At the risk of relentless mocking, has anyone installed the bluetooth module in their LR3 HSE? My closest dealer in Jacksonville has been telling me that the system is terrible and will only cause problems. Yet, now LR is including the system as standard on 06 LR3 HSEs. Does anyone have any experience with the LR system? I understand, it won't allow me higher approach angles, increased ground clearance, greater off-road or on-road capability, nor will it make me stronger, smarter, or better looking. Thanks.

The dealer installed system is NOT worth the money. The factory installed system is nice to have. They are two completely different systems with completely different functionality. With the dealer system, you have no cradle, so no address book, phone charging, or increased antenna. You also can't use the radio keypad to dial. What you can use are the steering wheel controls and voice activated dialing, but that's it. The main function the dealer installed system provides is to mute the stereo when you get an incoming call and allow you to answer it with your steering wheel.

Also be advised that with ALL Land Rover bluetooth systems, there are only a FEW phones that work. Any text based phone does not connect (blackberry, treo, sidekick, etc...).

I'm kind of the resident bluetooth expert at my dealership, so I'll be glad to answer any more in-depth questions you have. However, my opinion is that installing the dealer system is a waste of money.

Alyssa, thanks! Is there something you would recommend that would offer handsfree functionality and not look out of place in an LR3? I would like something permanent that works. Thanks again.

Hi Alyssa,

My in-laws picked up a new 06 Range Rover, and are getting new Motorola Razr V3c phones. Is the bluetooth phone system in the Range Rover have the same limitations as the LR3? What phones are known to work with the LR system?

Ask LR about which phones work. They have a list. And its very short. At least for the LR3. Mainly Nokias if I remember.

The RAZR works with the 2006 systems as a Bluetooth only phone.

Your Questions Answered
Q. What is PTI?
A. PTI stands for Personal Telephone Integration, a fully integrated hands-free mobile phone system for your car via a Bluetooth link or cradle in the centre console.
Q. What is Bluetooth?
A. Bluetooth is the name for a short-range radio frequency (RF) technology that operates at 2.4 GHz and is capable of transmitting voice and data wirelessly. The effective range of Bluetooth devices is 32 feet (10 meters) and Bluetooth transfers data of a rate of 1 Mbps.
A Bluetooth connection gives greater convenience but gives a reduced feature set over that available
when a phone is docked in the cradle.
Q. Why is the technology called Bluetooth?
A. Bluetooth brand is named after the Danish King Harold 'Bluetooth' Blaatand who unified Denmark and Norway. In the beginning of the Bluetooth wireless technology era, Bluetooth was aimed at unifying the telecom and computing industries.
Q. How does the Land Rover PTI / Bluetooth functionality compare to other manufacturer?s
solutions?
A. The level of integration with the vehicle controls and PTI / Bluetooth features including phonebook
transfer facility (Cradle only) is competitive with other vehicle manufacture's Handsfree options. The
cradle solution allows such features as SMS on the Range Rover.
Q. How does the functionality differ from the previous Land Rover in-car fixed phone?
A. The level of integration is similar. The advantage of the Land Rover PTI / Bluetooth system is the fact that the personal mobile phone works both in and out of the car without the need to transfer the SIM card
Q. What is different about the Land Rover after sales Bluetooth accessory functionality?
A. The accessory system does not allow use of the vehicle touch screen or key pad, but does give Voice System interaction. This is a stand alone accessory system.
Q. Can a Bluetooth phone be kept in the owner?s pocket or bag?
A. Yes it can be located anywhere in the cabin. Whilst it may function from the boot (trunk), Land Rover do not recommend this, as the signal may be weaker in this enclosed environment.
Q. How many Bluetooth phones can be paired to a car at any time?
A. Eight (8) phones can be paired to the Land Rover PTI / Bluetooth system at any one time. This is
known as the Bluetooth device list. This list is in order of last connected phone, with the last connected phone at the top.
Only one phone can be connected at any one time.
Q. Can I connect a phone in the cradle whilst connected via Bluetooth?
A. Yes. When a phone is connected to the cradle, the Bluetooth connection will disconnect. A cradle
phone has priority over a Bluetooth phone.
Q. Once the phone is paired, what do I have to do each time to make the phone work in the car?
A. Every time you come back to the car, it should automatically reconnect to the paired phone. However, this depends on the settings in the handset. Please check the pairing and connection guide for details. The vehicle will automatically search for the last connected Bluetooth phone when the ignition is switch on and no phone is attached to the cradle. If the last connected Bluetooth phone is in range (and set to accept connections), the vehicle and phone will connect.
If the last connected phone is not in range, the vehicle will search for the next phone on the device list.
Q. How many phone numbers can be accessed via the vehicle system?
A. This is limited only by the number of entries that the phone/SIM card can store. No phone book entries are stored in the vehicle when a phone is not attached to the cradle. Voice Nametags in the Voice System however, are stored in the vehicle and are limited to approximately 50 entries.

