Mine doesn't seem to charge, but I can move forward and backward through my Spotify playlists. Geoff

I’ve had a good read of this thread and would like to know if I can connect my iPhone 7plus to my 2005 vogue se without buying a bovee. I’ve seen the bit about 30 pin connector but where would that go??? 🤷‍♂️ I’m a newby to RR and have me a 4.2 supercharged 😬 loving it. I have loads of questions but will try find the answers on hear before asking. Thanks for your advice in advance though 👍

Goes into the genuine Land Rover cable which has a connector in the cubby box

@carl, the LR ipod 30 pin connector will only work on the 2010-2012 years..

If you have the SC you should have the aux socket - I use a Bluetooth device connected through this .. 4.2 SC - sold , now bought back

don't know anything about audio stuff but car looks good with dark roof and wheels

Can the Bovee be used to stream 'waze' app for sat nav like on the Audi.  2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

The only non surgical way on you model year is as Stan said the aux in socket in the back and a Bluetooth dongle on the end, then tuck them into the cubby and you don’t se it. The other way is the LR iPod kit, but these are expensive and require some disassembly of the dash for fitting. Check in the front glove boxes to see if you have something fitted. There may be something a previous owner has done.

Some have rewired the rear aux socket so it doubles up into the cubby. So you don’t have a cable. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Ive got a 30 pin to lightning adaPter.. no reaction

So I’ll go for the bovee and let you know

Well after extensive testing I can confirm that the non genuine 30pin adapter doesn't work and I have been listening to downloaded Spotify playlists for the last few weeks with no problem using the genuine lead - no need for Bovee which is a shame because I wanted to mess about with one.

I usually set the iPhone playing before connecting because otherwise the RR doesn't see the playlist

I don't have charging through the lead though despite the fact that it charges my old iPod  Geoff

I've just picked up my 2010 model SC AB today (very nice!) and need to get the sounds sorted. Amazing that JLR didn't incorporate Bluetooth playback in a car like this, but hey.

So from reading this thread, my understanding is that I can either get a genuine cable, which will allow control via the steering wheel (and track info on the dash??) or go for the Bovee option for normal Bluetooth connection once the Bovee is plugged into the socket in the centre console?

Any thoughts on which option is best? Or is it just down to personal reference?

Ho much should I be paying for each option?

Thanks.

Hmm, I was trying to avoid adding too much extra hardware Stan, as I understand it the Bovee option is basically a Bluetooth dongle which you "lose" in the cubby?

Well, I bought a used cable from eBay which works, but doesn't charge. This is plugged into an old iPhone 4 with no SIM, just using it as an iPod or hotspotting off my iPhone 8 for Spotify, so no Apple adaptor lead involved as the iPhone 4 has the old style connector. Should it be charging? I'm wondering now whether the cable is a genuine JLR item; I thought it was.
