I have an '08 XC70.

The contract on my motorola cell phone is finally approaching its end date. I will be getting an iphone 3G.
Does anyone know if it work straight off like my motorola did with my bluetooth or do i have to go to the dealership to get a download patch first??

Cheers

Bluetooth should work. If you want to add an iPhone adapter I think you need to check first if the adapter can charge the 3G phone. 2.5G isn't a problem, all functioning OK.

We have both an original iPhone and the iPhone 3G paired via bluetooth to our 09 V70. Setup took about 10 seconds. You should be fine. http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

Thanks for the info. When I get the iphone I want to use it straightaway and not be delayed with an appointment/service call to get it up and running in the car.

Thanks again

And you've plugged the 3G iPhone into the cable and it charges? Charging was the issue with the 3G phones if I'm not mistaken, as Johann also pointed out.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - I don't have any cables in the car to charge either of our phones with. I have paired both of the iPhones via bluetooth without any problems and the menu lets you select which phone you want to pair with if both phones are in the car. You'll have to ask somebody else about charging the phones.
