Iphone works with Ipod integration kit

Got the iphone and tried connecting it to the Ipod Integration kit. And it works!!!!!!! When connected, you'll get a message on the phone that you are trying to connect a non-iphone compatible kit. And will ask if you want to use airplone mode instead. Tap yes and you're good to go as if you have an ipod connected. Too bad the phone features does not work.

Getting the video and phone controls to work through COMAND controls is quite difficult. The current projects on the market which only deal with iPOD audio through COMAND would need to be upgraded.

just tap no to the airplane mode question and you can use it as an iPod and a phone, assuming you have the latest bluetooth mhi cradle.

Phone control is via comand or the steering wheel. If a call comes in while you are listening to music, the iPod application will pause automatically.

I finally got the mhi bluetooth cradle yesterday and I used my phone this way all day today.

So, what functionality do you have with the iPhone & MHI bluetooth cradle? Phonebook download, 3-way calling, could you elaborate? Thanks!

Address book and recent calls sync up fine. Call volume and quality are significantly better than my blackjack. I haven't tried 3 way calling or SMS yet.

How much did the cradle cost and where did you buy it from?

Thanks.
