Iphone funcionality is always a few weeks behind droids because.. well. It is an Apple lol.. as far as I know the function works with droids but not iphone's as of now.. probably in a few weeks it will work..

if anyone has a better or more accurate reason or understanding.. please add to this

 

Tethered or untethered?

 

I had it plugged into the car as well to test out the iPod functionality, but the phone functions run through the Bluetooth connection as near as I can tell.

 

Hmmm. There will be a lot of upset people if this doesn't work. According to the InTouch manual, MAP (Message Access Profile) is required for this to work over Bluetooth. iPhone 4 and up support MAP.

OK... more reason for concern. The manual refers to a website (below) that shows bluetooth compatibility. The Q is not listed, but I checked the 2014 QX w/nav. For the iPhone 5, the document shows:

Receive an SMS text message: NA
Send an SMS text message: NA

It also shows Wireless Audio Streaming is not supported:
Wireless Audio Streaming: NA

Again, not the Q document. Perhaps we are OK, since NA is described as "[NA] = Feature is not available with this Bluetooth system", yet we know that is not the case in the Q...

I will be really disappointed if this ends up being the case....

This is a major disappointment. Now I'm going to have to give up my iPhone for a droid to be able to use this?

 

You'll be happier when you realize how much more you can do with an android phone and how limiting Apple is on smart phone customizations

 

Q50 Compatibility Chart

Here's the chart for the Q50. SMS receive but not send; streaming available.

Another interesting bit... InTouch Apps are only supported with the iPhone plugged in. Android is only supported via Bluetooth.

 

All cars that have apps like Lexus and bmw require iPhones to be plugged in, Android can stay in your pocket, purse, briefcase

 

My phone was plugged in but that option on the InTouch system said it was not compatible. Can someone else experiment with it?

 

Probably because you didn't have the InTouch app installed on your phone - its not available in the App Store as of yet.

 

Most people do not have iPhones, Android is 50% of the us market and over 70% of the world market

 

The iphone & android app for the Q50 is not available from the app store yet. But it is available from here. Use your smartphone browser.

Your dealer will make you fill out a form with the pertinent details (user name and password) once you purchase/lease. I already filled mine this afternoon, purchasing Saturday.

 

Unless your ios device is jailbroken, you can't install apps from anywhere other than the Apple App Store, so it's a bit strange to see listed here - at least for ios.

Your statement is simply not true. Companies are able to set up their own internal app stores. My company does. They maintain a list of enterprise licensed apps and apps built internally. The link provided here is not intended for consumers thus requiring authentication internal to Infiniti.

 

Iphone text function will be available in the fall update..
I actully had my manager email them about this today..

 

I don't have an iphone, but when is the fall update, and what else will be in it?

 

iOS 7 is expected to be released sometime inSeptember. I expect the Infinti update will be some time soon after that.

 

Gandhi - That's my thinking too. I just made such a comment in another thread. I still haven't received an answer as to the support for 'iOS in the Car' after iOS 7 is released. I want to know if the Q50 intends to support it once released.

 

Has anyone gotten this to work?

 

Texting in the Q50 seems to work with Android and Blackberry right now. Not sure about Windows. iPhone date TBD. My guess (just a guess) is that we'll see it with the software update currently scheduled for September that will allow side-loading of apps from a tethered iPhone (or, I think, BT-linked Android). Doesn't matter if you have iPhone 4s or 5, neither work.

Remember, however, that you can get Siri to read you your text messages, and you can dictate them to the phone over BT. So we're talking about a small feature-add here, not the world-ending dealbreaker some people want to make it out to be.

 

I agree this small feature is not a deal breaker. However, it could be an indication of issues that Nissan/Infiniti did not work out with Apple and similar incompatibilities we see with Apple and other interfaces. If Infiniti didn't prepare this car for 'iOS in the Car' on the release of IOS7, Apple consumers will NOT be happy. Native integration needs to happen. Infiniti has gone too long with 'work arounds' and not-always-working features for iPhones. I've had constant problems with both of my Infiniti vehicles, one a 2011 and one a 2010.

 

do u love the car? give up the iphone =)
Do u love your iphone, give up the car =)

i phone can connect thru USB, for now

 

Have to agree. This has been a recurring theme on several different forums I've been on for several different platforms (cars, audio, video, etc.).

similar incompatibilities we see with Apple and other interfaces

Every time iwhatever users have issues, they want to blame the manufacturer of the car/amplifier/TV. You do realize that Apple has no reason to try and make their products work well with anything other than Apple products. When you buy an Apple product you are buying into an "ecosystem" where everything will work flawlessly together because everything is proprietary. They don't want you buying non-Apple products and have no incentive to work with other interfaces.

Remember, Infiniti plans on selling this car worldwide. The rest of the world has far more Android phones/devices than iAnything. Worldwide, Android is outselling iPhone by larger than 2 to 1 margins - so from a business sense, it doesn't make sense to focus on features for the iPhone.

Will Infiniti get things to work with the iPhone updated IOS? Probably. Will they do it fast enough for iPhone users? Nope.

 

Frontier, you are saying text works with iPhone through USB? Did not for me.

 

Same here, doesn't work for me either.

 

It works for me, there's an extra setting on the iPhone under the "MY-CAR" Bluetooth device to "Show Notifications". I just responded over here, so thought it might help cross reference the thread...

Switched on the "Show Notifications" and now receiving texts while driving. Excellent. Thank you

 

That's interesting. I never noticed that option when connecting an iPhone to a car before. Now I want to go home and test this out! Thanks for the info jdp83

 

I tried turning this on last night. Haven't tested it since I enabled it on the phone though.

 

Works perfectly. Thanks for the tip!

 

On iphone you can recive but not send via Intouch. Word from above says something to do with iOS and apples policy on iOS in the car.

 

Hey- those of with Pebbles and having the issue this thread is discussing - have you tried turning off your Pebbles / comms to the iphone and then tested the Q50 integration? I remember some conversation in early Pebble threads about people having general issues when connected to the Pebble and their car bluetooth at the same time. This isn't Q50 related. I'm wondering though if that sort of issue is inhibiting this functionality in the Q50.

 

I'm not having any trouble with my iPhone connected to both my pebble and the Q50 at the same time. Turning on "show notifications" in the Bluetooth profile on the phone and then changing the connection method on the Q50 from "From Unit" to "Bluetooth Audio Device" and back again allows me to receive texts through InTouch.
