Yesterday I finally upgraded my hacked iPhone to firmware 1.1.2. At first it seemed like a great idea. The new firmware fixes a number of annoying bugs. For example, I was getting a lot of unreadable junk text messages from my cell phone carrier. Now I can finally read all those useless messages that remind me to check my voice-mail. More importantly, I no longer feel excluded. I also do no longer see the system crash when browsing through my song library using cover flow. So, everything should be fine and dandy, right? Not quite.
It turns out that since upgrading to 1.1.2 I can no longer use my harman/kardon original drive+play interface to listen in my car to the music stored on my iPhone. When I select the playlist option I just get a spinning wheel and after a while the display returns to the main menu. I am not sure what happened, but it sure is annoying. The situation is not desperate though. If I want to listen to podcasts, I still can. I just have to select that playlist before connecting the iPhone to hear the sound through my car stereo.
I haven’t found more people complaining about this problem, but I sure hope it will get fixed in a future firmware upgrade.
