From Nano 2 iPhone +G35+USASpec PA11–NIS=Awesome

I had my Nano set-up for a while now, but a few moths back I got the iPhone. Since then I been thinking if it would work just as my Nano did on my 04 coupe. As many of you all know the iPhone doesn't work well sometimes on other Ipod accessories giving you a message when you plug it in. Well finally I had sometime to give it a try, after tearing apart my old set up I plug in the iPhone and took the car for a spin. Everything seems to be working fine just like my Nano: it charges the phone, plays the music fine, the steering wheel remotes works.
I love that I don't have two devices now, when the phone is plugged in you can still use it normally; when a call comes in it rings through the car speakers, the volume fades down and I pick up the call on my bluetooh headset; when done back to music automatically. I wish my car had bluetooh like the newer Gs, then probably I wouldn't have to even use the headset. But I guess is not that bad. Navigating through my music collection now is way faster than with the nano and way easier since the screen is so big.
Ok here are the pics:

I'm 99% pretty sure they will work just fine with the USASpec, they all still use the 30pin connector (except the shuffle).

Mine is on direct mode, that allows you to change songs directly on the iphone/ipod. It doesn't come set up like that from the factory, you have to change it. If I remember correctly.

Is one of the two, it was so long ago that I installed my USASpec that i dont recall correctly. But is on the manual just choose the setting that allows you to control the ipod.

That has nothing to do with the USASpec, the video is from my dvd player using the NAV2Go unit. Eventually apple will sell an iPhone video out cable, and at that moment I should be able to get the videos on my iPhone into the NAV screen using the AUX-In on my DVD player
