United-Kingdom iPhone 4 compatibility with stereo

I'm completely new to this forum, so hello to you all!

I've recently had an iPod interface and cable fitted to my 2006 MINI One, and have been told by the MINI dealer that iPhones are compatible.

I'm thinking of purchasing an iPhone 4; however, BMW have been unable to confirm that the iPhone 4 will play music through my car stereo. The only advice I've been given is to plug an iPhone 4 into the system to see if it works...!

Does anyone out there know if the new iPhone 4 will play music through the iPod interface?

Thank you kindly for your help

United-Kingdom It works!

Bizarrely, I'm answering my own question. I found out the answer by persuading an acquaintance to plug his iPhone4 into my car stereo.

The iPhone 4 will play music through the stereo, and the buttons on the car stereo will flick the tracks back and forth on demand. However, a message flashes up on the iPhone to say the device is not 'optimised' on this system. So I imagine there is potential for some interference.

I hope this thread is helpful to someone else out there!

I have an iPhone 3GS running iOS4 and I get the same message as you. I've only noticed 2 problems.

1) It wont charge the iPhone.

2) I have my phone set to vibrate not ring when someone calls me. When I receive a call, the music just cuts out and its not that obvious whats happening (my phone is in the glove compartment).
