IPhone 3G BT not working on VW Passat !

Question

The iPhone 3G doesnt work on VW car kit.
Does anyone has a way to solve this problem ? either from iPhone or VW side ? Are any diferent BT modules I can install on VW to make it work ?
Why doest Apple implements the RSAP on iPhone ? Why doesnt VW make the BT modules more compatible ?

Hi,
I was having the same problems. My iPhone 4 didn't connect to the internet via 3G, WiFi worked fine. In order to find out if the problem was caused by my iPhone or by my SIM card, I cross-changed the SIM cards of my wife's iPhone with mine. Both phones turned out to work fine with the SIM cards exchanged. After changing the SIM cards back, I tried connecting the iPhone to my Mac and syncing it with iTunes, resetting it by holding the wake and home button and resetting the cellular data network settings by pressing "Reset Settings". None of this worked.
What fixed the problem for me finally was this:
In the cellular data network setting pane, instead of just pressing "Reset Settings", I deliberately changed the settings I found by adding some nonsense to most of the fields. After that I pressed "Reset Settings", the original settings were re-entered and the internet connection via 3G started working again. This behavior seems kind of strange but apearently, if the original settings haven't been changed, a resset doesn't really re-enter anything... So if you try this, make sure to screw up your entries before you press the reset button.
Hope this helps.
