iPod connection inconsistency with factory Becker 6112

I dont have the same radio as you but I did have trouble with the first cable I bought. They are cheap. I would try to look for a different vendor and go that route first.

 

I have a similar issue with my 6112 with v4.0 sw - the Bluetooth phone functions will work fine, but an iPhone (5s) will not be recognized (“no media connected”) no matter what I try. So I can use the phone for calling, but cannot play music. Not that it matters much, I will almost never use either feature.....

I have been told to try the older iPhone/iPad connector type.

 

Same with mine are you using an original Becker iPod connector? I couldn't get an aftermarket one to work, but then I found an original Becker iPod connector on eBay and that does work albeit sometimes takes a while to connect. There is a suggestion that maybe you need to have the iPod connected before you switch on the head unit. Be patient it will eventually connect.

 

I have the Bovee WMA1000 tune2air(MI-30P), couldn't get it to work properly in my F430. Doesn't recognize under media, like when you plug iPod in. I went and bought Aluratek 30-pin Bluethooth Audio receiver, AIS03F, based on F-chat recommendation. Can't get that to work either. I've had no luck with either one, so not sure what to do. Sucks using old iPod, because it doesn't charge, which is really annoying. Any options or suggestions out there, I'm all ears. I have a feeling I'm stuck at this point.

Hello,
I appreciate the response. I will see if I can figure out how to set this up per your instructions. Also, since they updated the website, have no clue how to send a PM. I will let you know what happens and thanks again for the advice on set up.

 

That adapter will not work. I tried and it never worked with an IPhone 5S or IPhone 6. You need to replace the entire cable with an appropriate one with either a lightning connector or USB. You can get them here:
USB: http://www.discountcarstereo.com/usb-bkr.html
Lightning: (what I am using currently with an IPhone 8) http://www.discountcarstereo.com/iL-BKR.html
I believe these cables are a better solution as they offer simultaneous charging as well. Bluetooth does not, and you will need to then use a cigarette adapter

 

Hello,
I finally got an opportunity to try to get my "Bovee 1000" working. I was able to pair the Bovee with 6112 and it said connected in my phone. I was also able to get connected "MI-30P" under my Bluetooth settings. So both stated connected. Also, when I try to stream or play music from my Bluetooth, it's connecting, but I'm not getting any sound through my speakers. It's connecting to something, because I also do not get any sound from my iPhone once I play music. So it's playing somewhere. See attached pictures, when I go to "Media Menu" and hit "Ok button", the only options that come up are "Sound", "Detailed track", and "Connect iPod". I do not see an "AUX" selection? Let me know if I'm missing a step or did something wrong? Also, can you PM. I have no clue how to send a PM on this chat. For some reason I can't figure that out either. Let me know and appreciate the help.

Kaspar,
Thanks for the response and steps. Seems simple enough. I will try all this and let you know how it goes.

 

Kaspar,
Thanks again fo the help. Was able to go through the steps, got everything working, and steaming music.

 

I had the same issue with mine. I had a 30pin to lightning adapter, and it would connect up to my iPhone successfully about half the time. I ended up ditching the original, and buying the old style headphone jack adapter from becker. I used that method for 9 years in my old 360, and it always worked. I have used it about a year now in the scud, and it works great. The only downside is it doesnt' charge the phone, and you have to buy a headphone jack to lightning adapter for iPhone x.

 

Check my post # 10 up above. Both options work on the Becker 6112 in the 430 Scuderia, and give you streaming and charging.
