iOS 4.1 breaks iPod feature over USB?

I upgraded to iOS 4 on my iPhone 4 last night and everything went well. This morning, I plugged my iPhone into my car stereo using the USB port (something I do on a daily basis) to listen to music on the way to work. In about 5 seconds, I noticed that the music kept cutting out. I unplugged the USB and plugged it back in thinking maybe there was a connection issue. I got the same result - the music kept cutting out. When I listen to the iPod through the speakers on the iPhone, it was working fine. Has anyone else run into this issue?

 

Awesome, I will try that this afternoon. Thanks for the help.

 

Tried both of these things out and still no joy. I may try wiping and doing a clean restore tonight and try again.

 

I actually didn't the first time, but I did after I read this. It made the sound drop less frequently, but it still drops out every 25-30 seconds. It's strange because it shows on my stereo that it is still playing (e.g. goes from 11 seconds to 12 to 13 without skipping) but no sound is coming out. The sound will drop for about 2-3 seconds (sometimes longer) and then magically pick back up where it is in the song. So, I lose 2 or 3 seconds of the song each time it does this. Apparently it's doing it over bluetooth as well (a LOT less often, maybe once per song) and seems to be negatively affected if I'm running Maps. When I run Maps, the songs play in slow motion. I've tried closing everything except the iPod app and it still does this. It's driving me crazy.
