Re: Toyotas succumb to iTunes software!!!

Not the first time i've heard of apple having comatibility issues (ignoring fault or blame to either party at the time), first I've heard of apple having issues with toyota head units though!

To be reasonable - I doubt its the first MP3 player (of any description) to have some sort of compatibily issues with a head unit in a car - more to the point, its probably simply that its such between two such big and reputable companies that its actually made the media.

Not something I'd be overly worried about in the greater scheme of things!

Re: Toyotas succumb to iTunes software!!!

Makes you wonder if Fujitsu/Ten have an Apple Developers license. If they had, they would have been aware of the problem well before release, been able to report it to Apple and possibly averted this situation. Even if they couldn't avert it, they might have had their head unit update ready to release in time for the new IOS version.

Naturally this is Apple's fault. Not.

The journalist also has no idea what they are writing about, IOS is the iPhone/iPad/iPod Operating System. None of these devices run iTunes. As for the possibility of the iPhone taking over the vehicle management systems, bit of a long stretch but nice scare mongering. I guess next we will get a recorded anouncement requesting us to put our phones into 'Drive Mode' as they may effect the vehicle management systems.

Beat Up.
