Looks like another trip to FORD for the resetting...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official word is that Ford is working on a compatibility update for the iPhone 3G.dashturbo, I'm interested in the outcome of your update as I've also had my car's software updated recently to correct the issues I had with the Bluetooth connectivity and my iPhone but this software update didn't solve the integration issues I'm experiencing via the iPod cable.

So simple & you also don't need to enter a passcode for the stereo . Now the only issue remaining is the bluetooth for my SE P900 phone that doesn't pair correctly. (No Phone entity after pairing) Phone cost $1300.00 - Car $47,000 - Ford should also sell fully compatible Phones. I hope the updates that members are mentioning of will resolve this otherwise its another new phone - but which one?Cheers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have decided to keep it for its ipod charging and still run an AUX lead aswell- so in the end it was a pretty expensive ipod holder :(Let me know if anyone is running one of these and thinks higher of them, maybe I am doing something wrong...

Nice idea with a cradle and all but it just doesn't cut it....I don't use it anymore.HOWEVER...If you want a recommendation on a really effective transmitter, I finally found one about a year ago by sussing out many reviews and comments on the net. What I found and bought was one called an AudiaX. Great strong reception and nothing interferes with it. Small...but a real good little performer. Trouble is it won't charge your Pod but if you can live without that capability, the AudiaX will not disappoint!Not sure if you can still get AudiaX as I got mine some time ago. But if you can still get it....I can highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
