Anyone get their iPhone to sync with the RS4 yet?

The bluetooth works, but I cannot get the address book to sync. It is late and I need to get some sleep. I will try again in the morning.

the guys at the apple store did some searching on the web and found a document stating it would NOT pair because it uses some sort of proprietary bluetooth and will require a car kit adapter from apple (which of course isn't available yet). i bought it anyway....pretty much the coolest thing i've seen in a long time. it makes my 1st gen iPod seem Cro-Magnon era in comparison.

i'll try to pair it tomorrow and see how accurate that info really is.

within 2 minutes of activating it, I was on my hospital's website looking at postop xrays of a patient I did surgery on earlier today...unreal.

when I first got the car, it took about 15-20 minutes of driving for my RAZR address book to sync (and I only had about 10 contacts)...my wife's STILL won't sync (she has a MOTO SLVR).

depending on the bluetooth protocol that they come with

for example, A2DP is needed on both the bluetooth device and the receiver for streaming music, AVRCP (or something like that) is needed for the bluetooth to accept commands from a bluetooth transmitter

the iPhone for obvious reasons has not come with the A2DP protocol which almost all new phones come with. this provides a purpose for people to keep buying docking products....apple has their reasons for everthing.

if the iphone did everything perfectly the way it came, then there would be no reason to buy accessories...think about it

looking forward to getting one though..seems very cool

I'm writing this from the phone. It is a very cool device . The blackberry does a little better in terms of typing and setence recognition .

Vey cool though

It's the kind of innovative approach you would expect from BMW.

In 2004, BMW was the first to integrate the iPod into BMW vehicles and have customers take full control of their music on the road. So it seemed only logical that BMW be among the first to ensure iPhone owners have the same ability to enjoy their music, plus the added benefits of Bluetooth® hands-free calling across our model line. We are pleased to announce that BMW owners can use their iPhone in this way from day one.

Please see the detailed compatibility information below.
