Output to car stereo. Works with ipod but not iphone

SingleDouble · 07-14-2007, 05:25 PM

I have a 2007 Mazda which has a simple input to the car stereo which works simply and brilliantly with the ipod.

Same cable, same hookup, but it doesn't work with the iPhone. (ugh!).

Anyone know why or have the same experience?

Thanks!

I mean if I have to carry one more device, I'm gonna kill

For some reason Apple elected to do something differently with the connector pins on the iPhone. You would have thought that they would have left it the same as the 5G iPod video... so we wouldn't need new adapters to do things like listen to music over our stereos or even use existing docks. My DLO FM transmitter doesn't work with my iPhone either...

I was just at my local Apple store and saw a Belkin cable that is supposed to work with the iPhone.

i have a JVC KD-AVX2 head unit in my car that came with a JVC KSPD100 Ipod Adapter that you plug into the Dock Connector and it works just fine...just cant pick up the phone when i get calls while its plugged it or the speakers make that funny noise

My car audio (factory) comes cd/cassette, and the cassette adapter for mp3 players works fine with the iphone. Are you ppl talking about a direct connection, or a connection thru an adapter?

Direct via a simple RCA cable in my case.

I have an alpine CDA-9856 with iPod integration and i can use my iphone and control it through the headunit. When i get a call, the music fades and the ringtone plays just like with the headphones on...i can even answer a call while its plugged in and use it like a normal phone, then hang up and the music goes back through the speakers...I have yet to try speakerphone though and see if that will feed it through the speakers or not.

You need the bluetooth adapter, homie.

My AVX33 works awesome with the iPhone.
