Why does Apple not support the rSAP - Remote SIM Access Profile - for connection to car handsfree via Bluetooth

Hello community,
I just ordered a new car and it comes with a bluetooth based handsfree installation based on rSAP (remote SIM access profile). I learned that rSAP is the ideal thing to eliminate the unwanted radiofrequency radiation (RFR) inside the car. Now while googleing I also learned that iPhone on iOS does not support rSAP.
I would like to point to the following page which shows some more detailed information on the rSAP topic:
http://paulroberts69.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/android-2-2-and-rsap-compatibility /
I find rSAP a very usefuly thing, if it really brings the GSM radiation level down inside the car and allows the full use of all GSM functions by the rSAP premium handsfree kit built into the car. I absolutely do not understand why it is not already available with iOS.
From several web sources I understand that rSAP is available for jailbroken iPhones. That means, the chips inside the iPhone would support a rSAP service. Therefore my question: will it become available with iOS 6?
Or do all the folks at Apple drive old cars/brands and don't even think of the rSAP feature? Can we somehow start to get a hearing by the Apple developers? According to my knowledge, rSAP is implemented with all premium handsfree factory units of the VW brands - Audi, VW, Skoda ... This should make a relevant user base!
Any others with same wish and/or experiences? Comment here please!
Regards,
Olaf

Hi Meg,
could be several things:
1. they forgot?
2. none of their team members drives any VW branded car?
3. nobody cares about the radiation inside the car?
4. all have plugin holders for the iPhone?
I am just surprised that rSAP is offered by a premium car maker, but Apple seems ignorant about its support.
I am mostly concerned about the radiation when I use regular hands free. But I do understand that rSAP also has some limitations (only access to SIM contacts and other things, Wikipedia DE has a good full report, Wikipedia EN is much shorter).
Regards,
Olaf

  • Why does Apple not support GiffGaff?

    GiffGaff allow you to tether and use your standard data allowance, but Apple don't even recognize GiffGaff as a network - so you can't enable any kind of tethering. The only workaround appears to be to jailbreak your phone. Why does Apple not support this network?

    Nobody here would know that.

    And the processor limitations.

    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

  • Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo

    Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo - it takes over the Safari browser even with extensions turned off - firefox works fine but the malware is still alive and kicking on my mac.  Should I just uninstall safari and hope the malware is not doing more damage in the background?

    Hi Sickof --
    Apple has never had anything to do with Genio.  It is sneakily installed with other apps you think would be helpful. It is very sickening, IMHO. 
    Here's a thread here -- It's long, I know, but it's got great information for you.

    Keep reading.  It's worth it.

  • Why does Canon NOT support the Canon Utilities software?

    The Canon Map Utility software can not detect my Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2.  Over the phone, Canon "Customer Support" had me uninstall all 10 Canon Utilities that I had previously installed, and then let me install only 8 older versions of Canon Utilities.  And, the Canon Map Utility software STILL could not detect my Canon GP-E2. 
    Why doesn't Canon have ANYONE who knows the Canon Utility software?  The first support rep had NEVER used any of the software!  And the second support rep, whom I was transfered to by a Supervisor who told me that this was the most experienced support person for the software, has only used the software ONCE!
    Why does Canon NOT SUPPORT Canon software?????
    As an old friend used to always say,
    "Keep Looking Up!"

    When I use the GPS-E2 on my camera, the pictures have are geotagged.  It's when I try to use the GPS log that Map Utility has a problem.  I like the idea of recording where I went, not just where each picture was taken.  That way, I can see where I found nothing to take pictures of.

  • Why does Apple not support syncing Entourage Notes and Tasks with the iPhone?

    I'd like to know why Apply syncing does not support notes and task syncing with the iPhone.  It used to when I had a Balckberry and used a third party sync app.
    I bought the iPhone (4S) thinking that syncing would be smoother and have less problems than I was having with the Blackberry and third party sync software.  Are there any plans to support this?

    Normally I run OS X, but on a whim I tested iCloud on Windows and was able to get Outlook to read and create Notes. It supposedly supports Tasks too, but I can't figure out how to use Outlook.
    I suggest reposting your question to the iCloud for PC forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_pc
    or the iCloud for iOS forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_ios_device

  • I feel ripped off.Why does apple not replace the battery?

