I have an iPhone 3GS. I have had it for two years and have upgraded to the newer
iOS (Appleās mobile operating system) versions along the way. I love my iPhone. Among other things, I love that I can hook it up to my car (Toyota Prius) via Bluetooth and use my car speakers as my āheadsetā. I can listen to my playlists,
Pandora, iHeartRadio, basically anything with audio.
Hereās is what my radio looked like when hooked up to my iPhoneā¦
Yep limited controlsā¦ play and pause. One thing that bugged me is that I couldnāt navigate my playlists with without holding my iPhoneā¦ I donāt do that for two reasonsā¦ one distracted driving and because itās now illegal in Oregon āhand holdā phones while driving.
I updated my iPhone to iOS 5 and when I got into my car I had a really nice surpriseā¦ I was surprised more because I thought Toyota had limited the controls like they do on the Navigation systemā¦ sorryā¦ I digress thatās another venting session for another dayā¦ To my surprise, it was iOS which was limiting the functionality!
YEPā¦ now it looks like it does when I have a CD inā¦ It lists the track information AND I can control skipping from my steering wheel! I can even use the RPT (repeat) or RAND (random) features. YIPPPPEEEEE!!! The little things that make me smileā¦ š
Where you surprised by any iOS 5 features?
