Thought I'd let you know that the Apple iPhone fits into the LR iPod cradle, if you remove the top clasp on the cradle.

It enables you to control the iPhones iPod function through the stearing controls and if you pair the iPhone up to the bluetooth then you have a fully functional handsfree kit with charging cradle and iPod controls.

If you dont have the intergrated bluetooth module and you use a bluetooh headset instead, the iPhone automatically mutes when a call is made or recieved.

So few posts but you come up with a gem! Well done.  RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.

DO NOT CLICK HERE!

No problem, just one thing I forgot to mention, when you place the Iphone in the cradle, a message will come up on the iphone asking if you wish to switch it to flight safe mode or something, just hit the "no" button and all is good.

Also some may wish to remove the mounting screw cover to make the Iphone fit better, its up to you.

Not that i have the iphone or the ipod bit in the RRS but

Thanks for the info, Bulldog

As time goes by I expect this question will be asked more and more. Made it a sticky. 

well I have the iphone for 4 month and from the first day on also in the RRS. In my case I have it connected via bluetooth for phone calls and over a ipod plug to the 12V and the Aux behind the armrest. The cable goes thrue the joint of the arm rest and the iphone perfectly finds place under the armrest over the refridgerator.
I can not control the phone over the steeringwheel, but can use it over the high def. screen of the phone it self and do phonecalls over the bluetooth.

Does the iphone need manually connected everytime you get in the car?
If not, what model year do you have? Range Rover Sport SC - Java / Tasmods / Skirts
Morgan Plus 8

Had mine installed in the glovebox with the so called USB option, supposed to be a bonus...........reality, the USB is and with anything more than a 256 stick, it just gives up.

As for the cradle option - good find and tip.....unfortunately as mine is stuck away in the glovebox, I am unable to see what track is playing due to the inefficiencies of the system  My Gladiators:

There is a new cable coming out Nick at Yeovil has mentioned it on the other side, he is known as TLO DS3 TDV6 HSE

Hi, thanks, great tip. Can you be a little more specific with regard to the LR iPhone Cradle? Did you get it from LR dealer and how much was it? Lastly, did you also have to have the latest firmware upgraded too or did it work on the old version?

Thanks again
