Whn i picked up my FL2 SE they was "VERY suprised" to hear that a phone didn't work with the bluetooth radio/phone.

My new SE K800i turned off every time i tried to connect, (tried on a HSE in show room aswell), were as my old SE K750i worked with the system.

After numours phone calls and emails with both SE and landrover i gave up trying.

BUT, there has been a software update from SE (you can find this on their website, small program which will check for updates for your phone sofeware when you tell it to). the latest update has now got my K800i working with the system.

So if your having problems, check your phones software!!!!

Has anyone one asked LandRover why the PTI doesn't support N- and E- series nokia phones?

This must be a major oversight on their behalf. I like my nokia(s)!

I thought bluetooth was a standardised communication method, but I could be wrong. Is it a symbian OS issue? The whole thing really confuses me.

When i was have my problems, LR said it was that the FL2 was in the design process for so long, bluetooth technology on phones moved forward.

If you ask me that was a excuse, when most bluetooth devices are compatable to both V1.0 & V2.0 bluetooth.

I think the system is based on a Motorola design as all there phones seem to be "Fully Compatable"

But when my phones comes up for exchange & renewel I hope the new iPod phone works as that looks like the dogs b*@@*cks

Amazing that parrot or tom tom have no problems with this - so why do LR? D4 HSE Lux for me
FL2 HSE Zermatt & Alpacca for the wife now gone
Skoda Yeti L&K for the wife.

Just got myself the New Nokia Communicator E90 and HORRRRRAAAAAY it connects and can make and recieve calls with it. Havent tried transfering phone book because I have over 600 Contacts so that would take a while, but going to get some food and take a drive and try it out now

OK so my New Nokia Communicator E90 which Uses Symbian S60 Version 3 is not only a great great phone but also works with the stoooooooooooopid car kit, now it recieves and makes calls etc etc but it cant load the phonebook (and who can blame it with over 600 contacts in it I wonder how long it would take if it could!!) well if there is an update or whatever which would work with the E series I really hope to get it soon, so that I can use all my new toys for big boys

With regards to PDA Cellphones... I'm using a T-Mobile (USA) MDA with Windows Mobile 5
(HTC Wizard Model)

I was able to make it work with my LR2 in minutes after doing the pairing and setting-up the Port to receieve it.

Here's the procedure: (NOTE: May vary with other Phone Models please proceed with caution)

On your PDA
1. go to bluetooth setting
2. make sure it's on and discoverable
3. create a new partnership
4. "My Car" will appear as a new Bluetooth device
5. Select service to use from this device (if prompted)
6. Check the "Hands Free" box and save setting
7. on COM Ports select INCOMING PORT and choose a PORT - (ex. COM7)

(this maybe the problem I see with other phones... when i connect to my GPS receiver
(got Tomtom6 for PDA) I use OUTGOING PORT as my PDA connects TO MY GPS DEVICE for satellite signal right? ...right!

TO ALLOW OTHER DEVICES to CONNECT (like the case of LR2 BT telephone system) you need INCOMING PORT to open-up, IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, YOUR LR2 is the one connecting to your phone.

Hope this would help.  Do Not Follow Me...You Can't Go Where I Go!!!

Yup..

Here goes a step by step procedure

1. create a partnership with your PDA first.

2. it will detect/recognize LR2's bluetooth with an automatic name "My Car" (with a cute headset icon )

3. then on your LR2 click and search for bluetooth phone

4. upon recognizing your PDA, a prompt will appear on your PDA saying your LR2 wanted to pair.

5. at the same time a PIN CODE will appear on your LR2's mini screen (not the NAV screen )

6. enter this CODE in your PDA. (Memorize it as it will ask you again just like what happened when I paired my wife's PDA when it won't pair the first time)

7. Upon succesfull pairing, on your PDA It will ask you what kind of service will you use

8. a box with a Hand Free will appear on your PDA

9. check/click/tick the box and FINISH

10. NOW goto COM PORTS on your PDA

11. Add an INCOMING PORT and select whatever port and uncheck the SECURE box
(for some reason I can't figure out it won't go if the SECURE box is check/tick

12. WHAALAAAA!!! DIAL A NUMBER TURN UP THE VOLUME and enjoy talking to your phone via LR2 speakers with the whole neighbor hearing you

I tried this procedure and it worked the first time it paired, as has been my experience with previous attempts. However, when I switched the bluetooth connection to another phone and then back to my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard WM 5.0) it does what it has done the other times I've tried, it appears to make a connection but then won't switch to handsfree when I dial on the handset or attempt a call when I dial using the phone key pad.

Unfortunately, I fall at the first hurdle. If I try and create the pairing from my PDA, it doesn't find anything to pair with (I suspect "My Car" is not discoverable). If I try to pair from my car, it finds my PDA, gives me the PIN, but when I enter the PIN into my PDA I just get a failed to connect message immediately on the car and after 10 seconds or so on PDA.

Ok here's what I did... I deleted my wife's PDA and started all over again...

using the same steps above, it took me 5 to 10 times (lost count actually ) before I was able to pair it.
succesfull but weird as it took me half an hour to do it.

If all things fail..I think you just need to talk to her (your LR2 as if she has life )
and tell her "common please make it work.. i'll wash you everyday ) Do Not Follow Me...You Can't Go Where I Go!!!
