Has anyone tried to use their Smart Car Robotics iPhone app with this product? I'd love to use the programming features of that app with this product

The remote control is IR. iPhone does not support IR (InfraRed), thus it will not work. You would need a different battery box, perhaps a project for an Arduino. Dale

I'm still trying to figure it out, but after much button pushing on the radio, it plays Pandora from iPhone on car speakers. I dialed a friend while sinked up to radio, but was not able to make voice call through car speaker. Maybe just haven't figured it out yet.

We have been happy with the doorbot. It does work even if you are not home. More than one person can put app on their phone.

So far I'm using an adapter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZKPCZE/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to make it work with my iPhone 5S... I can no longer use the steering wheel controls though (Mazda 3, 2005). I'm looking for a better option now.

What times I got it to work it was very limited and basic information. I know a couple of my friends who got one and they have had the same problem. It starts off like, hey, this is not bad, but now having problems getting it to communicate. You can spend a little more money and get a much nicer one from one of the auto stores. Do not listen to bs arguments like it's easier to carry around with you, because how often do you need it and when you do, do so in your garage. My wife got it for me as a gift, but is a flop. Sorry if I disappointed you, I just want to be honest. Bottom line, even when you get it to work, it is extremely limited in what you can do.

Does anyone with an iPhone have experience with using this product? I, like the original questioner, need this device just for media/music. My car's Bluetooth is set up for Phone calling/receiving. Apple iPhone does not allow you to set up "Phone only" and "Media only" profiles for Bluetooth like Android does. I'm curious to hear from someone who has used this and owns an iPhone.

I use a Iphone4S with no problems. When you see the OBDII network you have to click on it and then It should connect. I also noticed that my unit will not connect if it is cold and only room temperature and above.If this doesn't work maybe there is a incompatibility problem or you may possibly have a defective unit. This unit has worked on several vehicles without a problem.

Yes, You will need to program it to your car to work. This is the one I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035F0KZC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works very well. I have seen some venders out there that will program it for you but I like being able to program it the way I like and just encase something happens.

The app that works on my son's iPhone 5 is called 'OBD2 Scanner'. It's in The Apple Store under 'https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/obd2-scanner/id652193947 . for about $5. He did have to come up with a WiFi ELM327; This one is a Bluetooth connection; his phone is not compatible with it.

I got the app from the itunes store. I think it is alled ES Remote or something like that and it's free. I have a dedicated I-Pad Mini Retina that I use to control my entire system and it is like having a Control 4 controler pad that would cost over $1000 and does most of what I need.

Haven't ever tried to use it with iphone, so can't help, sorry. Have you seen the youtube demo on the equipment? I found it helpful

I got it for my son as christmass present. He was nagging me about getting him a remote control car which has and is collecting dust. So I got him the robosapien. Except for the annoying sounds, he seems to enjoy programming it. took him a while to learn how to, though. I think though, she would like the miip better

I don't recommend it. The only buttons that worked were the volume buttons and then after a short while it just didn't work with the system at all. That's just my experience with it, though. And way too big for a car remote, in my opinion.

I used it with a 4s. It was hard to program and ended up in the trash. You may want to skip this one and keep looking.
