djphat2000 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I have the latest firmware on the F700. It worked fine with my iPod Touch with the 2.2 update (I believe its 2.2). However, I can't use it with my new iPhone 3G with the 2.2.1 update. I didn't get to check it with the 2.2 update (it may have worked fine with that). If so, I need to roll that update back. But, I was wondering if anyone else had a problem with this update. I checked the search and couldn't find a topic on this. if I missed it my bad. But, I just wanted a quick answer. It comes up on the iPhone that this accessory is not iPhone compatible. Do you want to use it in Airplane mode? You will not be able to recieve calls while in Airplane mode. I pick NO and that's it. I can't use it with the radio outside of an AV device, and to charge it. I hate when thse updates break the features with this radio. This really shouldn't happen. Again, any help will be great here, thanks!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JwithL Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 If I am correct, all iPhones will say that when connected to these units. I would get the same issue with my older Pioneer DEH head unit with my iPhone 3G, but not my iPod Touch. It's just an option to allow you turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, Cell Phone functions to reduce interference. Everything will still work fine if you tell it no. I get the same message and just ignore it, has no impact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S4 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yea I get that with Avic and when I tried it with the OEM iPod connection in a loaner I got from Audi recently. Everything works OK though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djphat2000 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks for the responses! However, it actually doesn't work. When you go to audio soures (FM AM, CD, ect). the iPod icon is not there. Its greyed out and all I can use is the AV1 source to play music thru. Which means i have to use the iPhone to make selections ect. Yes this does work, but not the way it should be working. I just got off the phone with Pioneer, and of course they say its the update that broke it again. Are you guys running the latest iPhone firmware of 2.2.1? Cause if it is working fine for you guys maybe I am missing something. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it says "this isn't designed for an iphone" and I saw "ignore that, leave the radio on" It even plays video podcasts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djphat2000 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Your running the 2.2.1 update? If so then, maybe I missed something. But, I will check it again on my way home. Thanks for the input Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JwithL Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I was just on lunch, listening to my iPhone's songs, making Bluetooth phone calls and then browsing the web on the phone while it was connected and playing music. I just looked at my phone and it is running the 2.2.1 update, so it can't be that. Have you double checked your AV1 source setting? Maybe turn it off, then back to iPod. What cable are you using to connect to the unit? Does your phone charge while connected? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cranbers Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 This sounds like an issue with the connector, or the radio needs the reset button hit. It happens sometimes. I have had zero problems with my iphone 3g 2.2.1 firmware, so its definitely not that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djphat2000 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 believe it or not I haven't even added music to my phone yet. I am begining to think its that. Haven't had a moment yet, but I am guessing if there is no music on the iPhone, it will not show up as a device. Lets hope I am right. Cause my iPod works fine.

Beachbum Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 If it doesnt detect any media it will not. Same goes for video, if there are no videos on there it will not allow you to select the video tab. My iphone 3G has worked since the day i got my avic F700BT ( even prior to the F series update) but it seems as if, since the most recent iPhone 3G update that it takes a little longer to connect to my AVIC. Not sure if it is due to the update or maybe since the update i need to reconnect it with Bluetooth. It still connects fine and works good so i hate to re-establish the connection and take a chance on not being able to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djphat2000 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 yes, it works. it was the fact that I didn't have anything on there. I thought at the least it would just recognize it and show no music to play but, whatever. Long as it works I am happy. However, it cuts out on the left side a LOT more then my iPod touch ever did. I have to reconnect it several times on just one trip to work. What's up with that? Anyone else with that issue? I have heard of it happening to others, but its a lot for me. Any work around for it? Thanks again to all that have posted, been a great help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
