Any iphone users out there ?

1. When you play bluetooth audio, is the coverart showing up on the screen or blank? (Mine is blank - error or are my Mp3 tagged badly?)

2. How are you charging - did you buy some accessory? (the phone has to sit upside down in the cup holder if you want to charge it

You can't share album art over a standard BT A2DP profile. My screen just shows pause/play (and next/last? - cant remember), no images.

Yeah, I use a 12v iPhone charger plugged into the cig adapter. I usually charge at night, so don't really use charging in the car. Some future SW update (6.14?) will re-enable the USB data link, at which time I believe you'll get a traversable menu of what's on your iPod, not sure about album art. Low priority IMHO versus the other SW issues.

For about $6-$9 you can get a short USB->iPhone cable that plugs into the USB jack in the armrest. That charges the phone and provides iPod connectivity.

My dealer said don't use it currently, Fisker knows using that USB port will cause Command Center havoc. So much so that my SE had a plug in that port when I picked it up, to stop me using it for now.

I have a super low-profile 12V to USB adapter plugged into the 12V plug in the console and and a retractable 30-pin Apple cable. I was also warned not to use the USB connector in the console until the next software release. The BT Audio works fine and I use the steering wheel controls for volume, previous-next, etc. rather than the command center.
