Hi,

this is a follow on from the post by Boltsfan though I wasnt sure if i would get any response if i posted in that thread. I was about to get a new iphone 3G but will hold off until the S arrives now.

Any body have any ideas on the following:

i. will the iphone 3G S require a download patch to the comand unit

ii. utilising the voice comand of the iphone (and not the comand unit) can i use it with the comand (this would mean i would not need to get my contacts list into the comand HU.

Cheers
Maxy

i don't think anyone knows yet if there will be a patch needed, but my money says no.
as for voice control on the unit, I don't really think this will integrate with the iphone, but you could probably certainly use the handset VC and have it paired with the MM, and that would probably work.

but again, we won't really know till 6/17. I will have one soon, so I can test it out first day.

Anyone able to sync contacts over Bluetooth with the 3GS?

I don't think this is going to be doable no matter WHAT s gets added, it just isn't happening.
not the 2g, not the 3g, not the 3gs.

Unfortunately, you may be right...a bit too much to ask to have a 2008/09 MB and a 2009 iPhone sync contacts via bluetooth...
unreal...between Apple and MB we may NEVER get these iPhones to sync in these cars...

I have a '07 CLS 550 with a bluetooth cradle and it syncs with my new iPhone 3G S no problem, commmand center has my contacts and every thing seems to work fine.

Not sure if the new 3GS will sync data via Bluetooth. I know Apple added some more feature in the 3GS and 3.0 O\S update but I have not tried to sync iPhone contacts since I installed the new update.

The only easy option I found was to use my Blackberry to sync my contacts with my C300. With the BB you can sync your entire address book in one step. Then I just de-authorized my BB from the car and authorized my iPhone.

Well...I haven't gotten my 3GS to sync over bluetooth but I did get my dealership to upgrade my iPod integration kit to the "black tipped" connector so that it now charges my 3GS when the older "white tipped" connector would not...they did it for free...my SA (Jeff Smith) at Hoehn Mercedes in Carlsbad ROCKS!. HE also did my brake pad upgrade after 12000 miles as well.
This guy is THE BEST! Always goes to the wall for me...

I'm about to pass on an otherwise great C300 because the iphone solution seems so clunky. I don't have anything in my current car so any solution would be an improvement. But I think the best solution for the cars I like appears to be the BMW. A more expensive car by the way. Am I taking this iphone thing too far? Changing my car selection based on how it incorporates the iphone?

yes u are the iphone as far as i have heard can bluetooth sync with the car, as for it charging and putting the playlist on the mm im not sure but from what i heard its still not working yet, at least not on the iphones but if your gonna pass on a car cuz the iphone wont sync the way u want it to well then sorry but ur dumb.

the 3 series is as bland as a toyota

anyone who got the 3GS wants to trade or sell their old iphone 3G?

If the C300 you are looking to buy is going to have the MM package
sync the iPhone to your pc or mac. Then copy either all or just the contacts you want to the memory card (sd) or whatever you want.

Then insert the card into the mm and you can copy to mm package like that.

Do a search, I posted how to a long time ago

Had the 08, it needed an upgraded Bluetooth puck to work. Still have it for any takers. You need the puck with HW version 0706 and SW version 1007 3G and 3GS worked

Now 09, amazingly it downloaded the address book with the updated Navi/Bluetooth with zero effort.
