Will a voice dialing car kit feature work with iphone 3g?

I am a new iphone user, and I know it doesn't have voice dialing, but I can't figure out if I can get around this by buying a car kit that offers voice dialing (e.g. parrot or motorola). Does this feature on the car kit require that the phone do voice dialing itself, or does it stand alone?
Or ... any chance of an app being developed/released to allow voice dialing on the iphone directly?
Thanks.

Tried it. It works, but isn't a perfect solution. Here's the direct link to the app.
There's a brief one-time initialization. With the app active, you need to press and hold a large icon while you speak. It searches, finds the contact, and presents you with a list of 4 possible numbers (main, home, work, mobile). Even if you have only one type of number (e.g. just the mobile number), you get all 4 buttons (the others just say 'not available') and have to press the button to make the call. It only works via the built-in mic, not bluetooth.
So, assuming you have the app open when you start driving, you'd need to press-and-hold while you speak, then locate and press the number choice. That's two looks at the screen, and that assumes it gets the name right (it did a pretty good job in my testing, missed one, and the "next name" button is pretty small. Easier than scrolling through contacts, though.
IMHO, a better bet for frequently called numbers is a Utility like Speed Dial, definitely worth the 99¢.

    Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

    I dont doubt your claim of 55-75 hours of usage
    solely on running since january. Even though you say
    that it has died prematurely with the range of hours
    you give since the time you purchased the sensor.
    I must ask if you were concious of turning off
    the sensor when it was not in usage. You know
    hitting that little button on the sensor itself to
    deactivate the battery. If your answer is no that you
    never remembered to turn off this sensor then. Your
    idea that it has died prematurely is bad. Because
    without physically turning off the sensor itself
    (thats the portion in the sole of the shoe) then it
    has been on 24/7 since you purchased it in january.
    Now if you have remembered to turn off the sensor
    after each run then it might have died prematurely.
    IF thats the case I would contact apple or the place
    from which you purchased it and ask for some help
    regarding the sensor.
    GFF:)
    Umm, no: From the FAQ
    "The sensor’s battery has a life of more than 1000 active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power management system which means that the sensor really only consumes power when active (that is, when it senses motion)."
    Mine is now showing the low battery indicator at 277 hours. I'm not the only one with premature battery failure.

    There are more threads (just search on "sensor battery").
    This should be covered by the warranty. Can someone from Apple please respond to this thread?

  • IOs4 upgrade, Now car stereo doesnt work with iphone

    upgraded to Ios4 a few hours ago. Went to my car and plugged it into the usb port of my pioneer stereo and it says " Not compatible "
    My stereo has always worked with my iphone.
    PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP . APPLE

    I've got the AutoPilot from Griffin, and I haven't seen any issues with it. Anyone with one of those and have concerns shouldn't worry; it'll continue to work.
    Granted, it interfaces with the iPhone via the dock connector, but eventually goes into the car's audio system via the auxiliary jack, so the USB connection is probably what the issue is with other audio systems.
    I've also noticed the "This accessory isn't meant for your device" message doesn't give you the choice of going into Airplane Mode; it just reminds you that you'll probably get interference.

  • Help How do I get car bluetooth to work with iphone

    I just bought a Santa Fe with bluetooth but when I try to pair my 3GS iPhone it will pair then gets disconnected. Does anyone know why?

    I have a 2010 Hyundai Tucson and I have intermittent problems with the bluetooth using my iphone. It's a 32GB 3GS with ios 4.0. I had no problems pairing it.
    Most of the time, everything works great but about 20% of the time I try to use the bluetooth and the NAV screen indicates that there was a dialing error. The weird thing is that the phone menu on the NAV screen always shows 'connected' and through the speakers I can hear the phone dial, but then the error appears on the NAV screen (phone menu). What's strange is that the phone itself continues dialing but the call doesn't transmit through the bluetooth. I have to manually use the phone at that point.
    It also has a tendency to lock up the NAV screen for a couple of minutes afterward, meaning I can't switch back to XM. When this happens and I look on the bluetooth menu on the phone itself under 'Tucson', the phone says "Not Connected".
    This happens when the phone is connected via the USB/Aux cable as well as when it's sitting in my pocket.

