Using iPhone with Microsoft Sync

I'm looking into purchasing a Ford (seriously) Fusion, which uses the Microsoft Sync software for cars. Has anyone used their iPhone with their car's Sync, and if so, what has been your experience?

iPhone 3G 16GB, Windows XP Pro

iPhone =/= iPod. You could go Ford or the site for MS sync and probably find which devices are officially supported.

Edit - So I just went too the site. It seems the compatibility varies between different configurations and between different models. I just looked at one, and the Ford Escape Hybrid with GPS system and all the stuff supports the iPhone 2.0. Mobiles are listed by carrier, so some may and some may not. So you would have to select what model Fusion you are considering and what options it may have.

Yeah I have a Mercury Milan and I have gotten my iphone to work with the sync but using either the usb or the radio tuner it makes clicking noises with the iphone. It says this accessory is not designed to work with this device. Its kinda annoying because I can call at the same time with music playing. I would love to find something that would work. If anybody has gotten it to work let me know. Until then I just use my flash drive.

Only problem is the Bluetooth audio feature of the iphone has a hiccup every 30 seconds when playing through your ford. Look for the articles about it here. There are specific problems that MANY people are having with Bluetooth audio. Everything else works great though... I am hoping for a bug fix on this soon because Bluetooth audio is really an excellent feature.
