Hi Guys,
updated my iphone 7 plus to iOS11, but now I cant play music through the usb to both my car and stereo dock. The phone will charge, but music will only play through the phone. Ive tried all the usual resets, tried songs through apple music and stored songs, but to no avail. is there any way to fix this?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11, null
I've had this bug with previous phones. Here's the issue. You need to have at least one song stored on your phone for your car to fully recognize your phone as an audio source. So go to iTunes and download a single song to your phone. Now connect your phone to your car using USB and let the car connect to the phone. All your other audio (YouTube, Spotiy, etc) should work fine. It took me forever to figure this out.
i’m having the same problem and it’s very annoying. I finally updated to iOS 11 and I really wish I didn’t. My sister is having the same problem too. Apple,
Apple had me do the same thing...... didn’t work
This didn’t work for me.
All of my songs are downloaded on iTunes and it still doesn’t work. This is the most frustrating thing Apple has ever done. I’m considering taking my phone back to the IOS 10 to see if that works
Update: I purchased one song on iTunes and it worked once then stopped working and said media connection failed. So frustrating!
All my songs have been purchased through iTunes
Sent from my iPhone
Totally works!
I tried some of the suggestions others made, which didn't work. Then, duh, I simply turned my iPhone off & on, and the problem was corrected. I hope that simple fix will work for others.
You are right. That’s what I did - Downloaded at least one somg and Apple Music started to play through the usb cable in my car!
Geniuse!
Buying & downloading songs did not correct my problem. Simply turning my phone completely off, then back on, corrected my my problem. I’ve had no problem since.
