Night Fury

I have an iPod wired and have no problems. Are you trying to use BT? That will prevent some things from working since Apple doesn't support the Audio/Video Remote Control Protocol (AVRCP). For example Aha and Pandora must use the cable for iPhone/iPod.

 

There have been several people (myself included) who have had BT audio problems with Android v5 & 6 and AVIC BT 3.32. Falling back to the 2012 FIRMWARE seemed to fix some of those issues.

 

I found my problems go away if I am on some other (non-BT) audio source when the AVIC boots and starts playing. Then, after I see the BT connection message, I switch to the BT source (such as Pandora). But that is with my Android phone. Don't know if iStuff has the same issue.

Hi RonS,

              First off, thanks to you and your cohorts for the sterling work in making these updates available to us tech mortals.  I wanted to add a little clarity to the Pandora over BT issue.  iPhones do have AVRCP (as of iphone 3G I think), the AVRCP allows basic functions like Next Track, Last Track, Play, Pause and some basic browsing.  It is this AVRCP functionality that allows Track Skip/Pause of Pandora over BT when the source is "BTAudio".  When the source is "Pandora" SPP (Serial Port Profile) is required for interface over BT.  Apple iOS does not support SPP, iPhones will need to be wired and will not interface over BT.  I think it is SPP that opens up the more advanced two-way communication allowing access to station lists, thumbs up and thumbs down.

The following is a list of BT profiles supported on iPhone 4 and later, note there is no SPP support.

Hands-Free Profile (HFP 1.6)

Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP)

Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)

Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP 1.4)

Personal Area Network Profile (PAN)

Human Interface Device Profile (HID)

Message Access Profile (MAP)

This morning I discovered I had the dreaded greyed out Bluetooth settings on Firmware 3.11.  This fixed it right up, thanks to all involved for posting and hacking this.  If I get greyed out again I guess it'll be time to jump up to the 2105 Map set.
