Iphone Not Connecting
Huge issue for me as music is essential
Car: XK 2011
Phones: Iphone 6s, Iphone 7
Both phones will not connect to the car via the iPhone connection or the USB connection. I have no issue with the bluetooth just with the music connection. Started after one of the more recent updates, been unable to connect for months now.
Any ideas?

Possibilities:
- If it used to work, it's probably the Apple & USB adapter in the centre console box - mine went south a while back.
- If it's never worked, are you using a genuine Apple 32-pin-to-Lighting adapter? Third-party ones don't always work.

Thanks for responses.
2011 does not have bluetooth streaming. Have search various threads on the boards, looking for a better solution than to put my music on a USB stick. Seems like many others are having this issue....
I'm currently using the Jaguar Audio AUX cable which is a 30 pin. It's from the dealership/came with the car. Then I have an apple adapter (jaguar part is for old APPL port) that converts it from the old port to the new port. It's always worked until an update or two ago with iPhone. (Did disconnect randomly at times but worked)
Tried connecting a USB drive to the USB connector with music files on it and it worked seamlessly, so I don't believe it's the port in the actual car.
Perhaps I will get a new AUX cable to see if that helps as it's one potential variable although I have my doubts because it stopped working immediately after the update.

Your car wont stream music even though the phone is connected. Buy an old Ipod for $40 from E bay and download your songs to it. Leave the ipod plugged in to the 30 pin connector permanently. No need to touch it again. Ipod will shut down after a few minutes of non use so no car battery worries and the Ipod is always fully charged.
This is what I did and it works great.
