usb connectivity in car not working after ios 8 update

Same here. I have a 2013 Hyundai Veloster and since I updated it stopped responding to my cars commands. Very annoying and unsafe!!😠

Everyone should submit feedback about this through here: iPhone Feedback Form

I have the same problem-not connecting to my car (Lexus IS) stereo with USB cable after iOS 8.02 upgrade.

Well, the good news is this should all be solved on Monday when iOS 8.1 is released. Fingers crossed. Will report back after that

I agree with you, have same Make and model car and I am dealing with the same frustration.

As an FYI. I've also booked my 2013 Chrysler 300C for a software update on Friday. Will report then as well

I was able to fix my issue - maybe it will work for you.

Technical details.

Iphone 5 and iPhone 5s

Kenwood Car stereo with iPhone USB support & iPhone Blutooth support.

iTunes Match with a rather large music library of about 15,000 songs.

I've never had any issues with either of my two iPhones connecting to this stereo via usb and playing songs in my library. After I applied the iOS 8 update, whenever I would plug my phone 5 or 5s into my car stereo, the stereo would just display a blinking "reading" light. I drove across town for 20 minutes and it never played music.

Here's how I was able to make it work.

Downloaded the IOS 8.0.2 update that was just released this morning...- 10/20/14 it's no longer an issue for me.

I normally never ever update to a new iOS until after apple has released the second update for it. Now I learned my lesson for downloading IOS 8 right off the bad. Should have knows better.

I'm going to assume you mean you downloaded iOS8.1 this morning?

Also, whilst I agree that it's not always a wise move to download a new OS off the bat, if we all did that, we'd never know half the bugs that needed a fix. That said, they'll always be developers and early adopters with every product. I've just updated my OS, will test in about an hour and post back.

Sorry, yes, my most recent update was to IOS 8.1 - that's what I get for trying to be smart about my last post. I plugged into my car stereo after applying the update and all is well in the world once again.

Works now with 8.1. Yay

I can confirm the iPhone 6 with iOS8.1 now works as it used it in my 2013 Chrysler 300C.

For good measure I did the following:

1. Forgot the device (uconnect) in the iPhone
2. Forgot the iPhone with the uconnect (i.e. deleted the device)
3. Re-paired the two in the car

Now I can:

• Play music through my Bluetooth as normal (couldn't do this with iOS 8.0.1/2)
• Change songs using Bluetooth (back and forward)
• Make and end calls

I haven't tried receiving a call yet (which broke on the previous update), but I'll assume all is well.

I'm getting the uconnect software updated in the car this week, I hope everything still works then.

Best of luck....

I also can confirm that my iphone is now connecting to my car after updating to iOS 8.1

I updated to 8.1 and my iphone 6 still doesn't seem to work with Uconnect. I still can't browse my playlists. Bluetooth has never been an issue for me since the beginning. So i am still stuck with the same problem. Did anyone using Uconnect manage to browse their playlists after the update?

Me too my iPod 5 works w ios 8.1 on my u connect i was able to upload my playlists but noyhin e the iphone 6

Sent from my iPhone

Yeah, USB connectivity works fine with IOS 8.1

Sadly, I must report that the problem I had with the USB connection from my iPhone 5 to my Mitsubishi remain. Only when I reboot the phone, does everything work fine, for a while. Then, it all stop working again.

iOS 8.1 made no difference.

This feels like I'm using Windows, having to reboot to correct an intermittent problem. Sad day for iOS.
