Need help with few issues on my new f10: Bluetooth audio, telephone, auto headlights

Hope someone can help me with my questions:

1) I managed to stream audio via Bluetooth with my iPhone 4 but I cannot control track changes. Doesn't work with the thumb wheel or from the buttons on the DVD console. I have OS 4.01.

2) To use voice commands to phone someone in the contact list, what I'm doing now is having to say: "phonebook" > "the contacts name" >confirm contacts name > select entry # > confirm entry #. That is a lot of steps! Is there a quicker way of doing this? On the iPhone I can just say for instance "call jack mobile".

3) i leave my headlight switch to auto but even in bright daylight my headlight is still on. Today it actually worked properly and just the angel eyes were on but after i parked and restarted my car the headlights stayed on again. Is it malfunctioning?

Thanks.

#1-I was under the impression that you needed OS 6 (for blackberry's) for office AND bluetooth audio so I have not even tried to stream yet ( I have OS 5). Ill see if I can get it working and check the thumbwheel.

#2-I haven't figured out any shortcuts yet.

#3-Ive heard from several people that the auto headlights come on prematurely. I think they are just very sensitive.

Hi,

1) Bluetooth Audio, I can stream tracks and use up down thumb toggle on steering wheel to change but no title or art displayed (Iphone 3gs with os 4.1). Think you should be able to do same.

2) Not tried yet - will do.

3) Same - damn annoying as angel eyes look way cooler but for me auto lights = full headlights in all weather, even bright sunlight .

Nope. Track changes during Bluetooth streaming doesn't work on my iPhone 4. Maybe I need to upgrade to iOS 4.1 or 4.2.

I don't know if this is the answer to your problem or not, but. Check your set-up and see if your DRL' s are turned on....?

I get the same thing with Auto lights. I've noticed that the lights will switch on as they should when light levels get low enough, but they will also come on in bright sunshine. I thought this may be a safety thing for drivers coming in the opposite direction and have the sun in their eyes that they will more easily see you coming toward them if your main lights are on. Then again I may be talking complete Bo@~#ks.
