oh, also, can we play troubleshoot my phone? iphone 5s. my car has a usb thing that I can play my phone through, right? so I did that a lot.

last week, I had to restore my phone to factory settings and now it won't hook up to my car. the car sees that it's there (it charges via the USB) but doesn't let the head unit see it (there is no "USB" indicator to indicate that USB play is an option). patryk's phone is recognized, so it's not the car. is there some setting you can think of? I googled, but badly and have gone through my phone settings but can't see anything that would cause this. ideas?

Responses:

Normally I would say it's a pairing issue, but that's a bluetooth thing, not a USB thing ... hmm -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:54 6
- patryk thinks that maybe one of my pins is bad? that it's charging but not transferring data? could that be? - peggy ann m Aug 27, 10:55 5
  - sounds similar to what is going on with mine, where it will not charge, but - groiny Aug 27, 10:56 2
    - is it charging but just very very slowly? I've had that before. -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 27, 10:57 1
      - no, I get a message on the phone that says "this accessory is not supported" - groiny Aug 27, 11:00
  - If that were true, it would cause issues if you synced to your computer too -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 10:56 1
    - it's syncing slowly lately. like it takes several minutes to make the connection. a very good point. I will do some testing tonight - peggy ann m Aug 27, 10:57
