I installed my Dension GW500 last night and I'm using it with a specdock from www.2point5.com to connect my iPhone 3G.
In general it works great, but it has the following quirks and I'm curious if there's work arounds or something I'm missing...
1. Occasionally playback will fade out and back in quickly... it's possibly related the phone receiving an email or something. Not sure.
2. After placing or receiving a call on the phone, the playback is paused and will not resume. I can't seem to get it to continue playback without selecting another track.
Any thoughts?

When you connect your iPhone with your GW500 do you get an error message "This accessory not made to work with iPhone"? I have a first generation iPhone and when I connect it I get the above message and the phone switches to Airplane mode!

I don't remember getting this option, maybe is due to my old firmware (1.1.4). I think is time for update
