If you are refering to the LR i-pod connectivity module, you need to be aware that they have just changed the part number and the kit now comes with a lead that terminates in the upper glove-box. If you can get the old part number then you will benefit from the cradle which is mounted to the right of the steering wheel. I would advise the supplying dealer fitting it before you take delivery so that you get the three-year warranty as opposed to one-year if purchased afterwards (assuming you are buying a new vehicle).

LR just rang to say iPod connector fitted but no cradle even after 3 warnings not to get the wrong bit.

But they have turned it round and have engineer there Tuesday to install a cradle as well. M3 CSL Silver Grey

I just ordered my RRS TDV8 a few weeks ago, and is still going back and forth regarding the iPod connectivity kit. Of course they say they can only deliver the new one, with the connections in the glove compartment, or the centre console, and of course I want it with the cradle, next to the steering wheel.

So, I put my foot down, and now he says he can get the original kit, but it only works for iPod generations 1 and 2. I have the iPod Photo, which is generation 4 I think.

Can anyone confirm if the iPod Photo works in the original LR cradle?

Thanks in advance,

Range Rover Sport 3.6 TdV8 HSE (2009), with everything ticked on the accessories list:)

Now that we cannot have the phone cradle under the centre cubby box lid wouldn't it be a good idea if LR's boffins could engineer an iPod/iPhone cradle to fit there? Something similar to the iPhone holder they have created for the LRX and could charge the iPhone/pod as you drive. If they could do it for a Nokia mobile it should be quite possible for an iPod/iPhone! It would also look better than the dashboard mount and be accessible by the driver unlike the latest version in the glove box. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Don't suppose the Belkin ipod connection that I use through the aux socket would work with the iPhone Cos I leave my ipod in the tray on top of the fridge having set the pod to play randomly.

That Belkin connector has served my ipod very well for £30 ish and no problems for the last 21/2 years. Good value and as long as you get the black version direct from Apple you hardly notice it in the car. MY08 RRS TDV8 HSE, Stornoway Grey, Ebony and Zabrano, sunroof, hybrid tv, premium ICE, rear E diff, privacy glass, side steps, mud flaps, S/Grey mirror covers, Venture shield,tasmods, smoked indicators, Larini sports exhaust, etc, etc.
