So, has any anyone picked up and iPhone recently and also got a cool car adapter/holder for our cars? I've been checking out a few from a few places but wanted to see if anyone else had anything yet. Something clean looking. Pics if you got 'em.

 

i got one and played its my mp3 player in the car for now.

 

I have an Alpine IVA W200. and the Ipod adaptor doesn't give me full functions from my Iphone. I have to set it on airplane mode and get it to work that way. Any options ?

 

really? i thought it would treat it just like an ipod.... it did when i hooked one up to standard din decks.. but then again they were the '07s....

what doesn't it do?

 

I got one and it was so lousy I took it back.

 

Just to add to this....when I connected the iPhone to the eclipse Ipod adapter it asks me to go into airport mode also.

 

Yup. I sometimes say NO on putting it into airplane mode, and it will play my music fine for 30 minutes or so. Then it will go homo on me and stop the song and ask me again to go into airplane mode. weird.

 

What firmware are you using? Maybe that's the problem?

 

yeah....on mine after I said NO to airplane mode it showed ERROR on my Eclipse screen.

Yeah homo is the right word to describe this situation..

BTW..the iphone is using the latest firmware.

 

sucks.

iPhone ftl.

 

It's actually REALLY REALLY nice. Everything is very slick and smooth. I like it a lot..just that it doesn't play well with some headunits....

 

I appreciate the responses but maybe I wasn't clear enough. I actually meant the holder for the iPhone, anyone purchase anything specificaly that mounts in an 07 Max to HOLD the iphone. No attitude, just following up with more info is all. Something like this http://www.arkon.com/phonemount.php

 

I'm going to try to make a custom mount out of something like this:

We'll see how well it goes. I'm going to try to place it somewhere behind the shifter. I didn't go with one of the Arkon mounts because I want something fairly slim that I can still swivel to go into landscape mode (coverflow ftw!).

 

I played around with one of those iPod speaker stations thing and put the iPhone on it to see if it would play my songs though it and it went into airplane mode as well. But when I manually went to turned off airplane mode and it kept playing fine. It also played the ringtone though the speakers so maybe that would work for your receiver.

 

I love my iphone, but it will never replace the ipod in my car. I have waaaaaay too many songs. Moot point though, since it doesn't seem to work with car stereos....

 

Check on ebay for it. I've seen some on there before.

 

I just picked up an iphone and wondered if it would work like my touch has. Apparently no? That being the case, I may try to find a way to mount my touch in a more permanent way and just use it in the Max. Maybe pick up a USASPEC kit?

 

I don't have an iPhone or any other crap that Apple makes...I have a personality, and am not a robot to mass advertising.

 

I fail to see the point of these posts , especially the last one. So you own what another brand of phone/PC/Any electronic good that also is mass advertised? Or wait...do you own a Maxima that is advertised to the masses?

On a more relevant note, you might try checking iLounge. They review a ton of ipod/iPhone related accessories and you might see something that will work for you.

 

thats stupid how ipod doesnt give this error but iphone does...another reason to not get that gabbage. Good luck to all.

 

I don't own any portable media device--they're not necessary. It's supposed to a phone for crying out loud--meaning you use it to talk to people (what's next, one that jerks you off?). But the real shame isn't that people buy these players--it's that every time there's something new, they "have" to have it, even when the one they had works just fine.

 

Im not against combing functionality into a phone but these little kinks should be worked out, especially on a simple based phone like the iphone. Iphone known primarily for its multimedia ability but gives trouble when used as an ipod and the one thing i hate is that you cant use bluetooth headsets with it. I'm patiently waiting for my next phone the htc touch pro. May not be as smooth as an iphone but the options are endless.

 

Too many options = frustration

 

not if you do IT Support for a living....or older than 15 lol

A phone with navi, mp3, email, phone and camera ability is not too much to ask in 2008

 

Wow. Forgot about this thread. I went in a completely different direction with my iPhone and couldn't be happier with how I have it set up.

I went with a Pioneer FH-P8000BT head unit, a ProClip mount with cable attachment, and a Kuda leather base.

Might seem drastic, but I was looking to change my HU again anyway and it worked out for me. The HU has built-in bluetooth and comes with a wired mic, so now I have in-car handsfree calling. The HU also has pretty good iPod controls that work perfectly with the iPhone. Additionally, the HU has a USB port, so basically I have a Griffin powerjolt USB cable attached to the Proclip mount that is automatically connected to the iPhone when I slide the iPhone in the mount. The other end of the powerjolt cable (that usually connects to a cigarette lighter charger) is plugged into the USB port in the back of the HU, so it charges the iPhone AND provides an audio connection to the HU and the rest of the car's stereo over USB. I can control some functions on the phone with my steering wheel controls, control playlists on the phone or the HU, upload the phonebook to the HU, etc.

 

very true, I have a Audiovox PDA 6800 from Verizon and at times It can be annoying just to make a phone call. Since its like a computer I have to go to start then scroll down to phone just to bring up the phone dial.
