#1 of 8 2008 G35 & iPhone 3G by hawkmanva Jul 14, 2008 (6:48 am)
I have the new 3G iPhone and the bluetooth works fine. However, when I hook up the iPhone to the cable in the center console where my iPod used to be, the message on the iPhone says this cable can not charge the iPhone and do I want to change the mode to Airplane mode so that the phone doesn't work. While the iTunes library shows up on the navigation screen, I can't control the itunes with the iPhone while it is hooked up with the cable.   Does anyone know if I need a new cable or if it just doesn't work with the new 3G phone?

Replying to: hawkmanva (Jul 14, 2008 6:48 am) Apple changed the way they handle charging with the last generation of the nano and rendered some charging devices and cables obsolete. This was discussed on a few iPhone websites.     My '08 G35 charges my old-style video iPod just fine - and plays great of course - but I haven't checked it with the 3G iPhone yet. I did pickup an iPhone a few days ago and can conform what you saw - it says it cannot charge - but hadn't loaded any tunes yet. I will test tomorrow music playing tomorrow.     I would think Infiniti could come out with a new cable that uses the "correct" power-supplying pins. That change would probably fix the not-playing issue since it sounds like the iPhone is stopping the playing when hooked to the now obsolete cable. Whether Infiniti will do this or not remains to be seen.     kc

Replying to: hawkmanva (Jul 14, 2008 6:48 am) As a follow-up I was able to control and play music from the iPhone 3G just like a normal iPod. I did say "no" to the Airplane mode question, and after that it just shows the iPod screen like normal. I selected a song and away it went     kc Replies to this message: jeffwilson (Jul 25, 2008 1:10 pm)

Replying to: hawkmanva (Jul 14, 2008 6:48 am) There is a product by scosche (www.scosche.com) under the iphone accessories section that I used in a different car to enable charging of my iphone 3g with an older FM transmitter - I believe it will work for you.   http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/210/sfID2/318/productID/1667.   It costs about $30.   -DAB">link title
