Hey guys, I wanted to update! I just spent 10 minutes in my car just fiddling with the iPhone 3G. I don't know HOW I did it, but I got my iPhone integrated with the DIS!!!!
Again, I don't know exactly how, but I can give you all the information I can about it.
Fire and foremost, I used the special Hyundai iPod cord ($29.99). Don't use your normal iPhone USB cord.
One of the first signs that you're on sort of the right track would be that your car at least recognizes a device as an iPod and saysing "Initializing." The first couple time I plugged in my iPhone, I didn't even get this message. All I got was "No external device detected." So if you get the "Initializing" message you're on the right track. At that point you will see behind the "Initializing" message that the screen reads
iPod
USB
Aux (I think, don't remember for sure)
Settings
For me, the "Initializing" message wouldn't stop at first. I just let it sit for a few minutes with no results. I did this several times with no success. So at some point after unplugging and replugging, exiting from iPod mode and re-entering iPod mode, and even restarting my iPhone. Randomly, I saw that one time I went into iPod mode on the iPhone, the normal menu didn't come up, but instead the "Accessory Attached" screen came up. This is when you will probably see the "This accessory is not designed for the iPhone...blah blah blah" message. It will ask you to turn on airplane mode, just say "NO" to that and then your DIS should enter iPod mode! After succeeding to get it to work once, I unplugged it and replugged it several times to see if it would still work and it did.
I know this isn't a lot of help. My best advice is to just take 10 minutes or whatever and just do what I did. Try EVERYTHING. The key sign again is when your iPhone says "Accessory Attached" when you plug it into the Genesis.
You have access to almost all the features you would on your iPhone. You can browse by song, artist, composer, album, recently added, most played, etc. The only thing that I wasn't immediately able to find was a Shuffle/Random mode. This sucks since that's almost all I use when I listen to my music, but hell, I can't complain at this point. I will experiment with this in the future to try and offer some more help. If you guys want, I can take some pictures/video of it working.
You MUST control the music through the Genesis. You can't control the music through the iPhone once it's connected since all you see is the "Accessory Attached" screen. So you can use the mix of the steering
wheel controls and the main console.
Enjoy!
