Using TomTom on the iPhone in a Mercedes Banz

I have an iPhone 4S and the correct iPhone cradle for my Mercedes Benz CLK280.  Everything works fine with the phone integration with the car's sound system for making and receiving calls when the iPhone is in the cradle.
However, because TomTom is a far better navigation solution than the inbuilt MB one, I tend to use the iphone in an air vent holder and plugged into the cigarette lighter socket so I can get access to the TomTom camera information and traffic information.  But of course, this means I lose the signal boost from the car's antenna and the integration with the car's call-handling.
SO, I wonder if there is any way of plugging a lead into the phone with the other end plugged into the MB car cradle.  In this way I could have the best of all worlds with integration with the car's sound system for phone calls, plus picking up power and access to the car's built in aerial via connection to the cradle.  Is there some sort of double-ended iPhone cable which would give me this facility?
Anyone got any ideas?  I wouldn't mind betting that a lot of people would have a similar requirement.

Something like this work for you?

    What I am saying is ..........
    The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
    The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship  with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
    With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount  usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
    This is how O2 function and according to Gemma  this is how Vodafone work

  • I have purchased a eos 6d. When I use it with the iPhone app the connection dies after about five m

    I have a 6d and when I use it with the iPhone app the camera turns off after about five minutes and the connection is lost. So when I am photographing wild life I keep having to break cover to reactivate the connection. Is this correct or is there a way to keep the connection alive.

    You just need to go into the menu and set the camera's sleep mode to "off" or "never". It sounds as if it's currently set to 5 minutes.
    Letting the camera sit active continuously, i.e. preventing it from going into sleep mode, will drain the battery(ies) a lot faster. I don't have a 6D, nor do I leave them on full time (in fact I set sleep mode to a very short duration, since tapping any button on the camera quickly re-awakens it).... so I really don't know how quickly a battery will drain. But you might be prepared with spares. If battery life is too short for you purposes, you could add a battery grip which will double the battery capacity.

    I stream video/audio from my iPhone to AppleTV (like YouTube) and it works fine. I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video to AppleTV and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one. How can I watch AppleTV and listen on the headphones?
    Thank you.

    The iPhone is working, as designed and advertised.  In this case, the user failed to educate themselves properly, either by proper research or asking the right questions, before purchasing the device.
    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

  • May i know what kind of leather used in making the iphone 5s casing?is there any possibility using pig skin?

    Actually, Apple does make an iPhone 5s case in leather, but they do not indicate what species the leather is from.

    There are number of other companies that make leather iPhone cases though - I've used numerous Sena leather sleeves and cases over the years although I've never inquired what species of leather they use.

  • TomTom and the iPhone - I CAN'T FIND AN ANSWER ANYWHERE

    1) Will the new TomTom app work with the iPhone 3G as well as the 3GS?
    2) If it will work with the iPhone 3G as well, will it require internet connectivity? Or will it have the maps onboard and use the built-in GPS chip? In other words, can I use it in the middle of nowhere?
    Thanks!

    1) I'm sorry for being rude
    2) If I was a developer, I'd want it to use the built-in normal GPS and not rely at all on cell phone tower connectivity. You're right, it says the maps are inside, but I guess I'm worried that it will for some reason still require there to be a cell phone tower signal. I only say that because at no point during the WWDC and nowhere on the site does it stress that the software can be used without cell tower connectivity. I would think they would've at least mentioned that fact if it were true. I mean, it's been a year with the iPhone 3G with a built-in standalone GPS chip, and no map software that uses it.
    Also, the dashboard device has its OWN GPS chip in it. I'm worried that maybe you have to have that device in order to use the software outside of tower connectivity.

  • My iphone 4 is disabled and i forgot the apple id that i used to setup the iphone with

    I have an iphone 4 from verizon. Ive had for little over a year now. i put a password on it and i forgot it and at i first i didnt want to reset my iphone because nothing was backed up but then i decided if i had to reset my iphone then i guess that is whats going to have to be done and then when i tried to reset it it keeps telling me to enter my apple id and password i used to set up the iphone but i forgot my apple id so now i dont know what to do please help me

    You may be able to recover your Apple ID at https://iforgot.apple.com.
    You're going to have to remember the Apple ID. If you can't, the only option you have is to take the phone along with the original proof of purchase to Apple and see if they can help you. They have been known to do so, but ONLY for the original purchaser of the phone with a valid proof of purchase.

  • How much I can use out of the iphone without activating it, like a PDA?

    What is the status of an iphone before activation or after de-activation (cancel the plan)? Could I use the iphone like a pda? With Wi-Fi, iphone is still a nice PDA, isn't it?

    According the AT&T documentation, "In the inactive state it will not
    make or receive calls, except for emergency calls. As well, the iPod, Internet, and Wi-Fi capabilities will not be functional until the device is activated."

  • Can I use adapter of the iphone (not the cable), to attach the power cable of a macbook pro bought in Canada? The power adpter for the macbook pro is two pins because it was bought in Canada. Thank you.

             Hi! I will get a macbook pro bought in Canada soon. Can I use the adapter plug of my iphone (ireland) not the cable, as the adapter to plug my macbook? The power adpter of the macbook from Canada is a two pin. Thanks for any help.

    I wouldn't, the Mac draws significantly more power than the iPhone. Why risk it.

  • I used to connect the iphone to computer to make the backup . I need to know where is the backup path on computer?

    i used to connect the ipad or iphone to computer to make the backup . I need to know where is the backup path on computer?

    The following quotation is from iTunes: About iOS backups
    Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.
