Is there any upgrade for the original bluetooth connection.
I used to have a Samsung S8000 and that worked perfect with the car.
Now I have a HTC Desire with Android 2,2 and I have some huge problems.
It connects and syncs the phonebook.
Problem is that it only show numbers and strange letters.
Also first call works, but when I set up the second call it mutes the stereo, but places the call on the HTC.
As of now I don't use the handsfree because of these problems.
I have a 2007 HSE.
Any help is appreciated. FL2, TD4 HSE

I have had problems with my RRS bluetooth - had to replace my Nokia 5800 with Samsung Jet S8000 to make it work.

See here for compatibility

Amazing my Garmin Nuvi works with everything.....  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I've had the desire for about 5 months now and no problems at all thats with an 09 SE so I don't know if the bluetooth is fifferent, it was fine to start with and still is after the Froyo update.

OEM Bluetooth always seems to be a nightmare. Never quite understood why as it is supposed to be a standard format. I remember I had it in my 1 series and there were loads of people that had issues with it. None for me, I had an old Sony Ericson phone that was fully compatible, but when it came to upgrade, the numbers of "compatible" phones was really limited.

E.V's problems are pretty well documented on here. I have none of the issues that he has had and I am amazed that LR have not been able to fix them to E.V's satisfaction! Hi Darling, I'll be home in 10 mins. If I'm not back, please read this message again...

i have a htc tytn 2 and have flashed it with numerous none of which worked on windows 6.1 but if i upgraded the rom to 6.5 it would sync but still problems ( need 6.1 to be compatible though )

On a lighter note the wifes iphone 4 with 4.1 upgrade works perfectly  freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold

I have a Parrat system in my Rover 25GSi & also in the MG ZR-Express & all the phones work well with them. I have also paired my phones with a customer who I chaeuffeur sometimes in his Audi's & no problems with them either. (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.

My I-Phone works really well both with the original software and updated IOS 4 software. Can't fault it FL2 HSE Sumatra black with body kit

HTC HD2 - no problems at all both the original and custom ROMs. Was not able to make a voice dial though.
Real problem is missing Cyrillic characters on the display so I had to retype the whole phonebook

crap. I have tried everything. Still only shows the phonebook as numbers and single letters..........  FL2, TD4 HSE

Was going to say, totally tongue-in-cheak, buy a nuvi and some velcro  We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

I have a HTC desire, also on 2.2 and have the same problem! My phonebook ia basically A, ö, ä, Aä etc and makes no sense whatsoever! The LR website says the phone is fully compatible, but doesnt list the 2.2 software update

I am so fed up with the system tha LR Customer Relations have sugested they may pay for a "Parrat" system to be fitted to my car!!

No solution to my problem.........tried every trick in the book now. Have given up. FL2, TD4 HSE

Not sure why you are all having so many problems.

HTC Wildfire running Android 2.2.1 links in to my MY11 FL with few problems - doesn't always connect first time might be because have my phone 'Hidden' but once connected no problems as far as I know. Last dialled, last received and phone book search no problem at all. There's always a way forward!

2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!!
