Hey guys... Just got the brand new update to the I931. They have made some changes boy. Remember the post a few days ago where the member got a new I931 and it had no plug in for IPod. Well there was a reason for that. It no longer supports IPod/IPhone as a plug in. It actually isn't even called an I931 but now it's the 931BT.

They have really skimped on this as you get the new BT remote but just a cheap copy of manual and the windows for tuner and LEDs are not as clear as before. But the wattage being used is still 58 watts. The only other thing I noticed is the back of unit still states I931 !!! I actually like it though.

I tested it with my IPhone 4s and I get about 30 feet of music but when I tested it with Jeannie's HTC I only was able to walk away 10-15 feet.

Well enjoy pics and video :-)

You can still use Aux in to run devices as well. It's still a neat feature for non iPhone users ;-)

Thanks for the review Bill,

I can promise you, the reason Lasonic did away with the iPhone connection is licensing costs. Just to use the word "iPhone" on their paper work cost's them money. Apple :thumbsdown:

All my posts regarding Blu Tooth Mods to radio's all work exactly like you just showed. I think it's a cool thing. Don't iPhone's have A2DP Blu Tooth connectivity? If so, iPhone owners should be able to do the same with their phones.

Can I ask what you paid?

I agree....but I also believe Apple got a cut from each I931 sold. I paid $150 shipped which was cheapest I found.

Not sure what you mean about Bluetooth but I was able to connect and got better distance than HTC, about 30 feet or so :-)

Yeah, I'm sure Apple got a small cut. $150 ain't bad shipped :no:

Since I use my blu tooth all the time, I may drop the cash and pick one up....I don't have a black one so ;-)

My HTC gets about 30 feet away....

definitely great price for black but $150 was cheapest for White which will be harder to get after a while :-)

Nope, Not at all....Actually, the new Lasonic's are made from a super high impact plastic that would probably survive an IED

And I just don't understand the negative reviews....For $150, I just don't think you can beat the sound and volume!

My older i931 ROARS!

If you want better sound quality, go for the $400+ TDK :-/

One other thing I found out today speaking with Lasonic. The new decals/labels on the 931BT are made so they won't melt in the sun. That is why when I said the window part on tuner and LEDs is not as clear. I also noticed they feel thicker than originals. :-). So I guess they are listening to the customers and making changes ;-)

Manual don't say anything since it's just a small sheet of paper which is totally useless.
