Motorola also sell this for £60 which isn't as sophisticated as the Parrot CK3100 I have as it cannot read the phone's phonebook like the Parrot.

The Parrot is excellent but if you go for it try to get it better integrated than the way the dealer did mine, I would have preferred it to have been flush mounted on the dash, but didn't tell them that that was what I wanted!

Thanks for the advice folks. I have a parrot on another vehicle and have agree that the dashboard mount ain't all that pretty.

I would prefer a system bluetooth or hardwired which will allow me to use the radio to scroll the address book.
Does the BT system do that. I'm not familiar with that system. More info would be great.
The system recomended by wokkaman looks quite good so thanks for that.

The LR PTI system does not synchronise your phone's address book across to the car via BT - not yet anyway... you only get this with a LR-supplied cradle (which obviously you can only use if you have an appropriate phone).

My local car customisers have given me two possible fixes to a factory phone retro fit.

Option One is to replace the sat nav screen with their own touchscreen which will retain all current functions and also add touch screen phone, ipod, and dvd video control for the rear tv screens.

The only thing they could not guarantee was the vehicle settings display function on the new touchscreen but they did offer to reposition the orginal screen in the boot or somewhere else in the vehicle with the vehicle functions intact.

Option two was to take out an air vent and rebuild an identical airvent with a touch screen which is colour coded to the existing vehicle screens.

I have chosen option 2 on the centre air vent between the sat nav and the steering wheel.
This blue tooth touchscreen will mute out radio and bring up scrolling address book and full interactive functions and they are hardwiring a charging cradle in normal position under centre cubby hole lid.
£600 the lot.

I will post before and after photos when the job is complete.

IN PAIN!

Sorry for the confusion but I'm not understanding what is going on with these phones and their address book.
I have a new RR Sport, I have the bluetooth setup but I can't load the phone book with my new verison LG phone. But I can use both the razor V3C and another older motorola phone to do it. Any help that would make sense of this. Plus they don't make the cradle for the newer phones so I can even buy an add on to make it work. Do I really need to reprogram all of these numbers?

The approved phone guide says the only LG phone which has been tested is the KG800 - also, only the newest BT module in the car allows you to synch the phonebook. Previous versions did not do this. But given you've said you have a couple of other phones that do it successfully - the problem looks like it's with your LG. Is there a newer firmware you can get for your LG? Might be worth updating it to see if anything improves.

Good luck with that

And LR's Blutooth PTi is a dead loss with a Motorola V3i, it only seems to want to read 5 numbers from the phone's phone book and then it says that the memory is empty! Looks like I'll be looking for another Parrot that can do everything that I expected the LR PTi to be able to do and it can handle up to 5 different phones simulataneously (not that I have 5 phones to test their claim!) It would be nice just to get the LR system just to read a single phone book completely!

Hi everyone, found you forum a few weeks back it's great so much information to look through it's hard to know what to look at first - so the everyday practical problems first!

It seems really odd that with all the technology the car has that it isn't able to upload a phonebook, I have a 2007 MY and as others can't upload the phonebook via bluetooth. although I understand that 2008 MY can.

If I have it right there may be a fix from LR - does anyone know about this and it's availability or what should I ask the dealer to do so that the phonebook becomes visible

cheers

Bit of an update;

talked to two dealers who have no idea what I'm talking about, they say yeah only available from 2008 MY vehicles onwards not aware of any upgrades.

Is it worth persisiting or buy a cradle?
