I have a Verizon phone 4 .3G
I just found I am running OS 4.2.10
So I need to update to the newest OS
I can plug a android phone in the usbport & it charges but cannot get the HC audio sys to play any music
I also cannot get any response from the 3.5mm audio jack
I stopped by the dealer & they messed with the settings just as I have done with no response
They said I would have to put the car in service. I didn't have time today maybe next week.
Funny thing is I just purchased the car when initially learning the settings when I would press the Cd/AUX radio button I would be given a cd player option then the AUX option but now that option no longer comes up????

You definitely have a problem with the connection between those ports and the head unit.

Overall I'm happy with iPhone integration, but it can be a bit flaky. Sometimes when I'm scrolling through the menus it will disconnect and I'll have to unplug the USB from the car (just unplugging from the iPhone end doesn't help) and plug it back in. A couple times the music was very faint even with the car's volume turned all the way up and I had to reboot the phone to get it to work right.
FWIW I rented a Chevy Cruze which had the same (or very similar) electronics package and had the same issues.
Bluetooth between iPhone and the car sucks. It works incorrectly more often than it works the way it's supposed to.
Hope you get your problems worked out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that upgrading to IOS 5 won't make things worse.

My ipod has been flaky with my TO7. Some days it works great, and some days it doesn't read at all. Also, has anyone noticed the chime that occurs when you plug in to the usb port? If you haven't heard it, turn off everything (hvac, radio...) and plug in something to the USB. My car has a chime to let me know it's connected but then nothing will play. I have a scheduled service appt. in the AM and will let you all know if anything is replaced.

just an update
took the car to the dealer for the 1K oil change
they told me the usb port & 3.5mm audio inputs were fine.....
I tried them before they had it & nothing
Now that they tested the inputs everything works as it should so either the inputs needed some sort of initialization or they did somthing & didnt tell me
my mpg has increased after the oil change as well 2-4mpg I suspect its the synthetic over the factory oil
