Hi, galefromomaha.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


Sometimes when an iOS update is released there is a compatibility lag with certain features that requires an update to the vehicle or the head unit. I would first check for any firmware updates. However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding car stereo connections and an iOS device.
