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

[adrock]

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.

Just an update. My Fiscon and iPhone 3G (OS4) now seem to be talking reliably including downloading the contacts when they pair.
Deleting iPhone from the Fiscon's memory, resetting the Fiscon to factory default then re pairing with the iPhone did the trick.

Not sure which version of Skoda Bluetooth I have. (Have not had the time to check) but iPhone3GS with iOS4 works fine with it, phonebook, logs everything comes up properly.

Just need to work out Bluetooth Audio now...

Damn, I didn't see this one in time. OS4 has killed my contacts (RNS + Skoda BT). Calls seem to work ok...just don't know who I'm talking too. Good one Apple. And just to rub salt into the wounds, the attempt to downgrade the OS failed.

I can downgrade your OS for you. Only problem will be you can't restore from a backup that was performed using iOS4.

Checked with VCDS. My bluetooth version is 729E

Thought so. Do you have a MK5 (Red Dot Matrix). If yes, does your mute button work?

Both of the kits your dealer has spoken to you about are not the kits we are talking about here.

The Skoda kit is one that most dealers do not offer (some are however). It sits inbetween the 2 kits your dealer has mentioned to you and is considered to be the best one to get, next to the new bluetooth kit being offered on new cars ordered from July onwards.

Since the iPhone 4 is not out in Australia yet its abit hard to tell, but going off people who have the iPhone 3GS updated to iOS4, with the latest model skoda kits (D and E) there do not seem to be any issues being reported.

Which is great!!!

MY 729 C works fine with iphone OS4

Success!!

iPhone 4.0.1 did NOT fix my bluetooth issue with the address book. The address book was still corrupt.

I then installed iPhone 4.1 BETA on my other iPhone and it worked All my addresses appeared correctly!

So an official fix is on its way, so guys just be patient. It's in BETA at the moment, but definitely does work!
