iphone 5 Bluetooth streaming to car stereo doesnt have song, artist, controls, etc iOS 6 problem?

I have a pioneer avh-p4400bt and it streamed music (bluetooth obviously) no problem with my iphone 4, I had controls, song titles, everything... untill i got IOS 6, at first I was thinking something was wrong with my phone so I used someone elses Iphone 4 and same problem. No titles or controls. I now have an Iphone 5 and it has the same problem. So im assuming its IOS 6 thats not supporting that. Kind of a bummer to downgrade in some areas and upgrade in others. Hopefully we see a IOS 6.1 or something with issues like these fixed. Unless someone knows a way around it? Any Info would be greatly appreciated, or that im not alone. Im calling in about this tomorrow but I thought it couldn't hurt to throw my 2 cents on here.

I have the same stereo as the OP which I just installed a month ago. Kind of disappointed as I carefully planned out the purchase due to being able to integrate my then iPhone 4. Once I upgraded to iOS 6 and then to iPhone 5 with iOS 6 all connectivity was lost. In BT i can hear audio but have to go to my phone to control song selection which defeats the whole purpose. The only control I have on my stereo and remote with BT is volume. I also noticed the volume no longer automatically goes to full volume like it did before.


I also have the iPod cable, halfway down you can take it apart and there is a usb connection. I can connect with the Lightning usb cord but it's also very buggy. It will at least show song playing but does not work like before plus since I'm only connected to the usb and not the video I cannot play video or use any apps such as Maps as my GPS.


I love my stereo and I love my phone. Just hoping Pioneer can come up with a new cable and Apple can resolve the software issues.

Same problem with me, using an iPhone4 with the latest iOS, it used to sync 100% of the time in my 2012 vw jetta, now it syncs about 10% of the time. My dashboard and steering wheel buttons no longer control my iPhone and the song title/artists don't show up. I can still play music through the speakers wirelessly but I have to manually change things on my iPhone and I don't like doing that while driving. I know this sounds like the stupidest first world problem if there ever was one, but it bothers me.
