Alpine's website states that it is iphone compatible:

Wait- I tried mine and it would not work either; I have the X001 and I got the same error- I got the "would you like to initiate airplane mode" error- Is the "high speed cable" the one which came with the head unit? or is it the "other" which plugs not into the USB but a serial-looking port? Lets get to the bottom of this.. if it works on some peoples, and not on others, it's got to be solvable?

Coleman.

The High speed cable is a different cable from the one with the USB (the one that comes with the Stereo).

Go buy the full speed cable (kce-422i) and thank me later TRUST ME IT WILL WORK!

hmmmm

CDA-9883CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver - iPhone Compatible!

Kinda funny... Before the patch I could control my iPhone through the head unit, but it only played through the iPhones speaker.
After the 1.01 patch I cant do a thing. The HU just says iPod and wont do anything. Just figured Id have to wait for another patch, But with the HU not being initially designed to work with a iPhone I really cant complain, still works great with my iPod.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

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,

it works fine without being in airplane mode. When phone calls come in, the music shuts itself off and you can hear the ringer on your car speaker. Remember people you need the FULL SPEED CABLE KCE-422i for this to work. If you havent tried that cable and you are posting about how it doesnt work, go buy the cable! Remember it is not the cable that came with the unit!

I am looking to get a new headunit for my EVO but i wanted to go with a in dash reciever instead of a single din unit like the IDA-X001.

Any one know if the Alpine IVA-W205 will work with the iPhone

EDIT: Just checked the Alpine site and it say's it is. WOOT WOOT

... Just realized something the other day.. The reason i was having problems with my iPhone and my head unit.. UNLOCK YOUR PHONE.. heh.. You Have to unlock your phone before attaching it to the cable otherwise you cant do anything from the HU.
Just thought I'd throw this tinny tid bit of info in case there's another idiot like me out there..
