Iphone / Microsoft Sync Carification
Just to clarify, you don't need any audio or data cable to use your iphone "IF" you sync the phone via the "bluetooth" method..... all you do is hit the voice button on the steering and say "Bluetooth" and you'll get streaming audio from your phone but if you listen to your music via this method, you won't have control over song, playlist, artist selection via your car's audio/sync controls. Now, by using a data cable, you have voice control over all of your music through microsoft sync. When you connect the Iphone to the car via the usb port in the console, it always takes several seconds for Sync to load or "catalog" everything from the Iphone. Then you simply press the voice control button on the steering wheel, say "USB" and then say "Play artist Jay-Z" or "Play track 99 Problems" or "play playlist Fast Driving Music". The exact same order the songs would play in Itunes in your home computer/ laptop applies to your car. I hope this helps everyone who might be having trouble.
