  • iPhone via USB - Hourglass Of Doom!

    Hey all,

    Had a quick peek at the last few months of threads and can't find anyone else posting the problem but:

    Since I installed the latest patch on my iPhone 6S, I can't do the following via the USB input and iPod source function:

    * Select any music using the "List" button (Button Unavailable! warning)
    * Play music directly from the iPhone through the system via USB. Song may come up but won't play and shows errors in track information, can't skip to next song in a playlist.
    * Whenever a song may load, but as above won't play; "Repeat" or "Shuffle" is automatically highlighted on the iPhone

    All above result in the never ending Hourglass of Doom!

    I've pulled the plug from the head unit and left it for 5 minutes, no change
    I've pulled the No8 20A fuse from the glove box which reset the system, no change.

    In the past, I must admit the interface between my iPhone and the music system has always been riddled with bugs, but I've never known it not to play anything before.

    Bluetooth works just fine, although saying that the sound quality is truly rubbish. It was taken back to Citroen to see if they had a patch to install on the radio but they couldn't help and said: "well it works fine with my phone..."

    Want to know if anyone else has had issues with their iPhones and the interface.

    Advice greatly appreciated.

    Standing by for iPhone haters and the like.

    Dave.

    So ideally you are looking for a fix from the car for the problems caused by the phone's new update?

        My Bluetooth music from my phone is really good quality. Clear and crisp! Mind you I'm on an Android 7 Nougat phone. Sorry never owned an iPhone and never intend to, but like WTF says, you can't expect the cars software to fix a problem following an update to your iOS. Not sure if there are regular software updates for the info systems though. I only have the Mono C screen. Which one do you have Dave?

          Unfortunately the phone manufactures then to be very slow in giving the update details to the likes of DS/Citroen to allow them to update their own systems.

          My advice for the moment would be to either stream the audio or place it onto another medium as USB, it's going to be a couple of months before there would be any up to date software for the car.

            So the issue is now null and void. It was the phone software that hadn't had a update but is now sorted. How about that?
