| iPhone G3 & NEW LR D3 iPod Connection Kit |
|
Guys,
Before I order the NEW LR D3 iPod Connection Kit, I just wanted to confirm from those that have a NEW iPhone G3 that it charges when connected to the adaptor
The new mode iPhone, the iPhone G3, can only charge on the USB pins of the dock connector, and many car chargers only charge on the FireWire pins of the dock connector.
I JUST WANT TO BE SURE IT CHARGES.
I would love to hear from anyone with an iPhone G3 and a NEW LR D3 iPod Connection Kit.
Thanks in advance,
Scott 2005 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue
- LR Steel Bar & Lights, Cooper STT 245/70R17 on LR 17", Pirelli Scorpion Zero 255/60R18 on LR 18", Traxide/Optima Yellow Top, GME 3440 UHF, FrontRunner Roofrack.

I too have asked this question and been told that it should - but that they hadn't tried one yet. I'd also love to hear from someone who has actually used a 3G iPhone with this new kit, as I'm reluctant to spend around £150 without confirmation... Paul

Slightly off-topic, but if it helps, I bought a Kensington £5 cigar-to-female USB connector from PC world and just plug my sync cable into that to charge the iPhone? TDV6 SE Auto, Cairns Blue

The 3G iPhone definitely works with the Parrot kits If you want it to steam music over bluetooth though, I don't believe that's possible yet. D3 TDV6 S 2005 - TorqTune, Privacy Glass, Remote FBH, 19" HSE Alloys, Boot liner, retrofit F&R PDC, RAI

Normal or the old iphone does, but the NEW iphone, with 3G does'nt work with Parrott systems. Checked with Apple and Parrot. Parrot say it cannot work as Parrot is only Bluetooth enabled, and Iphone 3G works on the erm 3G network for video messaging. GREAT!!!!!!!!, should have checked before I bought it.

My Iphone 3G connects to my LR hands free kit via bluetooth and also to my mates Parrot 3200 via bluetooth. I dont want to state the obvious but is the bluetooth switched on and been made discoverable? and have you the right Pair code? mine is 0000 but ISTR that some are 2121.
Any Bluetooth 2.0 device should connect with any other Bluetooth 2.0 device(or is that 1.1) anyway its just a thought mate, I hope it helps. Is that your head or as your neck been sick?

Bluetooth 2.0 according to the specs sheet
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
I had a look at the Parrot UK forums and they suggest checking that the bluetooth is enabled. I'm in the process of dumping vodafone for an iphone.
There appears to be an issue with bluetooth connectivicty dropping out, mainly with BMW's i drive system.

I know 4 people with the 3G iPhone paired and working fine with Parrot kits, so it definitely works. jcb - Whoever you spoke to at Parrot was talking balls - 3G and Bluetooth are different protocols and the 3G iPhone uses them both .
For anyone with a Parrot CK3100 beware of the latest software version 4.18 - It doesn't work properly! I've got a copy of 4.17 if anyone needs it (just pm me yr email address). It's not possible to revert to a previous software version via the Parrot website, which is a bit annoying when they release buggy software  D3 TDV6 S 2005 - TorqTune, Privacy Glass, Remote FBH, 19" HSE Alloys, Boot liner, retrofit F&R PDC, RAI
