iPhone 3G + 2009 Honda Fit + USB port = not working

I just bought a new 2009 Honda Fit and when I connected my iPhone 3G to the USB port, I got a message about "This accessory not working ...... switch to Airplane Mode .... " - something like that.

What gives?

Can I get this to work?
Do I have to buy a different connector?
Any help?

Thanks.

pc, Windows Vista, blah

I went through the same thing with my 2009 Honda Fit. Select "ignore" or "discard" on the 3G (you can switch to Airplane mode but then you will not get any phone calls as airplane mode shuts down the cellphone capabilities of the 3G). Switch your radio over to "auxiliary input". Your radio screen should show "USB loading" and then start playing whatever you last had going on the 3G. Unfortunately the system blanks out your 3G screen so you cannot control what songs/podcasts you want next from the phone. You have a bit on control through the car radio dial, but its pretty klunky. After I finish listening to a podcast I unplug the 3G, select what I want next and then plug the 3G back into the car.
