Does anyone know if the iPhone connection will be compatible with the iPod interface when it comes out later this month?

Wife interested in getting one of each - Mini and iPhone.

Cheers

 

By all accounts so far, the iPhone will use the same 30-pin USB cable as the current iPods.

We'll know more once the iPhone is actually released, but it would make sense for the iPhone to use the same cable as the iPod, for so many reasons.

 

I remembered reading somewhere (Apple offical site?) at the time when iPone was introduced that iPhone with be "compatible" with the car kit. Rather that means it will work as a phone or ipod or both remains to be seen. I will be getting the iPhone on the 29th and will give you all some feedback then.

 

I'll bet that the iPhone is going to evolve into the new iPod the thing to do is wait a year and get the 80gig iPhone for the same price as the 4 gig.

 

I got the iPhone yesterday and connected to the iPod adaptor and everything works beautifully.

 

Now, which ipod adaptor are you using? Which ones work with the iphone? Dice, Ice, Etc?

 

Factory iPod adapter works perfect. The music even fades out when you get a call...

 

This weekend BMW announced full support of the iphone and that it will work with the existing ipod adaptor and their bluetooth connection. I hope this brings the ipod adapter price down.

 

I have Bluetooth and nav and the adress book doesn't load from the iPhone. I have a few thousand contacts, so that could be the problem, has anyone else experienced this?

 

A few thousand! How many are from myspace

 

mostly biz contacts maybe its time to pare it down! By the way, I'm writing this on my iPhone, coolest toy in the world!

 

I took out some contacts and now it works. Now the question is how to filter the adress book to just favorites

 

I have the iphone and an 07 mc with bluetooth phone prep. Phone pairs about 75% of time when I get in car but randomly drops the pairing after some period of time minutes to a couple of hours. Anybody else experiencing this ? Any solutions ?

 

I don't have my MINI yet, but I see this behavior in my current ride, an 04 Acura TL.

 

I found the same thing. I did a soft reset on the iPhone & it seems to have fixed it. You can do a soft reset by holding the power and hold button down for about 10 seconds until the apple logo comes up.

 

I have an iphone and a new 2007 mini with navigation. I found that I need to turn the bluetooth off on the iphone everytime I leave the car. Once I am in the car I turn the bluetooth back on.....the car seems to then pair with the phone and my address book is downloaded and recognized by the mini. With my blackberry the car just paired with the phone automatically. Still not a reason to give up the cool iphone though. Hope this advice helps. When pairing I found it took about 5 minutes for it to download the address book so be patient with the pairing after entering the passcode.

 

thanks, I'll try it.

 

I think you mean the 'home' button (the circle button with the square in the middle) and not the 'hold' button.



I also came upon a thread in the Apple support forum talking about this issue.
