Another update: New iPhone 4 out of box works perfectly. USB port allows full music play, full Nav display playlist/artist/etc. navigation, power to iPhone. iPhone still reports the accessory error but it doesn't seem to have any issue. iPhone 4 is running OS4.2.
Unplug iPhone 4 and replace with iPhone 3GS w/OS4.2 and I get power to the iPhone through USB, Nav display shows playlist/artist/etc. but music will only play for about 10 seconds.
What could be different between the physical devices that the system wouldn't like? Note I have a 2010 Yukokn Denali with rear DVD and NAV.
You sure your on 4.2? Just curious because I thought 4.1 was just released wondering if yet another update came up and I missed it. I will tell you these friggin iphone acting as ipods with cars are being a PITA... In my 2010 Acura TL I get the same problems as described here. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt... PITA... My 08 Denali though doesnt have factory usb but I got the LockPick Ipod device combo and it works like a champ...
In my Acura I basically just use an ipod classic and let the iphone hookup via bluetooth. Its a constraint between Apple and vehicle manufactures. They basically get old specs to create cars and by time car is released with generally unchangeable factory software Apple on the other hand has changed its software rendering the factory systems useless most of the time. And do they care hell no they expect everyone else to fix their problems they claim they dont have...
PITA I feel everyones pain here... Sorry for the rant but this crap pisses me off because neither company (Car) or Apple want to take responsibility to resolve the damn problem its just a finger pointing game!
