Only had my car since Monday, and paired my phone that morning. Every time i get in the car, I have to connect it. NOT re-pair it with the car, just tell it to connect.

Is this "normal"? I mean since its paired should it not reconnect every time i get int he car automatically? I know its not a big deal, but unless I remember to do it straight away when I get in, it rings in my pocket.

Before you ask, bluetooth is always switched on my phone.

Ta

Yes - normal.

It is possible - providing my bluetooth on the phone is switched on the phone connects automatically each time I get into the car.

Can't recall at the moment whether it is a phone or car setting which allows this to happen.

What phone have you got? Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

Dont hate me, I have an iPhone. (3GS)

No judgement here, had a 3g for 2 years just got a 4. Best phone I've owned.

Anyway...

My 4 sometimes connects sometimes doesn't. The 3g always connected up straight away. (I am certain with the 3g it asked if it should connect automatically and I said yes...)

According to the Landrover website http://www.landrover.com/Microsites/GWS40M...rket=gb-en the phone should Auto connect. (It also seems that they haven't tested 4.0.1)

Try removing the pairing, making the phone forget the device and repair. Might work.  Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

On my phone, (Nokia something), I have a "Connect automatically without confirmation" setting. This does what it says and once paired, it will connect every time. It should be a standard Bluetooth option.

Yep, it's a phone thing, not the car. We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

My 3gs connects automatically, running 3.1.3 software. Previous samsung needed to confirm connection which was annoying. So it's phone dependent. Phil

Did I misread the original post - or.....

Anyway - once paired (took 5mins and did so first attempt) my BB Curve 8200 always automatically connects with the FL2 - but - ONLY if the FL2 ignition is switched on. If the ignition is off it doesn't handshake when I sit in the vehicle!

And of course you do need whatever Bluetooth mobile you have to be switched on.

My iPhone 4 connects automatically everytime and my Nokia used to as well. 09 FL2 HSE auto Lago Grey
71 Triumph Stag 3L
68 NGTCV8 3.5L

The Freelander bluetooth set up is absolute rubbish in my experience, your'e better off scrapping it & using a Parrot! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

Automatic.....I could be sitting in my FL2 talking on the mobile, and as soon as I start the ignition the bluetooth kicks in and my conversation automatically switched to handsfree.

It has paired up ok, is it not just a case of the settings in the handset, the automatic connection is in the Trusted Devices, unless you have set the Trusted Devices it will ask you each time

The car will connect to the LAST phone it connected, provided the bloototh is on on said phone. If the last phone connected is not yours, you need to chose it from the menu.
