I've done some searching but not found definitive answers to my questions.
I've ordered my car with Phone Box mainly in the hope that it helps with the bad reception in my neck of the woods (I can often drive 20 minutes with no signal), but some things are still not clear:
1. I've also ordered the Tech Pack, which I believe is what gives me AMI, but does Phone Box replace any AMI functions or just add to them?
2. Does AMI charge the phone through the cable or not? My current VW MMI does but I hear different for the AMI.
3. Does Phone Box add any extra sockets in the arm rest? I hear USB but need that confirmed. If so, would that charge?
4. I have iPhone5 and my dealer says the AMI cable for iPhone5 isn't available yet so I would lose functionality even if I use the lightning adaptor.
What I'm aiming for is to have full music connection whilst charging my phone, and better reception as a bonus.
If any owners are able to post close-up pics of the inside of the Phone Box that would be much appreciated, or point me to an existing thread that I have missed?
Thanks!
