Unfortunately, this doesn't work on the Nissan system (370Z or my wife's Altima with nav).

Wow really.. good to know - sad that it doesn't work for us Nissan people. =(

Love my 370, love my iphone!! They work beautifully together!!

I didn't support iPods until that were windows compatible, and cannot speak of how they work with Apples, but my iPod shuffle and iPod video both allowed me to simply copy and paste music into them using the windows explorer.

Just want to tag along with the other comments. Iphone works fine with my Z, just wish I could transfer my contacts.

I would recommend waiting for the new iPhone, just like you did on the Z. You could have gotten the 08 for a big discount just like getting the iPhone 3G at a discount. You waited for the new the Z so wait a couple of months for the new iPhone.

I love the iPhone, it works well with my 370! Just FYI a new iPhone will be released this summer as well as 3.0 firmware with a ton of new features! I would wait until June to purchase!

Um yeah...I love Apple products!

chrisw169 · 05-04-2009, 06:04 PM

I went to the cingular store today to get more info about the iphone and updates and what not, anyways they told me that they were not aware of a new iphone coming out anytime soon. They did say that they are coming out with the new software but that will just be a download and that they are not aware of the phone itself changing... Did they just not know what they are talking about or is there really a new phone coming out as well?

Anatoray · 05-04-2009, 06:23 PM

AT&T and Apple Stores a like are not allowed to talk about any new products that may or may not exist until they are officially announced by Apple. The 3.0 software was announced something like a month ago, and a new iPhone has been alluded to by way of patents, rumors, and a statement detailing Apple product time frames that mentioned iPhone's in June.

From that statement, past trends, and other evidence, many have theorized that a new, or several new iPhones will be announced in mid June. These range from basic hardware updates, iPhone minis, to a Verizon iPhone like device.

My experience has been the opposite. I think the iphone is an amazing device and has the most easy to use interface out there. My biggest complaint is the battery life, which is horrible. After reading some articles online I have found these helpful tips. Turn off Location Services if you don't need it all the time. Dim the screen down signifigantly. If you don't need 3G all day, turn it off. Leave Bluetooth off in the car if you can't leave it plugged in. I have done these things in different combinations and the battery life has been MUCH better. I know it sucks but you don't have to do them all. The screen and 3G are biggest battery eaters. That being said this device is second to none in my opinion. The 3.0 update will finally give us Cut and Paste and MMS. The camera does suck however. As a frequent flier this device is a life saver when on the road or airplane. Itunes is somewhat of a pain in the @ss. By the way, the Bluetooth works fine in my car although call quality is not the best. There is no new iphone coming anytime soon to ATT, initial discussoins have been made with Verizon, but Apple is locked into ATT until 2011.

I think the new gen for the iphone is coming out next month sometime. Auto features for increasing battery life were supposed to be addressed.

tvfreakazoid · 05-05-2009, 05:46 AM

AT&T sucks. I've read that a lot of people has been complaining that they get drop calls and what not. Personally i've been having a lot of problems with att. Tons of drop calls.
Why don't you get the new blackberry's or the new palm pre that's going to come out in june. Be different.

If I haven't made my feelings clear, my cousin wants to buy my iPhone when I replace it, but I'd rather destroy it Office Space style.

It's not the phone man, it's AT&T.

Yeah just disregard what I said about a "new" iPhone. To all who are interested in buying an iPhone buy one NOW! By all means don't wait.

Hi, I just got my 370z pg, orange seats touring, nav. And must say much improvement in Stero system for 2003 bose syst. But I noticed my Iphone sounds muffled over the blue tooth to the point I can't make out the the words.

I have attempted to just the sound, but has not changed anything--has any one had similar problems?

To those who have spoken with "experts" on the matter of a new iPhone coming out maybe you should look at Apple's history. Apple does not leak, plain and simple. You usually only hear rumors until the week of a product release.

Seriously, if you plan to buy an iPhone just wait a month or two and be sure.
