Alpine Electronics has released a beta software fix for its newer navigation and AV radios so that they work with the iPhone 5.

The beta firmware upAlpine iPhone 5 updatedate may be downloaded at http://alpine-usa.com/feeds/promo/12avupdate

It addresses previous problems that occurred when an iPhone 5 was plugged into the radio including issues with music playback and steering wheel controls.

The update for 2 Alpine navigation/radios: the INE-Z928HD and INE-S920HD restores the following:

 

    • iPod music playback via USB connection with iPhone 5
    • Steering Wheel Control function update
    • My Favorites auto pairing function
    • Play/pause status icons with play control for streaming music

There’s also an advanced beta firmware update for the Alpine IVE-W535HD AV radio that restores:

    • iPod music playback via USB connection with iPhone 5
    • Play/pause status icons with play control for streaming music

Alpine is working on an additional fix for earlier iPhone models (iPhone 4/4S) running the new iOS 6 operating system.   In this case, some radios have trouble with Bluetooth streaming after downloading the i OS 6 update as we reported.    “A couple” of Alpine’s single DIN radios have been impacted with the iOS 6 switchover, said Alpine.
