x940bt and CD-IV202NAVI+ VGA adapter will not work


Recommended Posts

Have not been able to find any info on this. 

 

I have a x940bt and its been running with an iphone 4s for awhile, I bought the CD-IV202NAVI and the Apple Lightning to VGA adapter so I could use it with my iPhone 5 on ios 7.0.4JB.

 

I updated the firmware to 4.6 from pioneers website and installed the kit.  I set it up and it would not connect to the iphone through the Lightning to VGA adapter but if I removed it and just plugged the lighnitng to USB cable in, iPOD would show up but not with the lightning to VGA adapter.  Of course I didnt have video so I spent hours trying to figure what I was doing wrong....

 

I took the iPhone and Lightning to VGA adapter to my computer and plugged it in to see if iTunes would see it and guess what... It didnt.

 

I contacted apple, after going through 3 techs that thought I was trying to sync it trough the VGA connection.... they told me the Lightning to VGA adapter does not support sync'ing so this would explain why the x940bt wouldnt see it...

 

If this is the truth, how does it work for anybody else? Why would pioneer release it?  Obviosuly it's not true, at least it wasn't.  Is apple making new cables that don't work?  Did ios 7 break it?

 

Do you guys run ios7 with iphone 5 on your x940bt?  Thanks for the help.

Alright, I figured it out.  You have to set the stereo to vga mode from 30-pin to use the lightning cable.  Its in the firmware update instructions but not in the CD-IV202NAVI instructions. This is what I did.

 

1. turn stereo on

2. go to sources

3. press off

4. go to settings then AV Settings

5. make sure the connection is set to iphone

6. go back to AV Settings

7. go to Ipod Settings and select VGA.

 

Poof, works.
