I've an iPhone 4S - able to charge using the ciggy socket hooked up to the base of my iPhone - Bluetooth working well so able to make/ receive calls using Steering wheel etc.... SO how can I change / select tracks on the iPhone using the steering wheel - whch cable do I need. I have hooked up using a 3.5mm jack using the AUX behind centre console to ear-phone socket on iPhone - able to play ok but cant select different artists or change tracks Just bought my Freelander - amazin !

I am running the same configuration as you with the iPhone mounted into the cubby and powered thru the cig socket. I understand there is a LR adaptor to give you the music functionality, but dont know of any workaround... Yet. 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY

Don't think you can without the Adaptor Kit.

Thanks for all the feedback so far, are you saying theer "is" a cable / kit if so where does it fit ? Just bought my Freelander - amazin !

Seem to recall it's not cheap and may not still be available.
Dan at Duckworth Parts will be able to tell you price and availability.

Some info on fitting it here...

Lummie, that is quite steep. Never tell me the odds.

Seams unrealistic to charge this for a cable ! Just bought my Freelander - amazin !

I understand it has to be integrated into the stereo system, so also involves removing some dash panels 2012 DISCOVERY 4 GS AUTO ORKNEY GREY

Alternatively use Siri! Just pull the steering wheel telephone control until you get a beep (as if you were dialling using a voice tag) and say a Siri command - "Play [album Title], Next track....etc

Also works for an iphone 4 using voice control

Well well well, a use for Siri I can leverage, I shall be giving that a go forthwith. if not sooner!


 Never tell me the odds.

Thanks for the postings - I will try Siri tomorrow - sound like it will provide exactly what I'm trying to achieve....

Cheers Just bought my Freelander - amazin !
