So yay for iOS 4?

Over on the Apple Support forums, we've noticed a large amount of users saying that their car stereos are no longer working with Apples iOS 4. update. Users report that after updating an iPhone (or iPod) to iOS 4, plugging the phone into the cars integrated stereo create errors indicating the device is "Not compatible".

The thread, which is just under 400 replies as of writing, has hundreds of disgruntled users. Apparently, devices using iOS 4 are not compatible unless the manufacturers bother to update the firmware on the head units, which seems highly irregular.

Users write on the forums:

 

The problem affects many types of stereos, with some sites even warning against iOS 4 on their websites now before buying. Some users on the Apple forums have found various fixes involving restarting their phones and the stereos at the same time, hard resetting both the stereo and the iPhone, reducing the functionality of the stereo, or even buying a whole new stereo. Apple is yet to officially comment on the matter.

Have you had trouble with your car stereo and iOS 4? Let us know in the comments!
