2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Stornoway Grey

hands free phone

ok got myself the car phone holder and clicked it into place, and got a nokia 7210 off the bay clipped that into the holder total surprise nothing working!
Was told the 7210 works in the rr holder, do I need to switch something on in the media centre?

2005 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Cairns Blue

I have a receipt among the service history for mine. The owner has been to the dealer complaining the phone holder has no power to it. The dealer has been advised by Land-Rover the phone holders were disabled as part of an update (they're basically redundant with bluetooth phones.)

I fitted a unit lr-media from http://www.incarhandsfree.co.uk/vehicle-da...-2004.html

I have a 2004 vogue with the MOST touch screen. It's not cheap but it's really worth the money.

and works through the touch screen replacing the CD changer....[/url]

Bit confused here, mine is a 2007 TDV8 and has the plug in the centre console, why would i use it when it has bluetooth as standard, phone searches for car, connects, job done

me too I can blue tooth my iPhone to the car for telephone calls only, but have no contacts or music,
I wondered if there was a socket/lead that would connect and everything works, is this what you have?

You might choose to use it as the socket has a connection to the cell aerial in the shark fin. That would provide much better reception than bluetooth to a handset which only uses its internal aerial. Especially if you live in the sticks like some of us.

there is a update for the module that allows contacts to be shown and not having to pair every time you start the vehicle ,,,

im surprised nobody has made leads up with a female connector one end that would fit the connector in the centre console ,so you could us it as a charging point and direct connection to your phone 2007 tdv8 se ,stornaway grey

i expect you could just chop the cables to the back of the holder off and connect it to a USB socket, it would provide a charging point (although not a connection to the nav system.)

Looking at those pics though, does any one know what the recesses either side of the holder are for? Given their strange shapes it looks like they were designed to hold something specific.

The problem is they don't produce cradles for newer phones, making the dock basically obsolete. BMW still do cradles for modern phones, but LR don't, someone said on here he BMW cradles aren't compatible.

I dare say you could replace the factory dock with a Bury dock, and use the power feed and antenna connection from the back of the factory unit to power the Bury one, then connect the phone to the car via bluetooth.

My iphone 6 works fine with downloading contacts and making calls from the touchscreen etc.
