Problems With 2016 Head Unit
 

humfrz suggested I post this over here...

I took delivery of my 2016 Limited last week, and I'm loving it except for the head unit. I'm having problems connecting it to my iPhone 6. Bluetooth phone connection appears to be fine - I can make and receive calls. But I'm having real problems with Pandora and other apps. When I connect my iPhone via USB (as the manual tells you to) and select the Pandora app on the head unit, I get the white "Connecting" screen for several minutes, then I get an error message. When I use bluetooth audio as the input, I can play Pandora but the song and artist displayed stays the same as the first song - it doesn't update when I change songs or stations.

I notice that the manual doesn't list the iPhone 6 as a compatible device - it only goes up to iPhone 5, which seems strange since the iPhone 6 came out in 2014, and this head unit is new for the 2016 BRZ. I've talked to the dealer, and they're looking into it, but I don't have a lot of confidence in them finding a solution. Have any of you experienced something similar?

Believe me I understand Prmspen. I own a 2016 HyperBlue and simply do not understand how to get used to such a crappy head unit. It is so slow it's painful.

Problem solved!

Turns out the input jack on my iPhone was full of lint and crud. Cleaned that out with a pin and now it works fine. I like easy fixes.:cheers:

Head unit is still sh*t, but at least the basics work now.
