- When you hit reverse and the back camera comes on...does the music go mute? (read that is one of the posts)
- Does the Iphone bluetooth work seamlessly with this system?

Thanks!
some quick answers for you:
(1) Mostly fixed. Everything works perfectly if no one sits in the passenger side seat. Once they do, the AirBag lights come on. This is an easy fix now that the original AirBag bug was fixed and expect the fix to come asap.
(2) Yes, so far I know for sure that people have loaded sucessfully the iGO8 maps and it rules. Mat is trying the Garmin maps as we speak.
(3) good question, don't know either
(4) Any bluetooth should work 100%. iPhone's bluetooth system isn't any different then running a laptop pc with bluetooth or another phone equipped with bluetooth. You should be a go here.

The harness temporarily fixed the problem. One of our clients was the 1st one to test the harness and it fixes the problem when there is no passenger in the passenger seat. With the new harness installed, the light goes away when the car is driven with ONLY the driver in the front seats. When a passenger is in the passenger seat, the light comes back on until the car is turned off and the passenger exits. FlyAudio is aware of the issue and is going to continue working on the fix. All of our clients have been contacted and are aware of the ongoing pursuit of NO AIRBAG LIGHT.

Airbag light will be solved, it's just a matter of how long FlyAudio takes to fix it. Hopefully the fix will be established this week, it will take about a week for the factory to build it, and a week to ship to me. I am hoping within the next 3-4 weeks it is completely fixed. As always, our clients will be taken care of FREE of charge. We are doing our best to minimize the inconvenience and give our clients options in regards to how they want to move forward. I know it may seem like it's taking awhile, but FlyAudio is doing their best to get to the solution as quickly as possible.

I am going to play around with Garmin maps this week to see how that works. Unfortunately I can't load every software on the market to find out how well it works, but I am sure I can work with you if you have a specific map solution in mind that you want to use.

I can't confirm or deny if the music mutes when the car is in reverse, but if that's what owners are stating, then it may very well be the case.

I have my iPhone connected to the FlyAudio on my desk right now and it works fabulously. I have tested my iPhone in multiple clients cars and it works fine as well. I am pretty sure that a number of our clients have been using their iPhones with the FlyAudio system with no problems.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do!

The iPod update has not been released yet. The default setting is a list of all songs in alphabetical order.

What you can do is select a playlist (before iPod/iPhone is plugged in), then plug your iPod/iPhone in, and it will play thru your selected playlist.

There will be an update with added iPod functionality in the future.

Hey guys so I got a email from Victor from FlyAudio quoting this:

Hi Sai,

I feel really bad to bug you so often. I am not sure if you've seen it
on the web. We thought we figured out the solution for Lexus airbag
light issue. It turns out that the solution only works for Lexus ES.
Theoretically, it should also work for IS series, and we really need an
IS nearby for us to test. Is it possible for you to post an ad on
ClubLexus and see if any IS owner in Seattle area is willing to lend us
his IS for testing for a couple of days. If it works out, and if he also
likes the unit, he can purchase the unit at a great discounted price
($500), including installation. If the person needs a car during the
time while we are testing, he can drive our brand new 2010 Lexus ES350.
We need it as soon as possible. Let me know if you can help with that.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for the offer. Victor is overnighting himself down to SoCal and we are going to figure it out tomorrow at our shop. Hopefully the answer and results are not too far away. I will post updates as they are available.

I'm confused. I'm hearing the airbag light issue is not fixed (from this site), but then I heard Victor saying it's fixed on the ES?
