Bad Sound Quality from iPhone USB to Stereo

Hey guys,

Didn't know if anyone else was having bad sound quality issues coming from their iPhone and using a lightning cable to their USB on their aftermarket stereo. For some reason, it is like echoing almost and just sounds terrible. But now, if I close iTunes, then re-open it and start playing music, it's fine, but the next time I hook it up, it sounds bad again. This is really, really bothering me. I used an AUX cord before and played just fine, nice and crisp as a CD. I love how with the lightning cable, it stops the music, starts the music automatically when I plug it in and displays the track title as well. I don't want to loose those nice features, just didn't know if anyone else had this issue and had a fix for this.

Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to mention I have an iPhone SE.

Probably just going to switch back to AUX for now.

It most likely is your radio. My 94 has a kenwood radio, using USB it sounds great all the time. In my 93 I installed a Dual radio that only supports bluetooth but it sounds as you described, until I restart spotify or iTunes or switch to another input and then back to bluetooth. Then it sounds great.

That's weird, my stereo is a Kenwood too. 2014 Kenwood KDC-BT558U.

Maybe try another cable just to see what up

Yeah I will try that this week and see what happens.

What was wrong did you fix it??
