Iphone 3G Song Information Freezes

So I had my F700bt installed at CarToys where they ensured me that the iphone 3G was compatible. When I plug it into the unit (through a cable that has USB and the red,yellow,white connectors) the iphone comes up with a message saying that it is not compatible. However, the music starts to play and the bluetooth works flawlessly. I usually dont hit the "Yes" or "No" button on the iphone to turn on airplane mode because it works fine without hitting anything.

 

It worked perfect for the first week but now every time I drive, the song information freezes and the music continues to play. So, in other words, the song will freeze on 0:23 sec but the music will keep playing and even switch to other songs. During this freeze though, I cannot press the skip buttons or the play/pause button, or any tabs on the iphone control screen. To solve the issue, I have to disconnect the iphone and plug it back in.

 

I called Pioneer and the man told me that iphone 3G does not work whatsoever, even while in airplane mode (which I don't even do), so he doesn't know how to fix the problem. He said it may be best to call back in January because they may have developed a patch for the iphone 3G by then.

 

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to resolve it?

 

PS: I apologize if this has been asked before, this is my first post and I did not find anything like it when I searched the forums.

Just in case anybody has had this same problem (although no one responded), I went to CarToys and had them replace the Pioneer composite AV cable with an Apple composite AV cable.

All fixed now.
