iOS6.1 and your Cruze

[WX4WTF]

Good afternoon all,

Apple released iOS6.1 today and much to my surprise, it looks like they killed that obnoxious "accessory connected" lockout screen when you go into your ipod app. Now I'm able to control playback from the phone itself and not forced to use the stock stereo controls. I've also noticed that the phone's interaction with the stereo is much smoother especially in the stereo menus and such. I now have full access to all my playlists where I didn't before. (I'm an iTunes Match user, so it has always operated a little differently for me)

Has anybody noticed a change in the way their iPhone operates now with the new 6.1 OS?

Awesome, "accessory connected" always drove me crazy!... I'll have to check tonight when I get off work!

THANK THE APPLE GODS.

That stuff is so annoying. Mine just updated tonight, so haven't had a chance to try it.

Good to know the wife just told me there was a update, downloading as I'm typing.

You can do multiple things at once?!??

Must be nice to have something other than a 4 that lags like crazy whenever it's updating things.

Mine took 30 minutes to install and reboot...AFTER it downloaded and processed in the background.

Feels so naked not having a working phone for that long.

Yeah I have a 4S and it still took about 30 mins. (The delta update was only 80-something megs) But anyway, I'm very impressed.

I can't wait to update mine when I get home (4S)... That accessory connected screen always drove me nuts.

I just wish GM would release software updates that would fix annoying things such as the ability to pause the iPod when playing it in the Cruze. Mine has never worked. I might be playing music from my 5 more though because my old iPod classic doesn't like the cold weather and resets every time I start the car.

Part of the problem with the connected interface could be the device. Don't blame the car. Both Apple and GM need to work together to make various features work.
