Philips DC315 - This accessory is not optimized for this iphone

I've just bought a Philips DC315 docking station/alarm clock however when my iphone 4 is connected I keep getting the message "This accessory is not optimized for this iphone - You may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength".

Have tried resetting iphone but no joy. Am I ever going to be able to stop this? If not I might as well take the dock back and purchase another model.

Anyone resolved this problem?

iPhone 4, iOS 4

"iPhone compatibility
Compatible with: iPhone, iPhone 3G"

Does it work?

Is the message just a nuisance or is it affecting something?

Yeah the Philips website has the faq "Does my device support iPhone4" and the answer is yes.

Yes the message interupts music playback which you can start again manually but then the error appears again 30 seconds later. Also even when not playing music but iPhone is docked, the message appears randomly which on an alarm clock in the middle of the night is quite annoying because it lights up!

Otherwise recognises the & charges the phone fine

Do you have a protective cover on your iPhone? I had the same problem until I removed the cover. It seems that it does not make proper contact with certain covers.
