worked perfectly! Took less than 5 mins. Thanks, I was really starting to scratch my head. Sorry but it seems you are generalising when a lot of people are using non-US AVICs. There *may* be zero issues on US AVICs, but you cannot overlay that to *all* AVICs worldwide! Seceondly no whining from me, I just wanted a solution. I'm a big boy and not afaid to mod anything.

Cheers dude, much appreciated!

I am in the same boat. I just installed the mod last week. Went pretty smooth. Initially the bluetooth was working 100%, I recall having a conversation about how cool the mod was while on bluetooth. However a couple of days later the bluetooth stopped working altogether. On the weekend I upgraded to an iphone 3GS and today confirmed it cannot see the F900BT either and vice versa. I was with my mate at his car audio store earlier and we verified that his nokia could also not see the avic and vice versa. He suggested getting a bluetooth update off the forum (don't even know if there is one anywh

Ok, so it seems there is most likely an issue to be had there with power. Poor move by apple if this is case, as it going to cause no end of dramas for a lot people. Guess I'll find out for myself sometime late next week...

Thanks for adding that. I was hoping someone would put to bed reported issues with the 3GS, just as others like myself had done with the 3G and 3.0. It just didn't make sense that the 3GS would have an all new issue with charging. I can't wait to upgrade to one hopefully late next week.

Sorry, but I can't see the point. There is something wrong with your install if your bro's iphone doesn't work like a normal ipod when you hook it up.

If you can't even charge your iphone it sounds more like your whole ipod interface wiring setup is wrong. As repeated here multiple times there are plenty of people with a working iphone-F900BT interfaces and iphone 3G. Did you already have an iphone 3G before getting the 3GS? There is zero reason for anything to be different in connecting a 3G vs 3GS, apple upgraded the processor and the camera, otherwise they are identical. Unfort given the rest of the world has to sit around twiddling our thumbs till the 3GS is available this next week, I don't have one yet.

All releases of 3.0 since beta have essentially worked(give or take some early beta glitches) with the F900BT. I don't know what your issue is but it doesn't gel with the rest of us.

That may all change in June with the rumored release of a new 32gig version. I agree 16gig would be way to small for an entire collection, especially if you are like myself and insistent on mostly 320kbps quality. Mind you it certainly keeps me going when away from home. This weekend is a good example, I'm playing all the music I need off it.

I see, you have it more than well covered then. Only diff I can see aside from not have the awesome 160gb of storage, is that you have slightly more chances of having your iphone on you at times when you wish you had some tunes to play but are not carry the ipod. Maybe do transfer a few fav tunes across, never know when it could come in handy when ipod-less. Personally I would never have the time to fill a 160gb ipod, nor do I even have more than 15 gig of digital music right now on my media server.

Yes, right,exactly as was stated. Bluetooth music streaming is of course another subject altogether. Surprised you don't want to use it for music. I was hesitant at first until realised how convenient it was to have my music on it and stop carting CDs between different cars and home...

Yeah that side has never been an issue with any version of 3.0 anyway.. It's all been down to the interface glitch as far as I'm concerned.

Ahh cool, I haven't tried beta 3 pairing yet, since I'm always using the connector in my main car. I also haven't been in my other car to use the deck in that to try it yet, but will do so when I get a chance. I'll test the F900 later as well just for kicks.

Seen that and tried to see if it works on a Pioneer deck in another car that fully supports BT audio streaming, but bluetooth symbol doesn't come up on the ipod controls. This is quite odd as it goes against what the video on modmyi shows. I'm wondering if it's perhaps not released in the current beta of 3.0. On top of that I can't see any evidence that the F900BT has audio streaming capability, which in my case would be a highly redundant feature..

Oh well mine has charged since day 1 of having a F900BT with ipod interface. Guess my Car audio guys did it properly... 3.0 beta 3 definitely causes no interface playback issues off the bat also which is nice, not that 1 or 2 have proven to be that huge a drama to work around, just a nuisance.
