Make sure you delete the old phone first.

Default I have two phones sync'ed to my car

It will sync with either phone fine just not both at the same time. The car stays synced to my last used phone. When I went to switch, I just turn off the synced phone and restart to car with the second phone on. There might be a better way to handle the switch, but I don't go back and forth very often.

also, make sure you've downloaded and installed the latest iTunes/iPhone updates.

Default It's easy, just do this:

Firstly, the RS4 is only "discoverable" for about 5 minutes after turning on the ignition. Within this timeframe, search for the vehicle with the iPhone. Code should be 1234 I believe.
Second, the iPhone is notoriously sucky for connecting via bluetooth, it has trouble with the initial connection to many devices i have on a regular basis. Once connected it's works well.
You can't/don't have to delete any phones from the RS4, it will automatically remember the last 5 devices connected and the 6th device will bump out the first one you connected.

Default Can Blackberry's be sync'd?

What are the functions once it's sync'd?

I.e. WHat are you guys using your iPhone's for while sync'd with the car? Are there built in speaker mics in the car? Does it come up on the screen?

Thanks.

You can sync up to 4 phones, car pairs with the first one it sees after ignition on.
