BAD NEWS

Full integration (ie phonebook access, SMS text) depends on the phone being fitted to a cradle which connects to the underside of the central armrest lid. Therefore it is no longer a Bluetooth connection but a direct one. This is explained in the separate phone system handbook but it wouldn't surprise me if you all didn't get one. I had to find out by reading a Disco 3 manual. Surprised your dealers didn't know though! The cradle costs about £85 incl tax in the UK.

WORSE NEWS

The above does not apply to the Nokia 6230i which wont work fully despite the cradle, only the older 6230. Whether this will change with a software upgrade either to the phone or the car is hard to say. Range Rover Sport TdV6HSE in Bonatti Grey + 20" Stormer wheels (ex X5 and ML driver)

My wife has just received her new Nokia 6230i ( upgrade from 6230 ) and after few problems copying over all info/contacts/outlook etc I await only to try it in dealers demo RRS supercharged ASAP.

Anne has only just received this phone dispite it being avail for sometime because she is with O2 who refused to release it themselves ( O2 direct ) untill they were happy with it. We had repeatedly been told by them that it was put back .... put back.....put back....for technical reasons? Having looked on various mobile phone forums it appears there has been much sadness concerning the 6230i esp. early models & phones4u had gone to lengths of not selling anymore & recalling them all?

For your information Annes software/firmware version of the phone is v03.40 dated 23-05-05 You can check this by entering *#0000# into your phone , by the way they are zero's.

It would appear there are many people out there with much earlier versions? Here are 2 such links:-

note they are consistently running on v3.3

Hope this may shed some light on the matter

Didn't I post that earlier in this thread when someone asked what they could do over Bluetooth? FYI: SMS is NOT supported on Range Rover Sport or LR3, only Range Rover.

I am using my Blackberry phone, and sometimes the system works like a charm, and at others I find the RRS causing the phone to dial but not picking up the sound from the call, so that I have to revert to the phone to talk. Has anyone had a similar problem?

If Bluetooth is a standard, shouldn't we assume any Bluetooth phone should work? Thanks,

I have the factory fitted bluetooth coupled with a cradle for the Nokia 6230i. The phone book etc cannot be operated through bluetooth, however a 6230 and other Nokia phones worked well in the cradle. All functions were available via the dash. I just don't want to change my phone

I was told by LR that the phone software needed a flash upgrade which you can get free via a nokia service centre. This did not work. A tech from nokia advised that the phone software is being updated quicker than the cars, so expect an upgrade to the RRS soon.

The problem is the phonebook differences.

In a 6230 the phonebook will only accept one number per name.

In a 6230i there are Name sub menu phone numbers. i.e. Home, Mobile etc. this is the problem with the RR software. In order to display on centre console there needs to be a software update that allows sub menus via console button press.

No mean programming feat I would imagine. Especially as the RR also has it's own voice recognition menu stored within it for designated names.

I use a version 7.1 6230 and it works 100% and very effectively too.

OK, first of all I was at my dealer today and 2 weeks to go till my Supercharged delivery!

Second, as far as my dealer is concerned...."We still havent figured out which phone will dock properly in the cradle or work; we should figure it out within the next 6 months." What does this mean?

Now Im really confused. 2006 Java Black Supercharged RR Sport / Overfinch tips

Isn't it odd how in the UK we call them Mobiles and most other places around the world they are quite rightly called Cell Phones (relating to the networks cells they operate in)

If I say Cell phone to anyone here they look at me like I am a loon. L319 D4 HSE
