iPhone 3GS and AVIC F90BT work

Just wanted to confirm that my iPhone 3GS works just fine with my F90BT (with 2.0 fw).

 

By works I mean:

- It charges

- It plays the iPod

- Pandora works :D

 

I'm not sure if it's a "trick" or anything, but to get pandora (and all other phone sounds) routed through the system, I did the following:

- Opened iPod app

- Plugged into the USB cable (this is the cable that came with my f90bt)

- Waited a second or two for the iPod music to play through the speakers

- Hit the home button

- Launched Pandora

 

Just thought I'd share my experience with you all. :D

 

UPDATE:

So after writing this post, later that day I tried it and my phone wouldn't charge. Then yesterday, I was doing this and my phone did charge. I wish I had a better solution or explanation, but I'm pretty sure the difference is that inbetween I jailbroke my phone. So, my recommendation? Jailbreak your phone.

[i should note that I upgraded to the 3GS from a 3G, so most likely I got confused in that I was able to charge my jailbroken 3G and that's why I thought the 3GS charged when I wrote this]

This is great, I just ordered my X90 and was wondering if I'd be able to listen to Pandora like I could with my old Alpine.

one question about the 3G S: does it work playing the songs (like plugged in the dock) and the bluetooth conversation simultaneously?

It pauses when you get/make a call
