Have an 07 Range Rover and it pairs fine with the IPhone, but won't load address book.

I have an LR3, and I think the only way to load the phonebook is through the cradle interface. My Nokia didn't load via BT either... nor did the voice recognition dialing feature function work.Originally Posted by mjeagent
On another topic, the phone auto-attachment via BT does seem to be an issue. When my wife and I switch use of the car, it won't automatically attach her iPhone after I've been using mine, and vice-versa.
To get the new phone to attach, I have to unpair and then re-pair using the access code. That kinda stinks since again with our Nokias, this wasn't a problem. The car automatically recognized the new phone and attached.
Oh well, maybe in 1.1.2.

I can pair my iphone with the built-in bluetooth system of my '05 supercharged range rover, but each time I come back in the car, I need to unpair then pair back the 2 items. With all my previous phones, once they were paired with the car kit, they automatically connected with it without any extra manipulation. The phone says "paired with land rover" - but it doesn't work until I make the operation again. Anybody knows if I can make the phone to do this ?
I'm pretty sure the problem is that your Land Rover is supercharged (thanks for sharing). Yeah, uh huh, that's it. No, there's no fix.
Yes, the new and improved, updated approved bluetooth compatibility guide for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and LR3 is out. And in 499 pages of PDF documentation, there's not one mention of iPhone.
Is that astounding?

2005 RR: Pairs just fine. Reacquires just fine. Dials or answers just fine.. then drops the connection to the iPhone... but the iPhone doesn't know it has been dropped, so the caller gets silence and I get my radio or whatever. I have to pick up the handset, select "Sources", and pick "iPhone."
If the caller hangs up and calls me back, the Rover rings, I can pick up the call on the Rover, but it happens all over, again.
I have the exact same problem.. whats the answer???
Land Rover Dallas says it is a known incompatibility with iPhone and one model of Blackberry. No fix yet.
Just unpair and wait for an update.
I haven't confirmed this yet but:
" FFR (LM) Range Rover ALL VEHICLES FITTED WITH FACTORY FIT PTI
Vin Range 180214 - 264336
"The customer requests phonebook over bluetooth feature.
"Note
"This feature is at the request of the customer only, and must be charged to the customer. The download time takes approx 50 mins.
Please ensure that the customer phone supports this feature by reffering to the Land Rover approved phone list.
"This feature will enable a Land Rover approved bluetooth phone to display the phone's internal contacts (phonebook) and/or call stacks on the vehicle display. These can then be dialled using the vehicle interface."
I have a 2008.5 model year Discovery3/LR3 and am happy to report that the factory fit PTI now pairs with the iphone and even downloads all the contacts.
I have read elswhere about all sorts of issues but I have had no problems. Hope this helps.
