ALPINE: "Airplane Mode Required" - No calls can be received?!?
Greetings, all!
I just got off of the phone with Alpine's tech support line, and they told me that indeed, with at least the 1.0.1 update to the iPhone that it should work with the IDA-X001. However, he stated that you need to place the iPhone into AIRPLANE MODE, to make it work.
I then asked, "So, does that mean you can't use it as a phone at all when you have it plugged in?"
He agreed with that question, and stated that the iPhone NEEDED to be in Airplane Mode when it's in use with the IDA-X001, via the sync port on the iPhone.
Can anyone confirm this statement? Because if I can't even RECEIVE calls when it's plugged into the IDA-X001 - I will more likely go with a standard head unit with an aux-in audio source on the back...
Many thanks,
