How to Get the iPhone Working Perfectly????
« on: 22 October 2009, 17:57 »
Hi -

I'm sorry if this subject has been covered loads of times, but I can't find a recent answer to the issue, which is... how to get the iPhone working:

a. as an iPod where track listings are displayed on the satnav screen; and
b. as a phone which works wirelessly, i.e., bluetooth (I guess?).

I've just ordered a GT (sorry not a GTI) with the satnav option - what additional kit do I need to order for this to happen?

Many thanks in advance.

Adam

The way the topic is written I thought you were telling us, not asking.

Its already been covered, you need a different cable I believe. Something like a £35 jobby.

Wirelessly ? I dono.

The supplied cable that comes with the car will work the iphone without any problems.

However I don't think the iphone works with the VW Bluetooth offering. You would probably be as well getting the Fiscon to work it.

Hi Pipe, I don't have those issues with my fiscon at all, maybe get yours looked at?
