I can't get my iPhone to play on my car stereo.

[Aristus]

I own a 2011 Acura TL that has a USB outlet in order to be able to plug in smart phones. For some reason, I can't get music from my iTunes account on my iPhone to play on my car stereo for any real length of time.

I've got the proper adapter and wire, and I can usually get the stereo to play most of a single cut. But then it stops, and I can't get any playback on the stereo, even when I can see it's playing back on the phone.

Any tips?

1. Maybe a soft reset

Press and quickly release the Volume up button > press and quickly release the Volume down button > press and hold the Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Nothing is lost by doing this, and it probably wont help...cant think of anything else. Cant hurt.

3. Thank you.

I will say that my iPhone is paired with my car for phone conversations just fine. I don't know why my iTunes won't play.

5. Cheer up, it could be worse.

First, there could be a conflict between playing over the USB and bluetooth. You can maybe experiment with that.

I plugged the phone into the computer to do backups and it says that the connection dropped after yay number of minutes or seconds. This is pretty basic stuff. Tried a bunch of wires (they are not straight-through) SURPRISE!



Went to iCloud backups, because they supposedly work. Conspiracy antennas raised.