  • Aftermarket car charger not working with iPhone 4

    I have and aftermarket input in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. It includes a 30-pin connector which provides the line level input and a charging to an ipod. I have been using just fine with my 2nd gen ipod and wife's 2g iPod Touch with no problem. I just bought a new iPhone 4 last week and plug it in and get the message "this accessory is not optimized for this device" "charging is not supported". Is this just a software block or is the power requirements that much different with the iPhone. The input works and the iPhone even respond to a pause signal when I shut off the car (input device pauses your ipod when you shut off the car), but no charging. I hate to think I have to shell out another $50-60 for a new input for my car. Any thoughts?
    I can't remember the name of the input device. I think it might be PIE.
    Thanks

    "Scosche Passport - it's a quality product that solves your problem.... "
    Let me stop you right there. The scosche passport WAS a good product. I purchased one last year at the apple store when I was making a 9 hour trip up north and needed to charge my iPhone 3GS on the way. It was a brilliant product, all the way up to the launch of iOS 4.
    I don't know HOW Apple botched this update, but the fact that I am now using the same hardware (the 3GS), attached to the same scosche adapter in my car, and a software update to 4.0 has broken my ability to charge. It is absolutely insane.
    Needless to say I'm furious. I'll be ringing Apple on Tuesday, as they're not signing 3.1.3 anymore, so I can't even go back to a chargable phone.

  • MP3 Car Input not working with Iphone

    When I plug my Iphone into my car's mp3 Aux input using my current mini plug connector (which works fine with my Ipod)) the music continues to play out of the iphone and not through my cars' stereo. The car is set correctly as the ipod works fine. Am I doing something worong?? Does the iphome not work in that situation? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

    because of the iphone's recessed headphone jack, it's likely your cable is not fully inserting into the jack. don't try to force it in there. people have done things from shaving down the plastic on a jack to trying to shop for adapters that fit.

    Please stop posting in ALL UPPER CASE; it is considered SHOUTING, is harder to read, and is considered rude.
    If you have not yet done so unpair the car kit from the phone, or better yet reset it completely, Forget the car kit in the iPhone, and pair it anew.

  • Bought iPhone 6 yesterday. Also bought dock works with iPhone 5/5s. And cord connecting iPhone 6 to USB port on car stereo. No sound comes out of dock or car stereo. In store today, iPhone 5 running ios 8 worked on dock, not iPhone 6. When Apple fix?

    I bought an iPhone 6 yesterday. I also bought a stereo dock that works with iPhone 5/5s. And a cord to connect iPhone 6 to USB port on my car stereo. No sound comes out of the stereo dock or car stereo. In Best Buy today, Sales Associate tried his iPhone 5 running iOS 8 on a stereo dock. It worked, but my iPhone 6 didn't. When will Apple fix this problem? Or is Apple pushing everyone to Bluetooth?

    The iPod feature that plays through USB in my car does not work with my iPhone 6 either.  I called AppleCare and they said that the car audio system will need a firmware update.  Don't know if Apple is just passing the buck, but that is what I was told.  Thank you for posting.  I know now that I am not the only one.  Thanks also for posting about the iPhone 5 running iOS 8.  I gave away my iPhone 5 to a friend so I wasn't sure whether this is an iOS 8 issue or an iPhone 6 issue and your experience seems to confirm that it is a problem with iPhone 6.  I guess I will just be using Bluetooth in my car, at least for now.

  • Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    Will my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless work with the new Mac OS Lion

    My experience with upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion is that the OfficeJet Pro 8500 Wireless will print just fine, although it seems to take a little longer to find the printer on the network. My scan function however locks up and will not work. This really is an annoyance, though, since I have VueScan, which works fine with Lion.
    Hopefully, Apple and HP will not orphan the OS native scanning feature for HP multifunction printers.

  • Will the new Iphone 3Gs work with Iphone 3G accessories?

    So I have an Iphone 3G and of course I'm ready to upgrade to the 3Gs.
    However, I have a car charger and the Video component cables for my 3G. Will these work with the 3Gs?

    Your car charger and the video component cables for your 3G should continue to work. The reason some of the car chargers that worked with the first generation iPhone didn't work with the iPhone 3G is Apple removed the firewire pins from the dock connector with the iPhone 3G. A number of car chargers charged via firewire, not USB. The first generation iPhone supports charging via firewire, which is not supported with the iPhone 3G, and will no longer be supported with any future iPhone or iPod models.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.
