Yes, I do have that problem once in a while with my iPhone5. Also, for some stupid reason, for iTunes Radio, invariably, it seems to play some dumb, Duran, Duran song instead of the stations I have set up on the iPhone. This is less of an issue when I don't have it plugged in and use bluetooth. If anyone knows how to stop it from playing that Duran, Duran song, I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks for the reply, so It's not just me after all. I don't use iTunes radio so not sure on that issue. I'll try the factory cable tonight with a 30 to 8 pin adapter and see what happens as well as a 4s phone I have to see if it's the phone, cables or software of the car. My sales guy says he hasn't heard of any others with problems except a couple cases where changing cables worked.
