Have you got an ipod or iphone plugged in to the USB port? The Rangie won't allow you to have Bluetooth streaming when an Ipod is connected even if you aren't listening to it.
Also, the sound is really, really quiet when on Bluetooth for some reason. When I listen to other sources, I have it on 10-16. When on Bluetooth, I have it on 35 (at 10, you can't hear anything).

BT audio level is also controlled by the device when connected, try maxing out the volume on the phone while it's playing while streamed EM. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

2015 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Santorini Black

Nothing else plugged in, tried turning volume up significantly and volume on pad is such that I can watch a movie in the house no problem

Thanks. Yes, I did know that. But even so, the sound is still lower than a hardwired connection.

Annoyingly, when I use my Road Pilot speed camera app, the warnings slightly mute the audio feed but the app then never unmutes it again. So I have to turn it up further and then find the next camera warning is ear-splitting.

Road Pilot - must have a look at that for my other car

For the RR use Pocket GPS which allows me to upload the cameras as POI's on the RR sat nav

Might be worth asking Meridian - they may refuse & refer you to Landcover, but you never know....

It must be the way the phone is sending it over BT. Is it the same with a different make/Model of phone over BT?

My pioneer unit in another car is just as good as the hardwired connection as it automatically locks the volume on my phone....

I'd have given up & gone with headphones - I would't listen to the soundtrack for whatever my kids were watching anyway - that's what headphones are for

Appreciate that but she's too young for headphones so was really hoping I could get this to work

You could try a different way to get something into the Aux feed - something like this will probably work,

Dealer got it to wot today, movie on the pad and sound through the speakers on the RR.

He wasn't totally sure what he did, just said he disconnected I then paired it and voilà

Well happy with this result, finally something to smile about
