iphone 4 doesnt work with VW bluetooth

[bradc]

Hi,

I got a new iphone 4 and since found out that they are not compatible with the VW bluetooth. I called VW and they confirmed it, anyone else having the issue? Has anyone figured out a solution to get it working?

VW say there is nothing can be done right now, great! $800 bluetooth system for nothing.

Upgrade to OS 4.1 on your iPhone fixes the bluetooth issues.

Hi,

I have already done this and it still doesnt work, have you actually got your working or is the 4.1 something you read?

I'm getting really ****ty with no bluetooth!

Depends completely on which version of the BT kit you have. If it's the basic model, then I'm pretty sure you're S.O.L when it comes to the iPhone.

Ive got the Parrot 1.0.5 or something, its the original BT kit that came with the new 2007 FSI model. It has the little mic on the dash near the speedo. If that is the case, then I will go back to VW and get a new kit as the kit I have sucks anyway, it's never been very good to use, everyone always complains that I sound like im sitting in the back seat...

the fact that your car is a 2007 model probably explains it. iphone 4 being newer technology etc it wouldn't surprise me if it is slightly different to the iphone 3.
a friend has a 2007 passat with the same problem, VW told them they have to upgrade the bluetooth system as it will not work with the iphone 4.

Hi Brad
Did you get this fixed, I have a problem with mine too. It keeps disconnecting after a minute or so ... I've had both the bluetooth and the phone replaced - still same problem. Can you / anyone help? I agree - $800 -- for nothing!
