Pioneer car stereo and iOS 7?

I recently purchased a Pioneer car stereo so that I could play music from my iPod Touch 5G. (My stock stereo did not have a conntection). I uploaded the new iOS 7 and plugged it in the morning on the way to work and there was an error on the car stereo. Then the iPod said (this is not a compatible device). Obviously it is the new OS that caused this. What can I do? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not tell me that I have to contact Pioneer to rectify the issue. THANK YOU!!

Well once again I products have limited everyone. All the new style iphones and ipods that have the smaller adapter are unable to send information properly to these stereos due to the fact the transfer setup in the plug is different. The original pkug had numerous pins that were able to transmit data to the stereos properly. As with the pioneer style units you were able to plug in via the pioneer controller cable for ipods and iphones and even play movies on your in dash tvs, not anymore... i am told that being that movies on the new devices have gone digital and stored somewhere the pioneer cannot find them. Apple has done so much to destroy music and video it is not even funny. My advice... get rid of any and all i products. my preference used to be apple, unyil i realized how restricted i was. Always a way around it though 🙂 good luck if you stay apple... btw... dont try all this rooting your phone business or any jailbreak attempts, it does not work!!!!
