Just FYI. Picked up my car yesterday and hooked up my iPhone (3GS). I got the "This accessory was not designed for this phone" thing, clicked No (so that I didn't put the phone in Airplane mode), and it charges and plays through fine. Don't like the shortness of the cable, though..quite a pita if I need to see something on my phone, because I then need to open up my armrest and uncomfortably angle to see what's on the phone.

Is the problem the car, the cable, or the ipod? (ive tried 2 different ipods and same thing)

Just wanted to ask before i go buy a new cable
It's the Aux cable...jiggle it around until full sound comes back...that's been my experience, anyway.

Problem with that is that now you've got no place to charge your phone (unless in the '09s, you still have an actual ashtray).
