Stupid question - do I need the NAV head unit for this? I have the CDR-31 and I don't think I see AUX-BT anywhere...

 

Awesome.. I have been holding out for one and its high time I got the 4s!

 

This has always worked for me, even before the new IOS update. As a matter of fact i never used my phone to change the songs I have always used the function buttons.

I'm in the same boat, IOS5 has been flawless for me on 4 devices, iPad, Ipad2, Phone4 and a 4s.

All updates were easy and all denies had been solid since the updates.

 

Just an FYI that this functionality is also available with a Droid2 (Android) paired with an '11 Cayenne via BT (also Aux/BT). Music directly from the phone as well as internet such as Pandora/Slacker plays through the Cayenne speakers. Artist and track names from the phone show on the screen and can be advanced via the PCM buttons. With Pandora/Slacker the only difference I have seen is the artist/track info is not displayed but the track advance via PCM is available.

 

Why does anyone want to use blue tooth to play music? BT was designed for voice transmission and lacks the fidelity for music play back, you get much better sound when plugging your device into the USB port.

 

Who wants to plug their phone into the glovebox all of the time. Then how can you text and drive?

 

I leave my iPod nano plugged in all the time. I hope nobody is listening BT music on their Burmester system. It will be the equivalent of spending thousands on a surround sound system and using it to only listen music on AM radio.

 

It becomes a hassle to plug in and unplug on days when I'm in and out a bunch, on long drives or trips I do like to plug it in.

I don't know the exact specs of BT, but I will say that it sounds way better than Satellite radio.

 

Agreed, plugged in sounds much better than BT music streaming. For convenience I copied the music content on the phone to a USB stick and leave that permanently plugged in to the center console USB port. Use the BT mostly for phone voice and Pandora/Slacker content.

 

nice find!

 

Sweet. Haven't tried the bt audio with my 4s yet but what I love is that Siri is fully functional over Bluetooth.

 

Used the BT streaming before and after iOS5 and it works rather well. We have a Bose system and tunes purchased off of iTunes sound way better than I would have imagined. Just having the option to jump into your phone to listen to music while its still in your pocket is pretty cool.

However, when advancing tracks, there's a bit of lag and it on occasion the title of the first song played is still displayed even though I'm on a different track.

 

Is every number duped or just some? Is it only where you have more than one phone number stored on your iPhone for that person? ie a Mobile, and a Home number or something like that?

I have a question also - I've only had the car a few weeks, so when I add or remove people fromy my phone address book, do I have to do something in the car like reload the address book to see the changes or will I automatically see them?

Apart from that, the iOS5 download was a bit of a pain. Although I did it on the first day, at the same time as half the world was, so it was slow enough. Restoring all my Apps from the previously taken backup was a large part of the update time also.

And although I'm running an iPhone4, not a 4s, all the BT track identification works on the PCM.

 

In my case, it's every contact.

 

Had to un-pair and re-pair my phone after iOS5 installed to get it to work correctly. Now sends song info across bluetooth stream.
