@BigDzl

If all you're trying to do is play music from your iphone, then why not forget the cable all together and stream via Bluetooth? It's quick, efficient, and sounds practically the same...

Default Solution

I borrowed a friends iPhone 5 and there were no problems connecting his device. So the problem is with the iPhone itself. Hardware or Software ?

A complete Factory Reset and Restore for iCloud, did no solve the problem either, however it ultimately led me to the solution. I noticed that the restore put my music back a well. That got me thinking about the music itself having some bizarre problem with the new connector.

Deleting the tracks via iTunes and putting them back made no difference. However I finally found another way to delete media and apps if necessary locally on the device itself. Goto [General][Usage] and select [Music] deleting add data stored there. This wipes also out all the music stored on your device, just not selectively.

Once I reconnected, the iPhone was stable, then I added some tracks back and everything worked perfectly.

Just to clarify, initially connecting to anything with the 8pin connector never caused any issues with the music, connecting to several devices via bluetooth worked fine with all the tracks that were initially stored on the device as well.

WEIRD!!!

Yes, that is weird, but I am glad everything worked out in the end.

Just picked up my Optima last night. I have a non UVO head unit. When I plug my standard Apple cable into the USB port I get the charging cycling on and off. My fiancee has a Rio with UVO and her's works just fine. For what it's worth my phone used to work in her car and does the charging cycling now.

Have people had success using the 30pin to Lightning adapter with the stock Kia cable in a non UVO car?

Also, does the non UVO head unit support bluetooth streaming?

I have a 2013 Forte 5 door...had the Kia adapter cord for my ipod classic, but just got an iphone 5 a week or two ago. I tried to plug in to charge with just the regular Apple cable and it kept doing a charging cycle, off/on/off/on...

Was wondering if the 30 pin adapter would work so I could switch between iPod and phone (depending on what I had handy that day). Sounds like the pin adapter might be the answer I need...just wonder why the car won't read the Apple connector though (for charging purposes). But if the 30 pin will allow me to charge and listen to music, that's fine too.

I have an iPhone 5 with the adapter. Works good. 1/20 plugs I will get a weird no music error, probably because my fiancée unplugs the adapter to use her iPhone 4 and doesnt fully plug it back together. (It fits a little snug). Other than that, it charges, plays, allows you to use the display to navigate through your phone. Good buy, but like I stated in a previous post similar to yours on here, GET THE APPLE ADAPTER. I've been down the rabbit hole of trying to get the $5 chinese shit to work, it doesn't save yourself the headache.
