iPhone and 370Z
 

The manual states that the iPhone 1st generation is compatible with the Blue Tooth in the 370Z.

Anyone have a 3G iPhone working?

I'm looking to get the 3G iPhone. The one I have now (1st gen.) works well. But the manual only list the 1st generation as compatible.

TIA

Yes it does!

I have a 3G and it works great.

Most Excellent....Thanks

I think the only issue is the 3G wont charge while connected to the dock, only the first generation will, at least that is what I read, any input on that?

Actually my 3G won't play either. Bluetooth works well. Although people on the other end say my voice sounds muffled.

Wait, wait, not that I'm surprised, but are you saying your 3G won't play through the Touring model's ipod connector? Well, now I'm definitely glad I got the base.

3G works great with the bluetooth! And YES the 3G DOES play through the touring model!!! I used it this morning!

The firewire charge problem can be fixed by one of these passthrough adaters from Griffin or Scosche.

While it's more money, at least they're there to fix the problem.

Son of a b*tch, Griffin finally made one, eh. Not to go off topic, but I knew about the scosche one and was considering buying it for my iPhone 3g car stereo connection for my Prelude, but then I bought the Z. :driving:

Maybe I'll get it for the gf, as I was going to stick the iPhone 3G 30pin-Honda Aux plug adapter from my Lude into her Honda. This way she won't need to get a new charger for the 3G.

Bullitt you got yours to play through the connector without any adapter? I'll have to try again, but it didn't regonize mine.

Sometimes the iPhone has problems connecting to things if you're in 'lock mode' and you haven't typed in your security pin. It doesn't seem to do the whole handshake correctly if it's not awake and on the home screen (at least, other screens work too). Probably a power saving thing.

My iPhone 3G reports that the connected device is not compatible with the iPhone, and that it's not charging (don't recall the exact wording).

I would love for the iPhone audio output to be routed through the provided cable on the Touring model w/ Nav, I had that functionality in my aftermarket setup on the 350z. At the moment it's kinda disappointing, as I used to stream my music collection from home over 3G using simplify (and other stuff like last.fm/pandora).

I'm also having problems with a 160GB iPod classic only being partially read -- it seems like the artist list gets truncated and none of the albums contain songs when you navigate to them, yet it will start playing at the very first song alphabetically without a problem (if you don't mind going through tens of thousands of songs that way).

As I've said, the iPhone/iPod integration is very disappointing thus far.

My iPhone 3G works perfectly with the system.

Hi. My iPhone 3G doesn't work perfectly with the Nav/Bose system.

For example, I can't get the Nav to retrieve the phone book from my iPhone. So, on a saturday at 2 am I'm going home with my buddy and my phone rings, automatically mutes the stereo, the nav reads out #s like 310-blah-blah-blah. I pick up, hear frantic crying.... "I'm downtown at this bar and I'm drunk and there's a fight going on in the middle of the street and, blah, blah, blah." I answer, "baby, you said you were staying in tonight. No, I'm not coming to get you. Just take a cab to my house and I'll pay for it." I get home and check my phone to realize it was an ex-girl friend who had called.... and was on her way over.... while the current gf was at home, asleep in my bed.

Oops. The system doesn't work perfectly. (true story)

I have the iPhone 3G and the Touring Sport with Nav. The BT connection works fine. You need to understand that currently, the 3G only supports the headset profile so phonebook transfer is not supported by the iPhone.

One cool thing about the pair. I was on the phone outside of the car, and when I got it, and turned the car on, there was a brief silence on my phone (maybe 1 - 2 seconds) and then the BT inthe car took over and the call was hands free. I had no idea if that would work and I did not even test it intentionally. It just worked. I thought that was pleasantly surprising.

I'm surprised that it does. Apple loves to stall on their compatibility with outside systems.

I think the problem is on the 370Z headunit side, not the 3G bluetooth profile. In my other car, I have a Pioneer headunit and I can transfer my entire (or at least the first 400 entries) phone book from my iPhone 3G via bluetooth with no issues.

Actually the iPhone is notorious for not allowing phonebook entries to be transferred to a bunch of different head units. I have an iPhone but Apple could have done much better with the iPhone.

3g-s
 

What ever will we do on the 19th when the 3G-S is released?

No major problems with the 370/iPhone 3G linkage. Overall, it works quite well in terms of handing control back and forth between the phone and the head unit.

However, it is slightly annoying that you can't transfer your phone book. I'm not sure it's entirely fair to blame Nissan for that, however, given that Apple is rather restrictive about head unit interfaces.

The other annoyance is the muted/muffled sound that people say I sound like while on bluetooth. It's not too bad driving slowly in areas that don't generate a lot of tire roar, but I get a lot of complains about sound quality at highway speeds. Even cranked up to full volume, I often have trouble making out exactly what people are saying. I'm hoping that the new iPhone firmware support for stereo bluetooth may help this, but I'm not exactly sure where the weak link is (the iPhone, AT&T or the car's bluetooth)...

Phonebook transfer works from iPhone to Eclipse head units too.

The microphone problem is on the Nissan side as well. The stereo bluetooth on my old head unit with the same iPhone 3g was much clearer and I think it was because the microphone was in the driver's visor instead of in the middle.

I have heard there is a microphone sensitivity adjustment on the nav unit but I have not found any reference in the user guide. Has anyone successfully got the sensitivity increased so it doesn't sound like you are on the other side of the room for callers? Has anyone put in an after-market mic closer to the visor?

I am getting my 370Z next week so I have only played around with it after pairing my phone for a test drive.

Does anyone know if the callerid information is passed from the iPhone to the 370Z headunit? I have heard some people say yes but Nissan's bluetooth site says "N" for Caller ID.

On the 19th of this month the iPhone will have a software update. It say that the bluetooth will allow the iPhone be able to play songs through any Bluetooth capable systems. I can't wait!

my car shows caller id from my phone(iphone)

It's only call id'ing the number and not the name thought, right? If you get the name, how did you make that happen?

No name just number.

But if you entered the name/number matchup in the 370z stereo address book, it translates the number to the name, right?

I don't think so. I went through all of my contacts and put names and numbers in the car phonebook and still just the number shows

Anybody get anything new working on their system with the 3.0 iPhone release?

I actually got the opposite with the new update. I can't listen to my music when I connect the iPhone. I now get the peripheral not made for the iPhone message, it sucks. This was working perfectly fine before the update.

^^ Try starting your music and then plug in the adaptor

I'll try that, thanks for the input.

Having the same issue (see my thread) -- will try this when I get home, but have you been able to get it to work? Ever since 3.1, I'm not a happy Z owner :(

Ive had iphone gen1, 3g, and 3gs in 370z. all work flawlessly.

What firmwire versions in your iPhones are/were you running?

Mine works perfectly except for two things:

1) Can't transfer phonebook via blutooth, so I have the same issue as phimosis.

2) My Navi goes to "map" mode after I hang up the phone....pretty annoying.

anyone got a fix for the lack of phonebook transferability?

Any update on this?

Got my Z today. Still trying to work out if I can play my iphones music without having to plug it in?
