Default put it in airplane mode first

I have been told this helps/protects the phone. It may be bs, but is easy to do and worth the hassle....

Default Yah. Works for me.

Sorta, if you can tolerate the craptacular user interface on the radio/nav system. Basically, it maps CD disc changer to the ipod function of the phone:

Discs in the disc changer are mapped to playlists.
Track numbers on a disc are mapped to individual songs.

So, no name/artist/album info.

But it charges the phone, which is nice.

One thing to be wary of: the dock doesn't support the iphone well; it kinda hangs in space. I've been meaning to build a little foam platform or something to prop it up.

Default works fine, but...

the phone can go a little nuts sometimes. Blank screens, no service, etc. All of this after unplugging it. Also, it can get really hot. I have been using it for a while and have not fried the phone yet. Sometimes you need to do a power on and off to reset the phone.
