hi everyone, i just picked up a 2008 fx35 awd with EVERYTHING. it has the bose stereo and even a factory ipod connector. here's the weird thing, an ipod works perfectly fine when plugged in, but it does nothing when i plug in my phone. i wouldn't mind just using the old school iPod, but I want to use my iPhone so that i can choose what i want to listen to without scrolling and clicking through menus. I am pretty close to buying the iSimple, but i don't want to kill off my factory XM just to buy an aftermarket XM. i would be perfectly happy if i could somehow convert the iPod plug to a standard headphone jack plug. i tried asking the dealer.... they were totally clueless. Is there any way i can get what i want without sacrificing functionality?

does anyone else have the OEM ipod plug? can it work with an iPhone or iPod touch?
 
sell it to me? lol for real though, does anyone know about the OEM ipod input and why it won't work on the iPhone? or if it can be converted into a headphone jack?
