Default iPhone 4 cradle

Does anyone know if there is a cradle available to mount the iPhone 4 in the armrest? I remember seeing a link to one that fit the iPhone 3G, but haven't been able to find one for the 4.

Thanks!

When reading the owners manual, it seemed like that armrest connection was for non-BlueTooth phones. But because the iPhone is a bluetooth phone, it connects wirelessly, thus no need to mount it into the cradle. Rather, you can just toss it in there, or store it under the seat... wherever.

you need to pair your phone.

in your phone, go to settings, then press general, then press bluetooth, then scan for devices (if it doesn't already), press the one says AUDI or MMI then enter code 1234, look at mmi screen, enter 1234 on mmi, select connect. rtfm. the thumbwheels are your friends.

A cradle would be handy to charge and secure the phone. You know, some place where it belongs.

My understanding is that when the iPhone 3 was put in its appropriate cradle, it charged the phone and additionally connected it to the cars antennae which helped reception. Plus, it would just be a tidy place to keep it. I already use the bluetooth, but the cord from the charger is kind of a pain. I'd just rather be able to plug the phone into its 'spot'.

Thanks -

Thanks!
