Hi all,

My "new" 2002 FFRR Td6 has satnav, telephone (which I never tried to use), cd changer (in the glove box ) and cassette player .

But does it have voice recognition?

One thing is for sure the steering wheel has the button... but when I pressed it, no one says anything (other than my wife, that always says - "forget it, that thing does not work" )

Do I have to activate it somewhere else?

Am I going to finally listen: "YOU RANG, Sir"?  MML

when you press it ,it should bing if it doesnt then it sounds like that option isnt there.. ... - .- -.

What model is it? Discovery 4 HSE
1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF
1982 Series 3 Hard Top

*Gone:L462 D5 HSE LUX, L663 Defender 110 HSE, Discovery 3 HSE, 2014MY Range Rover Sport 5.0 Supercharged AB Dynamic; L405 Exec Vogue SE 4.4, 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography, Defender TDCi XS CSW, Defender TD5 HT, Vogue SE TDV8, Vogue TD6, RRSport SC 4.2V8, Classic 3.9 Vogue Auto, Land Rover Series 3 SWB

That's another curious thing.

I went to the local RR stealer for some parts I need. They've asked for the VIN and told me that it was going to be difficult, but possible, to get the model badge... I asked why and he said that my model was the 35th Anniversary.

I now know that's not true! They must have made some kind of mess over there. Mine is very simple (as any FFRR can be ), Spartan , and specially its green and ivory.

All that said, I believe it's the HSE.  MML

The SE and HSE models didn't have Voice Recognition as standard, it was on the Vogue and Vogue SE models only as standard.

Problem Solved. Discovery 4 HSE

Casette Player?

Sounds as if you have a very similar spec. to me. I have most of the goodies on board, and the buttons for the voice recognition, but the voice recognition doesn't work, and the message centre tells me that it is not enabled or something similar. I also have a third party phone setup, with a cradle for a Nokia 6310, which is linked into the system so I can dial through the car. Also never use this now, as HTC One X smartphone with it's speaker is good enough for the occasional call I make when in traffic, etc.

And yes the first run of FFRRs came with a cassette player tucked away behind the screen. .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
Volvo V70 P2 2006 2.4 Petrol 170bhp Estate SE
MG Midget Mk1 1962

Previous: L322 Range Rover TDV8 3.6 2008; L322 Range Rover TD6 3.0 2002; P38A Range Rover V8 1999

Exactly the cassette player is hidden behind the electric screen that slides downwards.

Regarding the phone, I have an original system - from Siemens - hidden in the "first floor/layer" of the cubby box. Below the cradle there is a slot for a big SIM card - I'm going to try it out.

Stan: no bing
RRUK: prob solved!

No help then... times aren't what they used to be, I guess  MML

make sure the sim in on vodafone or o2 as others wont work... ... - .- -.
