this, can't go without my audiobooks on my commute. Not happy at all with the ios6 upgrade...

HELP !!!




It’s not like we are working with Samsun here. They should have thought it out fixed all the bugs then went ahead. I am...... ******! My 3 week old Volkswagen Tiguan no longer plays my MUSIC nor my Audible. Its so not ok. This is a breach of contract. I am told by apple you don’t have to update but my carrier said just the opposite our phones will not work without the updates...


Apple get you crap together, I had such respect you. You have let a lot of apple fans down.

Yes, Apple needs to address this... There needs to be an update for this problem in iOS 6 or a patch to fix this. I've also noticed that my A/V cable (30 pin to RCA style jacks) won't work any more either. The new YouTube App does not display video anymore trough that cable as it did just before the update. The Netflix app also only works intermittently like the audio cables in the vehicles.


Apple please fix this. We understand the updates and moving forward and that this would perhaps be an issue on the iPhone 5 but the iPhone 4 and 4S should work with their original accessories as they used to.

I am calling Apple right now and will let you guys know what's up. Just so you all know, I own Wire Monkeys Integrations in Charleston SC, and you can only imagine what issues this causes for us with this horrible update. They give us a few cool things but the TAKE AWAY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING....MUSIC. I am talking to "Jesse Medina" on tech support hotline. Please feel free to blow this guy up with phone calls about the same issue so we can all be on our way back to normal. This is the only way unfortunately.

So fill us in. I was really destroyed when I got in my car after the update, and could no longer stream local tracks or local playlists from spotify, or pandora to my stereo via usb cable. Tried it all, cant downgrade anymore either. Did you get anywhere with the tech?
