iphone 2.0 and Mercedes Bluetooth HFP Cradle

Anyone got any update on if it's working? I plan on buying the kit to put in my car but don't want to waste $500 on it if it doesn't work with the current iPhone software.

To make this clear.

The Mercedes HFP will not load contacts. That is the only flaw, it will work otherwise.

If you are wanting contacts you will need to get either the ViseeO MBU-2000 or the actual iphone cradle. The latter will charge the phone, but the ViseeO will support more phones than just the iphone.

If you do not want contacts then you have the HFP option

The Best Mercedes Bluetooth Car Kit

I agree it's the actual behaviour. But before the Firmware 2.0, the contacts were uploaded with the HFP cradle. So, as only an Iphone upgrade changed it, I don't see why we have to buy a new cradle for that, Apple has to solve the problem.
I don't plan to buy a new Car kit after each upgrade.

I agree with this completely. You should not HAVE to buy a new cradle each time you upgrade and Apple may resolve the issue. I am simply making people aware of the alternative

Hi All I'm back and unhappy. Latest from me is that after the upgrade to 2.0.1 my phone DID upload my address book. For 2 days it worked fine then I synced with my mac and back to no contacts. Latest upgrade hasn't helped. I have been back to the Apple store and asked for help "strongly" a "pow wow" was called! But it didn't help I am losing hope now and will change my phone sadly eventually. Have sent numerous feed back forms. It was suggested I ring apple tec help. There is a glitch that I'm sure could be solved COME ON APPLE YOU CAN DO BETTER FOR US.

Just to add to the trail, same problem here on both my 2G (2.1) and 3G (2.1) phones. They won't sync with my Mercedes Command. I did send a feedback form to Apple, but as they don't respond you never know if they are actually reading these.

Does anyone know if there are any web pages listing what is being developed for the next patch. v 2.1.1 (I presume). Would be nice to see if this is even on their agenda. As I only bought my HFP cradle in May for £240 (about $450) I don't see why I should now have to throw this in the bin and pay for some other piece of junk that may again be 'disabled' as part of the next upgrade somewhere in the future...

Although I like the new 3G, the cost to change has been horrific. (Don't even get me started on the docks......)

New update 2.20 sorts out this problem with the address book.
