usb connectivity in car not working after ios 8 update

I had the same problem with my iPhone 6S and 2014 Hyundai Elantra.

Turn your vehicle off.

Turn your iPhone off.

Plug the iPhone into the USB port - do not turn the phone on.

Start the vehicle.

The phone will power on by itself after the vehicle has started.

The vehicle should recognize the phone and you should be able to play your music.

Please share this if it works for you.

After updating to iOS8 on my iPhone 5, it no longer connects to my radio system in my Chevrolet Equinox. I am also having problems with my Bluetooth system being able to answer and terminate calls on my iPhone. I also got an iPhone 6 and it has the same problem. I called Apple support and they said it was a problem with the vehicle's firmware being outdated. I called Chevrolet and they said they do not do firmware updates. Thanks Apple.

2013 Dodge Charger with UConnect 8.4, with iPhone 5. Same issue. Before I updated to iOS8, my phone worked flawlessly via the USB port. Now, nothing. My Bluetooth seems to be working fine, it's just the USB connection that is totally lost. Note, I took an iPhone 5 iOS7 and plugged it in and it worked fine, as it should. Please, stop giving us this is a problem with the vehicle, it's not, it's an iOS8 issue.

I have the same problem. My phone worked well for a year in my 2013 Nissan Rouge, now after OS 8 upgrade, I keep getting connectivity errors.

My choices are: buy a new car, or by a different phone. Sorry Apple.. you need to fix this quick or you will lose a customer.

Same thing here. I have a aftermarket Sony receiver that would allow me to control my music via the stereo controls when connected to USB. Now my iPhone 5 running iOS 8 just seems to confuse my stereo. Even manually trying to control the music from the iPhone causes issues. No firmware updates available for my stereo. Never have either.

I am having the same issue. I have a Tacoma 2014 with Entune. I got the iphone 6 and ever since I can not connect to my truck. Not for music or phone. IT doesn't catch the Bluetooth at all. This is a BIG downfall to the new phone/update. I read another thread that says to go to Cellular Data and turn off LTE and it should work but I haven't tried it yet as I am still at work.

If there is a solution please share! APPLE PLEASE FIX!

This has worked for many people I know. I had the same issue with 2 cars, Volvo and Lexus.

One solution that has worked for me:

Settings ->General ->Reset -> Reset All Settings

YOU WILL NOT LOSE any data, but you will have to reconnect Bluetooth and enter your WiFi passwords.

I was a bit hesitant to Reset All Settings but it actually worked! I read your post late last night and made the decision to follow your solution. While it was a bit of a pain to reconnect Bluetooth, Wifi passwords, sign back into iTunes Match, Reset Home and Lock screens, etc., it worth it. I am once again able to control my music through my car stereo as I was able to before updating to iOS 8.0. Thanks.

Thanks!!! The "Reset All Settings" worked...!!!

Hey! Thanks for that advice, it worked the first time but the next time I plugged my iPhone in, it went back to not working.

I think Apple should be aware of this!

Unplug your iphone from your car and then plug it back it...see if it still works, my experience is that it works the first time, after that it's broken again.

That's exactly what I said right above you... come on Apple. Fix this thing!!!

II'm having the same problem. Same make and model car. I tried every solution offered, nothing works. Tried resetting network settings, hard reset, power off; nothing works. Same issue with my iPad. Could play music through usb in my car on iPad before iOS 8 update. Now, it doesn't work either.
