I love the idea of being able to plug into your car just as you would any other USB device. However, after a few days of testing my car’s I still haven’t found a way to use an iPhone adapter with it. I was hoping someone on here would have an idea.
That’s one reason why the iPhone adapter may not be suitable for use with a car. It’s designed to connect to a standard USB port, and a car only has one USB port, which if you’re trying to use your car as a phone, you’ll have to use your phone’s built-in connector. A car might be able to use a phone adapter to power it, but you’d have to take apart the car to do it.
I think the adapter would be great if you could use it as a phone, but it would probably get in the way when you get in a car with your phone.
A lot of car owners are afraid of the car becoming a phone, so you’ll probably want to use an external speaker phone that is compatible with your car’s phone.
I have found that if you use an external car phone, you can use your iPhone to talk to the car. Of course, for that to work you’ll have to install an app on your phone that allows you to wirelessly connect to the car’s Bluetooth. Apple did this with the car speaker, so it would be cool if they would make this available for a phone too.
I think that the car speaker is more of a niche feature. It won’t be available for all cars, but it would be fun to see what the community thinks about this.
That is a sweet thought. I would definitely like to see that happen.
Car Bluetooth can be a pretty neat feature, especially if it’s integrated with a car’s GPS. Of course that means it’s pretty easy to “cheat” and disable a car’s Bluetooth. It also means that you can drive your car without letting your car’s GPS know you’re driving. That’s a fairly common occurrence.
Well, thats kind of a problem. Bluetooth is a fairly low level feature, and there are a lot of people out there who still use a car stereo to drive their cars. Its not exactly a given that everyone has an iPhone, iPod, or iPad that can talk to their iPhones/iPods/iPads. So this is a feature that needs to be implemented.
You can simply disable the Bluetooth feature by disconnecting from the Bluetooth signal, which will prevent your car from syncing your car’s GPS with your phone’s in order to navigate the car. To enable the feature, you’ll need to plug in your phone into your car’s audio jack, then either power it on, or turn it off. Once you’re in the car, you’ll need to manually switch on the Bluetooth connection, then go into the menus, and turn on the Bluetooth feature.
