Just bought a 57 plate Range Rover Sport SE and looking forward to getting out and about (delivered in 2 weeks), I have a question that has no doubt been asked before but i can't seem to find an answer. The car has all the fittings for a mobile to be fitted under the centre box but no craddle so the question is where can i buy the creddle from.

Hi Dave and welcome - I am just along the road from you near Stirling. The cradle is a pain- it only works with a Nokia phone and you have to find the right sub-cradle to fit in the holder under the cubby box lid. You occassionally find them on ebay but since 2008MY that bit has been omitted from the spec and now all RRS's only have the Bluetooth, which you should also have.
Unfortunately now you have to have a cheap and nasty charging cable plugged into the cigarette lighter socket to recharge your phone if you cannot find the correct cradle for your phone. If you switch on your phone's bluetooth and the car ignition then your phone should discover the Land Rover set-up and willask for a password - it is 2121 and then you will be paired. When you park up at home make sure you switch off your phone's bluetooth as the car has an amazing range and often folks will call your mobile and the car will asnwer it even though the phone isn't showing as paired! For phone compatablity you can look on the Land Rover UK website where there is a list of phones and their connectivity 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Will probably go bluetooth and iphone, Nice colour indeed thats the reason we got it, it matches the kitchen. Women eh??
Insurance is next to sort any recommendations we need cover for business use and as we both have always had company cars we have no no claims.

Some companies will give you an allownce for your company vehicle usage as long as you can prove the vehicle you drove and that you never had any accidents with it. Thats what happened when I opted out of the company car scheme, they would allow up to 5 years at Elephant.co.uk but was in 2004.

when i opted out of corporate life, a letter from my past employer stating that i had driven company cars for 5 years without having an accident or raising a claim was good enough to secure full no claims. (still think the red looks great) purple people eater

Tim.
I sometimes have the issue where the car will still answer the phone, even when I am in the office if the car is parked close to the window, so how do I switch off the car bluetooth to stop this from happening? 2010 Alaska white 3.6TDi v8, heated steering wheel, Ipod connection, Aribica extended leather, Digital TV, voice activation, privacy glass, Dynamic pack

Have to get more than 50ft from the car, or wait until the car shuts down itself, or you could disconnect the car in the blue tooth menu of the phone. Not come across anything about disabling the bluetooth in the car. Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

yes you are right, i didn't read Tim's reply properly, and he does say shut down the blue tooth on the phone, 2010 Alaska white 3.6TDi v8, heated steering wheel, Ipod connection, Aribica extended leather, Digital TV, voice activation, privacy glass, Dynamic pack
