iPhone 5s with iOS 8 connection problems to Ford Sync system.

Thanks Johnathan. That was the first thing I tried, sorry if I forgot that in my post. I deleted my phone from the car and deleted the Sync pairing in my phone. I then restarted both and re-paired. Still no change. I am hoping that Ford comes out with an update to the Sync system at some point soon. I had this same issue when I first got my iPhone 5s and had not yet upgraded my Sync system.

I Spoke with someone at Ford Sync and I had to do a master reset on my sync and forget the device on my phone. It didn't work, then later on today I did a master reset again on my own reset my devise (holding power and home button) forgetting the device and repaired it. Finally it worked. I hope this will help and work for you guys as well. Ford said IOS 8 too new to do testing.

Have you checked in the Control Center to ensure that your iPhone is sending the audio to the correct connection?

A week or two ago my iPhone and Sync weren't on the same page - I was connected by Bluetooth and plugged into the USB to charge. My iPhone was playing a podcast. I had to change where it output the sound (where you would normally see 'Airplay' or similar) to ensure it was sending the audio to the same input my Sync was set to (USB or Bluetooth Stereo).

Similar problem in my 2010 Suzuki Kizashi. Music plays through usb but I can no longer control tracks using my cars controls.

Frustrating!

Same problem with my Infiniti. I fixed it on Bluetooth by forgetting my iPhone on the car system an re-pairing. For USB I plugged in, shut down the iPhone and rebooted. Then it seemed to work fine again. Not sure why, just trying out some things and that worked.

My 2014 Outlander Sport gets stuck on "confirming the media" when I plug into USB. It does recognize that the phone is connected to USB. I called AppleCare and they claim that I need a firmware update on my car's audio system. So I emailed MitsubishI. It will be interesting to see if they bounce the ball back to Apple (If Mitsubishi even responds).

I have a outlander and similar to your issue.

I suggest you do the following

1.reset network settings

2, delete all paired phone of your current outlander.

3. Do a hard reset on iPhone

4. Pair your iPhone again

5. Plug in to your usb port

Problem solved,but music may not resume from where you last played

Good luck.

I did all those things but the problem persists for me with USB.

I Havent tried the music but will do so when my wife brings the car home. However the phone doesnt fully sync to our Mazda 3. Ringing in the car answers the call and audio works fine. Calling out using the cars on board voice activated system works but making the call from the phone while in the phone does not get picked up by the cars audio. Lets hope I dont find other issues.

Hello, same for me I have suzuki swift 3 and i plug my iphone to USB.

My car show me the name of music, the music start to read but i have no song in my car. Before my iphone with last IOS 7 works perfectly.

I contact the suzuki company to not if they have update for the comput board.

I have in iphone 5, 2014 Nissan Versa, similar issue.

Since the update, the car stereo recognises that the phone is connected, can see & navigate the files, but cannot play the music. It did once or twice but nothing for the past few days.

Couple of notes:

- skipping to next track won't work, it resets back to first track

- if an album has 10 tracks, the menu shows 20, so it tries to play track 11 of 20, not 1 of 10.

Same here except my iPhone 6 Plus doesnt even pick up the Mazda 3 at all. Cant even connect to it. Hopefully an update soon.

Hi I have exactly the same problem.

apple please tell us how to fix this!?

I'm having the same problem with my Nissan Navara D40. Since updating to IOS8 I can't take calls using Bluetooth on my car although Google Maps reads out direction OK. I have re-paired the phone and the car but this made no difference. Apple please sort this out. I never had a problem with IOS7.

I'm having a similar problem with my BMW 128i. After the iOS 8 update to my iPhone 5S, the music tracks appear on the iDrive display but won't play audio back. Worked fine with the last version of iOS 7.
