iPhone Bluetooth Profiles

What are the bluetooth profiles for the iphone? I currently have a Motorola Auto handsfree kit in the car model IFH-1000. It works great with Razor, but will it work with my new iPhone? Motorola says that the IFH-1000 will work with any bluetooth device, but to work properly it must interface to bluetooth profile GAP or HFP. For music, I love the Haman Kardon interface that is direct wired into my factory system. Will this work with iPhone?
Thanks for the info

I like to understand a product before I purchase it.

The iPhone works GREAT with the Motorola IFH-1000 handsfroo car kit.

I am also researching a new product from Parrot called the MK6100 which should take care of the phone and music. If anyone has any info on this it would be helpful.

I just installed the MK6100 in my Mazda6 and my results are mixed. It pairs with the iPhone, downloads contacts, and displays battery level, signal level, caller ID from calls, the whole deal. It even recognized my iPhone's name which I assigned in iTunes. Now, I realized prior to purchase that the music streams A2DP which the iPhone doesn't do. (Yet. Hoping for that soon.) But I read an article that said I could stream music with an adapter. So I bought the Jabra A125s. The problem is, while you can pair the phone and the adapter at the same time, the unit becomes confused due to the two types of bluetooth. After a few moments, the music breaks up and it disconnects. The only way to stream music is to put it in airplane mode. No phone. Kinda defeats the purpose. I am reasonably sure that this issue will be resolved once Apple updates the bluetooth profiles to enable A2DP.
