Bought an iPhone 4S yesterday and love it!! I've had a BlackBerry for a few years, but always wanted an iPhone after getting used to my iPod Touch. Got the DPS app and bought the profiles so I could use the Bose QC15 profile for my QC3's. DPS works flawlessly on the iPhone 4S and sounds fantastic, so wanted to let you guys know. Keep up the great work!!
DPS and iPhone 4S

ModeratorJust noticed one tiny "glitch". When the first song of an album starts, there's a slight "tick" noise. It also happens if I jump between songs. I double-checked this using the regular Music app and it doesn't do it. It also doesn't happen if DPS is turned off using the B button.

MemberFirst let me say that I love this app! I am also using the Mac System-wide Beta. Wow...what an amazing difference in the music I listen to. I do have a couple of issues I wanted to share. I have an iPhone 4S with the latest OS.
When I use the app (I also have the upgrade installed too) in my car (2011 BMW 335d), connected via the center console USB/2.5mm combo adapter, I am unable to rewind to the previous song on the iPhone, or the steering wheel, so I have to go to the list of songs to go back.
Also, the Airplay icon has been showing intermittently on my iPhone while using the app in the car, and I’m not entirely sure why.
On occasion the app will show up as the device in use when you open up the Multitasking area and swipe left, but not always.
Hope this is helpful. :-)

Unfortunately the transport controls via the USB adapter won't work with third part iOS apps like ours. Apple does not allow a digital audio connection with anything other than iTunes. We are able to operate with the headphone jack, the analog line out dock connector and wireless connections.
It also sounds like DPS is trying to pair with your car's Bluetooth adapter. This may be a good option if your BMW allows a stereo Bluetooth connection. Otherwise check to see if something is "discoverable" when it shouldn't be and the Airplay icon shouldn't appear again.
There is a major update for the iOS app coming soon with all kinds of improvements!

MemberHey Joey, thanks for the reply. Hmmm...How does this app differ from say the Pandora app, in that it does allow use of the transport control to skip forward? Additionally, the Pandora app also sends the metadata to the iDrive display, and the DPS app does not, though it would be really nice if it did. :-)

There are many iOS functions that allow an app to use the features of the iTunes music player and the associated functions you mentioned. However, we must intercept the audio in order to process it. This requires the creation of custom playlists and all kinds of other wizardry that must be custom coded to work the same way as the iTunes Music app. Thus, we are "locked out" so to speak from some of these functions.
I'll ask our programmers about sending the metadata though. That could be a possibility.
