picking up my iPhone 6 tomorrow

can almost guarantee my car will have problems connecting to it

heres hoping it doesn't , anyone else getting one ??

Well after finally getting some wifi whilst being in Cyprus heres my 1st post.

I was going to buy it to just simply sell on for a profit. As every year they sell out then sell on ebay for double the cost. But it seems there isnt that much of a major upgrade to warrant doing it. What apple have just released other companys was producing 2 years ago. They need to get with the times and have a major upgrade. So no I wont be

hhaha i agree with you there, i dont get involved like the 'fanboys' do, apple vs android and all that nonsense. I've had iPhones since the 3G so I'm sticking to what I'm used to , plus I've got a macbook pro so its just easier to have an iPhone for me , and i was due an upgrade anyway so why not

looking forward to using the wireless hotspot mode though to use the laptop on the go, (this might be old tech i dont know , its new to me though haha )

Fair enough. I had an iPhone 4 for 2 and half years and loved it. But at the time to upgrade to a 5 it wasnt worth it so I switched to Samsung s4. Great phone it really is. But part of me still loves the iphones just for their quality

thats why i can't be bothered changing to be honest, now all the contracts are 2 years long i just find it too much of a risk to get a different OS to find i hate it

I was like what you just described robb, got fed up with paying more for an iPhone & I liked the look of the HTC one.
Factor in the guy at Vodafone I spoke to on the phone being an Arse gave me the extra push & if I'm honest I'm glad I did. I can do much more than the Mrs with her 5s.
I agree with devil too though I do still like iPhones especially now they are bigger but I'm not willing to pay an extra £7 a month for what I already get so I can have a 6

my phones on payed for out of the business account (I'm a plasterer by trade ) so the cost of the contract isn't a particular issue as we both have iPhones, I've got it anyway its pretty decent and it linked straight up to the car so smiles all round

How did you get on connecting it up?

My 6 is coming today. I've got a 2011 car and it's a nightmare trying to find out which mdi cable you need

in the same way as a 5 mate, I've got the iPhone 4 mdi cable, with a lightening adapter on it ( just the small block type one, I've heard people had issues with the cable adapter) and voila ! all works as it should, had no issues with Bluetooth either so assuming you had an iPhone 5 or 5s beforehand you'll have no problem

I'm going from a 4 to a 6, I've got an mdi cable for the 4. What's the lightening adaptor? I take it this is instead of getting a new cable?

Sorry if this is a bit of daft question.

Or buy an unofficial one off eBay for 3 quid

Thanks very much.

dont buy an ebay one just put your hand in your pocket and pay the £25 , the cheap ones are crap, some one do charging, some only do data transfer, id just play it safe, buy the official one and you'll only have to buy it ONCE

no bother mate let us know how you get on

Hey,
Just got an iPhone 5c so want to upgrade my Iphone 4 MDI lead to work with the new phone. How did you get on using the little block adaptor from apple?

Decided to go ahead and buy the apple adaptor..... Does not work! My phone links up to the car shows all of the songs etc but will not play through the interface. You can force it to play using the phone itself but even then the music quality is awful!
Looks like I'm going to have to get the VW MDI lead

If you experience any sound quality issues, make sure you try the different input sensitivity levels within the headunit as in the majority of cases this resolves the issue.
