Default iPhone with iPod connector

I got the basic stock stereo system and was pleasantly surprised to find that the iPhone works with the iPod connector. I had already assumed that it wouldn't work, which was reinforced after seeing the manual list all of the possible iPod models (it was outdated, of course).

So great, it works wonderfully just like an iPod is supposed to work. The question is, has anyone tried the iPhone with the "Premium" sound system? I prefer the look and button configuration, and it would be nice to have a larger readout for long song titles and folders and such. I'm afraid that I might've just gotten lucky that it worked with the basic stereo, and the upgraded one might not communicate so easily. I would like to assume that the iPod part is essentially the same, but if they are not, I'd rather just stick with the one I have now and keep that functionality. I'm sure it will be a hassle to upgrade and then ask them to switch them back.

All the Scion Stereos should work with any iPod. The only thing that would stop this is if Apple changed there firmware for control drastically.

My Scion Nav system worked fine with my brothers iPhone and works just as well with my nano.

make sure to plug in the 30-pin connector carefully to insure a good connection.

I believe "works with iPhone" is only about using the phone. When prompted, I always tell it not to go into airplane mode, and I use a bluetooth earpiece. It mutes the audio when a call comes in, then goes back to playing my audio.
