I've had a few oddball things happen to the factory system in my '12 Honda CRV LX since the past two ios updates.
Now when playing a podcast, via cable connect and ipod mode, the stop feature on the podcast on the iphone screen does not work...if I stop the podcast it stops for a second then starts to play again. I have to shut off the system using the "audio" button on the factory system.
When I have Bluetooth enabled on the iphone it dominates the connection even when using the cable and the ipod mode...the signal via bluetooth is weaker for the volume on the radio and I'm using a JL Audio mini amp with very good JL Audio coaxial front speakers...my favorite brand...If I try to use the ipod connect the bluetooth takes over so generally I have bluetooth shut off which also improves/increases the overall volume.
I also can't access my playlists and podcasts via the factory system using the ipod but can when using bluetooth...what a pain in the ass.
This is the CRV's software problem not the iphone or the ios. I have an awesome system in my Accord EX...Alpine head, Memphis Audio amp, JL Audio speakers...all our iphones connect perfectly and I can access playlists and podcasts, etc. but the head unit does not have bluetooth...older model...but that is not really a big deal.
If I had realized how big a problem the factory system was going to be I may not have bought the CRV but it runs awesome and is super in the snow giving us greater access to our favorite trails for snow shoeing that I did not dare get to in our Accord LOL...I've gone back and forth on replacing the head unit for an Alpine with a nice 7" screen but I don't want to lose the settings controls and I don't want to spend an extra few hundred dollars just to get them back...sigh...my wife gave me the go ahead to do whatever I want as she has even complained a time or two...I just don't want to drop over a grand on the system.
I wish Honda would give us a firmware update to at least get us out of the stone age.
Otherwise I've not noticed much difference since I've done the latest update...my iphone 6+ seems to work the same as before but I hope Pandora issues an update so it will play nice with my iphone and CRV so I can reinstall it...I do like using it from time to time.
Thanks for listening/reading hehehe...
