IPHONE USERS DO NOT UPDATE TO iOS4 IF YOU ARE USING VW/SKODA BT

Right, done and tested, both the 3G and 3GS, both running iOS4 are working fine with my Pioneer F20BT :D (it uses the Parrot system AFAIK). Not that it helps people with the stock unit, but I'm happy :)

please let us know if any of these fix the issue you are having.

Please read the links above and see if there are any other 'fixes' people are posting up.

EDIT: or even try deleting the link on the skoda kit and on the iPhone, Then turn your car off, Reset the phone (hold home and lock), then try and initiate a new connection from scratch.

Thanks!

Sorry mate for the delayed response.

I tried EVERYTHING you mentioned, plus restoring the Phone to factory default settings on the RNS510. It then said downloading address book. But after all that the same address book appeared. I am thinking it is to do with the earlier revisions as my friend recently bought a VW/Skoda Unit 729 E and his is working fine with iOS4. Mine is the 729 B.

I just installed iOS4 to my iPhone 3GS and all works well with the Skoda Columbus Nav (RNS-510). I have the 729 D bluetooth kit.

If you want to roll back your iPhone to a prevoius version, there is a guide HERE on how to do it.

I haven't tried this in a while. But while I was BETA and tried rolling back it wouldn't let me restore from my backup because the backup files were a newer version than the current (downgraded) firmware.

EDIT: My friend has a 729 E. You have a 729 D. I am wondering if this only affects 729 B users?

With the Bolero and Fiscon BT in my Skoda the phone book synchronisation has disappeared after the OS4 update.
The only way to make the phone book appear on the Bolero screen is to un pair then re pair the phone and Fiscon otherwise I just get the "phone book unavailable" message on the screen when I try to use it.
The iPhone and Fiscon obviously talk because when a call comes in from somebody in the phone book it's correctly identified on the screen as "xxx calling".

I'm running RNS510 with Fiscon Plus and iPhone OS4. It's all working properly for me, no difference at all.

My phone book has started downloading to the phone on connection but not reliably.
I suspect that if I have used the phone within a short time of getting in the car the phone book downloads. If the phone has been idle for some time it doesn't. I guess this points to something in the OS sleep mode perhaps but I will try to keep an eye on it.

I have the 729 B as of last night. Playing around now with it with my Iphone 3G and my Mrs 3GS. She has the IOS4 and I have the previous firmware. My phone book downloaded without a problem. My Mrs phone downloaded her phone book and it was all muddles as described. Must just be the 729 B version having the problems.....

Both my cars have the RNS510 with Fiscon Plus.

have upgraded my iPhone 3G to OS4, & it all continues to work perfectly, including syncing the Address Book.

Thanks for the find! I've been pushing dad to update his iFail but I guess I'll wait.
