I use my Iphone 5 with this but when I turn the volume up the music skips during the song. Is this an Iphone issue or Bright tech issue?

I don't have an iPhone, but this does not occur when using it with my iPad which I pretty much use exclusively with the Bright Tech.

We use Ipad mini and the only time it "skips" is when the ipad gets too far from brightech or something is blocking the signal, like standing next to the brightech impeding the connection.

Only thing I can think of is to check the volume on your iPod. I have found mine is quieter if the volume is down on my iPhone.

For me everything works BUT playing music! What is the secret to make it play music with iPhone 3GS? I tried starting iPod before and after connecting to the Dock, but it didnt work. Besides using the DOck button, is there anything tricky? Thanks.

I just checked it by calling my sis. It does work on phone calls but NOT with the iphone speaker phone turned on. It also works on Siri. To get better quality sound for both your iphone 5 and speaker do the following: On iphone main page touch settings. Scroll down to Music and touch. Touch EQ. Then pick a category to your liking. I have mine set on Bass Booster. Hope all of this helps you. I really like this speaker.

I would say best option to narrow down the source of the issue is to try other iPhones, preferably iPhone 5's like yours, to see if it's not the lighting cable port on the phone. You know it works with your iPad air, so, maybe if you know some other people with iPhones, friends or family, you can test the unit with their iphones. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone and hook it up. Reset the phone, home button and sleep button held down together until the phone turns off and you see the apple appear on the screen, try connecting it again keeping the Bluetooth turned off. Reset network settings, try connecting it again. I have an iPhone 5s no issues here. If the dock works with you iPad than I would assume it has to do with the phone. Try those things see if it doesn't help. Do you have issues connecting it with other things to transfer data, like iTunes? Maybe try a restore on your phone with iTunes just make sure you back up your phone, but it does sound more like a hardware issue than a software issue. Still, doesn't hurt to try a few things. Backup your phone if you do a restore though, and know that any unpaid music will be lost with that restore so consider that to before you do it. Hope I could help if you didn't already try some or all of those things. You can also try this tech article from the apple website to troubleshoot it gives a link on how to restore the phone. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203284 and if anything call apple for tech support they might be able to help you. Update your support profile so if you call the rep can find your information fairly quickly. You can update your profile at https://supportprofile.apple.com/ last I would say if all else fails find your device manual and call for support their. But because your iPad Air 2 works with it, I'm leaning more towards the phone as the issue.

Haven't had that problem. In fact the music seems to "amplify" when I turn on the ANR. My guess is a product fault and you should contact the manufacturer for resolution.

May be a problem with that unit. I installed this stereo in my son's truck and his iPhone 5 connects fine.

I have an android, and all I can do is skip songs. It could be different for an apple product

I have an iPhone and I can control the volume either by the music play list on my phone or through the phone volume control. If you have degraded low bit rate music it will play low for that song. I need to clean up my music selection.

It doesn't really stay in dock mode for me. If it actually goes into dock mode, and you have a music shortcut on the dock screen (which can be customized) you can play music through the speakers while charging. But if you end up pressing the home key and taking it out of dock mode, it stops playing through the apeakers and the you'll have to undock/redock again to play through the speakers. Its really annoying. If you end up getting this dock and figure out a fix, please let me know!

Mine connected no problem to the iphone I have. I just followed the instructions that came with it. I could not get the speaker to charge though so I sent it back. I have an iphone 4s though. Not sure if that would make a difference or not. Maybe the speaker does not recognize the 5 for some reason.

When I am playing songs through the auxiliary cable, I can not use the head unit to skip or pause songs. Everything has to be done through the phone itself. (I have a HTC One)

Once my iPhone is connected, it plays music well, but when I try to use voice commands using Siri, the commands aren't understood. I can see the audio is getting to the phone (watching the wiggly line when using Siri), but the pickup is not good. When I disconnect bluetooth, Siri input works okay. So I would say it is no longer using the phone mic or something else in the software is deficient.

Once you get the music to play you should be able hear calls through the speakers. At least thats how my phone works but im not sure if its different for iphone

I just got the Blue Parrot B250XT and it played my music straight off of my iPhone 4 - not sure what the other people had problems with, but mine worked just fine...!
