iPhone Integration

[kylesolid]

Im looking to get a receiver that will allow me to control my iPhone (1st Gen). I've found that any solution I try for my factory system picks up that horrible GSM buzz, and it kills me. I have found that a coworkers receiver (some cheap brand) does not buzz when going through the aux in. I cant seem to find any useful reviews on this functionality. Im thinking about getting a Clarion CZ509.

I'm wondering if the usb in on a nice receiver would work without buzzing. Please post any experience with any receivers and iPhones.

I went to Best Buy to test some head units and they only had 2 hooked up to speakers.

Their Alpine (sorry I didn't pay attention to the model) didn't work at all. It just said "usb device error" or something. This was apparently due to the fact that I wasn't using the special Alpine iPod cable.

I also tested a Pioneer (I believe it was the DEH-P7000BT). This unit, using my iPhone USB cable, gave me perfect buzz free sound. The forward and back controls worked from the receiver, as well as the pause when I was receiving a call. The one thing that was bad about this one was the fact that pausing a track can only be achieved by navigating through a functions menu and selecting "pause on" and "pause off" to resume. This is kind of annoying.

Anybody else tested their iPhones with any recievers?
