Re: [iPhone] Bigger Fail Than Maps ...Bingo. It's great to just get in the car, forget I even have my phone in my pocket, and just switch tracks using the radio controls. |

I have thousands of tracks, I need playlist controls and I haven't seen an OEM automaker BT system that gives you that kind of control from the head unit. My 5-series can index through tracks using BT for example, but I don't have access to playlists on my Galaxy player. The handsfree BT doesn't integrate for voice control of the Galaxy player (so I can't just call for a playlist). I don't know if that is a byproduct of Samsung abandoning the player to Gingerbread the day it came out or what. It basically makes it a giant CD player with a gazillion tracks which is pretty worthless. The iPod control mimics the screen of the iPod including album art. |

Hmm... As much as it pains me to say it (not a Ford man), Ford might have the best OEM BT on the market. I wouldn't know, though; I don't usually keep an OEM stereo for long. |

I never have a car that a non-OEM head unit would look decent in. |

My wife's 2012 IS 350C can do it over BT from her iPhone - a first in our experience too! |

My car can do that over USB or BT from the steering wheel.
But on long drives I get annoyed at the lower quality of BT. I guess I consider myself something of an audiophile and if I'm going to pay for high end stereo equipment I don't see a point in feeding it lower quality audio to play. |
