kupan787 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I am an iPhone Dev, so I currently have access to the latest seed of the iPhone software. Previously, when running 2.1 my iPhone would complain that the "accessory" being connected wasn't compatible but things still worked just fine (played music, charged, etc). Now however, I don't get any message on the iPhone (other than it is charging) but the AVIC after about 10 seconds throws up a message saying "Unable to connect to iPod, please reconnect." I've tried just about everything I could think of (disable bluetooth, enable airplane mode, fresh restart). So it looks like some of the changes Apple made with the 3.0 firmware have caused it to break compatibility with the AVIC and the iPod cables. If anyone here has contacts with Pioneer, I can supply a FEW copies of the firmware (I type in your device ID, and you can upgrade). Note that you can not downgrade back to 2.0 once you upgrade. I am not looking to just give out copies to everyone, but rather people that could actively work towards getting things up and going again. Or if anyone has any thoughts on things to try, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FTL83 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 thanks for the heads up man! I appreciate you looking out for us. I know this is off topic but if I'm running an original 2G (silver back) iphone, am I going to be able to mms? I forgot what website said that only 3G users will get that benefit. you are welcome to PM me to keep this thread on topic. Oh, and as an at&t employee, thank you for helping with iphone 3.0 software, it's already making people excited and I closed a few sales today with that knowledge.

VBLUE42 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 am I going to be able to mms? According to Apple, No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FTL83 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 am I going to be able to mms? According to Apple, No. any particular reason why not? I'm hi-jacking this thing! It's a bitter sweet hi-jack though, the more often I ask stupid questions the more likely someone from pioneer will see this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a bitter sweet hi-jack though, the more often I ask stupid questions the more likely someone from pioneer will see this Apple has said the 1st gen iphones will not be getting all of the updates that come in OS 3.0, more info is here: http://i.gizmodo.com/5171796/iphone-30- ... ed-to-know?

Bman69 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 yea i also tried the 3.0 on my f90bt and wouldnt play, it might be pioneer may need an update to suppose something new with the 3.0 or maybe its something apple has todo but nothing we can do :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a bitter sweet hi-jack though, the more often I ask stupid questions the more likely someone from pioneer will see this It's called "planned obsolescence". You'll never see an iPhone with MicroSD slot for the exact same reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mtnbiker717 Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 does the bluetooth still work with 3.0? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceywilly Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 The funny thing is part of this 3.0 update is improved API support for 3rd party accesories... they showed off glucose monitor accessories and speaker docks with equalizers that can be controlled by an app in the 3.0 firmware preview. I was actually hoping the new firmware might give the AVIC's more control over the iPhone, if Pioneer (or someone in the hacking forum) was willing to make an app I think they could pretty easily add some awesome functionality. Guess I was wrong though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ozdude Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I've been running 3.0 for 2 weeks now. I can report actually that I discovered a glitch which will screw up the interfacing with the F900. Initially immediately after I upgraded to 3.0 the audio was working, but I found the next day I was getting 'could not connect' errors. However, it seems I accidently stumbled upon a solution. Somehow if you move music around on the iphone, copy new albums, delete some, it gets the interface going again. After a second time having the issue, I did just that and voila, it was working again, fine for over a week. Now having gone to 3.0 beta 2 in the last 2 days I've found the issue has come back. So last night I had to recopy some music that I hadn't put back on the iphone yet, hopefully when I go out shortly it will be back functioning again. I'll confirm that it is or isn't shortly. EDIT: confirmed, iphone ipod interface is working normally once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I was wrong though. Aren't you being a tad impatience. 3.0 beta and the new SDK have been out for a couple of weeks. I'm sure there are some people who would be keen to develop such apps, perhaps even Pioneer given time(certainly not going to happen overnight with them). As it stands there's still plenty of time for people to develop avic enhancing apps to be available when 3.0 is officially released in June... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And once you reconncet to the AVIC, things are good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And once you reconncet to the AVIC, things are good? Correct. Be it playlist or however you have you music setup, in my case albums I manage manually and copy into a playlist on the iphone. I've had zero hiccups since the initial repeat of the original connection issue after the beta 2 update nearly a week ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeez I'm a tad slow on that, I haven't read modmyi for 2 days and bingo beta 3. To me the test of beta 3 will be whether it works off the bat with my iphone and car interface. That was the previous issue, which as I've said can be worked around very easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
