Since upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPhone 5, my car stereo now says "USB ERROR" every time I connect my iPhone. To workaround this issue, I have to be playing some music on the iPhone before connecting it to avoid the error message and for the stereo to play music from device.
My car stereo is the Sony CDX-GT560UI. Is this a problem with the car stereo or iOS 7?

I have a similar issue and contacted sony as my stereo is still in warranty. They said it was a compatibly issue and that apple may have a fix:( very disappointed in their -'it is some one else's problem that our equipment does not work' attitude.
I have read a post which talked about playing music on the device before connecting has helped. Obviously not a fix though!
I have found that ensuring iTunes if the active app before connecting to the stereo fixes this issue
