Has anyone else encountered this issue? When I plug my phone into the car USB it says media connection failed or accessory not supported. It works fine on iOS 10.3.

It's a new feature.

(No idea sorry, haven't had the problem myself lol.)
 
I had this problem in my 2010 Honda Civic's stock radio for the first few betas, had to hard reset the phone for it to work, and it never worked with the Smart Battery Case on. Hasn't happened in the recent betas, but I haven't used my Smart Battery Case in a while.

I did have the fault you mention pre latest 2 betas.

Though it was only for an earlier bet 6 or later Ithink it was a while for the later beat as to resolve the fault.
 
Problem still there in the latest beta in my 2016 VW Golf R. It will occasionally connect for a short time and then go back to not connected.
 
Have you tried opening the music app and start playing music while it's connected? I've had some issues in 10 that caused the same message over Bluetooth but was able to correct it by manually starting music and then the deck would recognize it again.
 
Unfortunately the problem is still there in Beta 10. "This accessory may not be supported." and the iPhone disconnects and reconnects on a loop.

Is there a firmware update for your car audio-try searching manufactures website- I found an update for my previous Clio sat nav -as an example.

Forgot to ask, does car audio work via usb
