Hi all

just had a quick look on this section of the forum could anyone help

i am looking to purchase a Range Rover L322 probably Vogue. Does anyone know if my I phone 4 will connect via bluetooth to a 2002 onwards model for phone calls and would i be able to play music via bluetooth or need some form of wire if this model has an aux socket

thanks in advance

1st you need to find a Vogue or Autobiography that has the Phone installed. Then you need to swap the phone module out for the Bluetooth module. This is easy peasy.

I've not done this in mine, I just divert my main number to the car phone. It was the easier solution for me

In terms of playing music from an apple device - you want the Intravee system. I fitted this in mine with great success, the benefit of this is the DAB upgradability come FM switch off day!

For the late 2005 and newer cars, no to music, but yes for calls and displaying the contacts, although you may need to upgrade it to get the contacts working if it's not been done already.

Dan has covered 2002 - 2005 cars in the post above.

thanks chaps 2 things is the phone module expensive/difficult to get hold of secondly aren't all vogues/autobiographies built with phone kits how do i tell is it just as simple as trying to pair up my phone when i go to look at a vehicle or is there something physical to look for in the car?

thanks

Firstly Bluetooth was never fitted to the Pre 05's. To get this it is a "mod" which is simple enough. The cost of the BT unit ranges from £70-£250. They are easy to track down on eBay. Search for BMW Bluetooth ULF or variants on that theme...

Not all Vogues or AB's had the phone. It was optional on all.

You can tell if it has the phone by lifting the cubby box lid and seeing if there is a phone in there

All RR's from 2002 onwards can play ipods/mp3's over the ICE: for the earlier RR's (pre touch screen) the intravee is the best solution - as Dan says. For the early touch screen models (2005-06) you need the OEM LR audio connectivity module (which the dealer says is only for 2007>) but you'll need to remove the dash pad for the install (an extra 1.5hrs work). 2007-09 is no prob with the LR ACM and 2010> have the system in place ex-factory.

Bluetooth on the early models is easy - as Dan says - but don't just plug the module in: you need to re-pin the plug to the module. And you don't need to have the bitII phone in the car: many came with a phone prep (look for a harness with a large white 10-pin spade connector and a similarly sized black 54-pin connector in the boot under the nav drive). If worst comes to worst, the harness can be retrofitted for about GBP150.

Come back and ask once you've bought a RR for specific help.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but you boys sound like you could help me out

I bought a 2005 RR a few weeks back and couldnt get any Bluetooth phone to find the car..

I bought and plugged in a replacement nokia module, brand new from LR, still nothing.

Can anybody help? It's driving me nuts

Are you saying my 2005 hasn't got Bluetooth? Was changing the nokia a waste of time?

Cheers

when you changed the nokia module it certainly has bluetooth.

As it's an oem bit you'll have to talk to your very friendly local dealer. I purchased 2 for under GBP300 a little over a year ago - they usually run slightly over GBP300.

If you hang on a bit I might be able to help with a unit that, while similarly priced will offer much more than just ipod connectivity.

Hi guys I just got a parrot kit fitted to my 2005 facelift and I needed some sort of adapter to connect to the fibre optic system. I can now play music from Ipod, usb, sd card & Iphone which can also be via bluetooth.
But I do have a question, I just listened to the hifi in a 2006 4.4 RRsport and the bass is a lot heavier than my Logic 7 system! Is this right or have I got a fualty sub?

You just need to adjust the bass, and it can be set to different levels for each source...

Very interested in the Audio Connectivity Modules part number so we could maybe see if duckworth would do a group buy and thus reduce the price further for us if we say got 10 on order for 2005-2006 cars???

Hi guys, just purchased a 2004 53 plate full fat and would like to upgrade the nav to the Mark 4 unit but I am unsure if this will provide Bluetooth?
Reading above I get impression that the Bluetooth is additional into the phone in the centre console. All links gratefully looked at
Cheers

The Mk4 nav is seperate to the phone module.

Does your car have a phone fitted currently? 

Yes it does. Looks very eighties but it works with the sim in it
