iPhone 3g questions...
ok... so i'm sure that plugging in an iphone to the usb outlet will let the stereo control the ipod part of the iphone... but here is my main question... will the bluetooth still work while it is connected to the radio? and will the 3G iPhone charge when connected?
the reason I ask the second question about the 3G charging is because the new 3G phone is not as compatible with charging as the old iPhone and regular ipods... i know not too many people have had access to the car, but good guesses are always welcome |

I have the original iPhone and went to the dealer today and plugged it into a CTS with the "same" connectivity package as the camaro. That's what the Gm said, I'm not sure if it's true. The iPhone immediatley connected and was charging. I turned it on and switched to aux and my songs started playing. Maybe you should try the same thing and let us know what you find out.

The 3G probably will not charge ,but it will play music and the bluetooth will work while connected . My 1g iphone charge ,but the 3G will not.

Ok, I have had my 3G in Number 3. It will charge, and you can recieve calls over bluetooth while it is connected via the USB and playing music. Just talked to my wife 5 minutes ago. When you hang up, your music starts playing again.
Very nice. The only issue I have is the iphone (and apparently other apple products) are not configured to stream the music using bluetooth.

That means I can use my 13 inch Studio XPS laptop, I have an internal bluetooth module that supports: Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) and also HFP1.5 which means that I can stream music from my laptop via Windows Media Player, not to mention I can charge it at the same time something I can't do with my MyGiG without modding the software, the Camaro may not have nav but THIS IS SOME FLY SHIT Edit- I not sure you are able to do this with a Macbook and I tunes because apples bluetooth modules are weird, let me look into this

I do have one question though, when plugged in, do you lose control of the iPhones MP3 player and is it soley controled through the head unit? or does it still allow you to choose music from the phone directly without having to unplug it? Or is there an option in the head unit (such is the case in my after market Pioneer in my FJ) that allows you to control the iPhone from the head unit AND from the iPhone at the same time? |

If it interfaces with the head unit, it should work, the knobs on the steering wheel

i havent had a chance to check it on a camaro.i just assumed you couldn't,because on my alpine a 1G charges and the 3G does not .But then again my alpine does not use a usb ,it uses a special cable. I hadn't thought about that before answering .
