Hi Randy,

I have not been able to autoconnect yet with the iPhone 3G.
I have not been able to get BT Music (A2DP) to work without audio drops every 5-6 seconds.
I have not been able to use the Phonebook transfer feature at all.

The only thing that works is manually connecting and making calls. and I have a complaint from my wife that the volume on hte other end of the calls is extremely low 😟

Do you (or any one else monitoring this thread), know of a way to update the firmware on the pioneer unit? (if there is one ... I was not able to find it).

Based on the reports on these forums however, I do not believe it is the Pioneer's problem, as my previous phone (BlackBerry Pearl) worked fine in ALL aspects.

I am tempted to go back to a blackberry ... better in car experience, call quality and battery life (unless Apple can fix this in a future update)

Havent had problems with Audio Drop outs...
No Auto Connect!!
Sometimes (after turning car off and starting it back on) I noticed that the bluetooth symbol on the iphone is grayed out instead of being blue? I think in the bluetooth area on the iphone it says not connected?
I've followed all the online instructions to "register the phone" etc... but no luck!
I dont know if the iphone 3.1 update will fix?
I saw that someone said that the newer model pioneers will work but I spent $600 on the 980BT not to long ago and Im not into spending $400ish (DEH-7100BT) more dollars for a new radio!! When I thought the one I was originally buying was going to do the trick.
Hope it works out!!
Thanks,
Randy