    Ok so I went to the apple store previously and they guy told me I could get a refurbished ipod for $50.Now I go there today and this other guy tells me apple does not support my model anymore.I paid over $300 dollars for this thing and apple will not replace a battery?Why is this? It's just a battery and I refuse to buy another one.Apple needs to support their product for lifetime.

    You can buy a replacement battery for a few $. The device is not that easy to open up, but it can be done. I've around 10 battery or headphone jack/hold switch assembly replacements on various models from 5th to 7th gen. There are third parties that will fit for somewhere in the region of $25. E.g.

  • Why does Apple not support prepaid phone service?

    I was wanting to ask someone from Apple this directly. I have a prepaid phone from ATT and they said that the way that Apple sends data doesn't support the prepaid service. I was just wondering why they did that? If it was intentional? And if that will change any time soon or in the future?

    Then you're in the wrong place.
    FWIW, I think it is supported, but not sure.

  • Why does Apple not support Java Runtime Environment?

    I am a U.S. Armed Forces Service Member, and I have ran into this problem so many times along with millions of other people, and I would like to ask Apple why don't you support JRE?  My job requires me to use websites that is designed for government use to run on Java. I travel a lot, and I work on the go; I love using my apple products such as the IPad, but when it comes down the sites that I must use, I can't. It is very frustrating and impossible to get the job done without accessing these sites. Apple, you would get so much more support/business if you would allow your faithful followers to have access to Java. Specifically JRE 1.5+.  I still do not understand the reason why Apple has consistently refuse to work with Java based application. Apple, please swallow your pride and give your supporter something to keep going with. Thank you.

    U.S. Navy Service Member.

    One take on it here:
    http://www.codenameone.com/3/post/2013/01/why-oracle-wont-issue-java-for-ios-any time-soon.html
    As James said, you can comment to Apple, but given the many serious security problems that have and continue to be discovered in Java, the chance of Apple implementing or allowing a Java engine in iOS is vanishingly small.
    Expanding on what Phil said, there is at least one app/service combination,  VirtualChrome, which says it supports Java. But you could achieve the same result with probably more control over security by just taking control of a desktop system running Java.

  • Why does Apple not support Firefox?

    When I tried to contact Apple support they told me my browser is not supported!
    I am using Firefox 10.0.2.
    Is this not the latest version?

    You can get a more uptodate browser.
    TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.
    "World's most advanced web browser. Finely tuned for the Power PC."
        --  works for me on 10.4.  Supports 10.5

    alternative download site:

    Turn on pipelining.  This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server.  Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

  • Why does Firefox not support the "text-overflow: ellipsis;" style? All other major browsers support it.

    The "text-overflow: ellipsis;" style is supported by all major browsers EXCEPT Firefox. I had thought that this would have been fixed with Version 4. But it was not. Then I had hoped that it would be fixed in version 5. Yet it still is not supported.
    PLEASE, PLEASE add this support.

    MDN docs say it will be in firefox 7. See

  • HT4759 WHy does Apple not support iCloud bookmarks for 64bit firefox?

    I use 'Nightly' the "unofficial" official 64 bit version of firefox and the iCloud bookmarks plugin is not compatible. Why is this unsupported?

    Follow these steps to fix the issue...
    Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/icloud-bookmarks/
    Right-click on "+ Add to Firefox" and select "Save Link As..."
    Save the file to your desktop
    Rename the file to add the .zip extension (eg icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi.zip)
    Open the zip file
    Extract the install.rdf file and open it with notepad
    Remove the whole following line to allow it to work in a 64bit browser
    <em:targetPlatform>WINNT_x86-msvc</em:targetPlatform>
    Change the following line from...
    <em:maxVersion>31.*</em:maxVersion>
    to something like...
    <em:maxVersion>99.*</em:maxVersion>
    Save the file, and update the zip file with the one we just fixed
    Delete the META-INF folder, otherwise during installation it will detect install.rdf has been modified
    Rename the file back to .xpi (eg icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi)
    Open this file with Firefox, it should install the addon fine now
    Open the iCloud Control Panel settings, and enable Firefox bookmark syncing.
    If you don't want to do this yourself, I've made the file available to download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rgfodf7ualt0wdw/icloud_bookmarks-1.4.14-fx-windows.xpi ?dl=0

  • Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?  I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

    Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.  I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred).  As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
    If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud."  But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
    Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
    http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
    Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
    There may be other sources which work - try Googling.