Application: Phase 1 - Range Rover 2005MY
PTI Phone Module: XVJ 500042��
Land Rover Personal Telephone Integration (PTI)
Range Rover 2005MY offers a fully integrated mobile phone system as a factory fit option. With this
system, the user can connect a Land Rover approved mobile phone handset to the vehicle and access many of the important functions via the touch-screen display, voice activation and steering wheel switches.
��NOTE: Phone module XVJ500042 is replaced in the spare parts system by more recent
variants built to the latest specification. If a module is replaced, phone compatibility will
graduate to the level of specification in the NEW MODULE. The latest specification
modules for Range Rover 2006MY, Range Rover Sport and LR3 are covered separately in
Attachment 3.
Ways to Connect
The Land Rover PTI allows two different methods of connection:
First, there is the cradle option. This allows the mobile phone handset to be physically connected to the vehicle. This method offers much greater functionality such as; Phonebook access, Dialled and Missed Call lists and SMS. The cradle also provides power and connection to the external aerial.
The Land Rover PTI is also Bluetooth enabled. This allows the user the freedom to leave their mobile
phone handset in a briefcase, or a pocket and still be able to make and receive calls.
Please consult the Range Rover owners' handbook for more details on the functionality available with the two different connection methods.
Which Handsets and Software Versions?
Whilst there are many mobile phone handsets available, Land Rover engineers have tested and
recommended the following handsets to meet our very high quality standards. Please note that not all Bluetooth enabled mobile phone handsets are compatible with the Land Rover PTI. This is due to the wide range of uses for Bluetooth in the latest high technology. This list will be updated as more handsets are tested and as new handsets are released.

Ask LR about which phones work. They have a list. And its very short. At least for the LR3. Mainly Nokias if I remember.

Nokia developed the system with LR, so that's why it's biased toward Nokia phones. Also, only NON-flip phones will work in a cradle. So, ask yourself, other than Nokia, are there really that many phones that don't flip?

I have the Sony T610 in my 05 RR (phase 1).

Hi,

Just a little anecdotal info on the BlackBerry and the dealer-installed kit for the RR.

One of the fellows in our club works at the dealer in Waterloo Ontario, the home of Research In Motion, who make the BlackBerry. Apparently, one of the co-CEOs has a Range Rover and had the dealer install the BlueTooth kit. The results were peculiar.

They tested to make sure that it worked with the BB using one of the dealer's BBs. It seemed to work fine. When the customer came to pick-up the truck the BT didn't work with his BB. Being the CEO, he ordered up one of the product engineers from their office and he showed up with a briefcase full of devices of every conceivable combination of model, firmware, and hardware including prototype units not yet in the market.

What they discovered was that the functionality with the BlackBerry was completely wacky. Some model would work fine, others would not. Not only that, one device with the same model and firmware would work, where as the other would not. At that time, they were unable to nail down model and firmware versions that worked on 100% of devices.

This situation may have been resolved, but Alyssa has said that that may not be the case.

Cheers
Victor

It certainly isn't resolved yet, and I've yet to have a blackberry work with LR bluetooth. Everyone has them (or Treos) and while they recognize each other exists (most of the time), they won't connect. I've had one Treo connect, but it wouldn't accept calls & froze the system. When we tried to disconnect & reconnect, it wouldn't reconnect again. BMW is the same way, btw. It isn't just a LR thing. Land Rover won't certify a phone unless they're sure it will work in every car, with every phone of the same model & software. If you can get your blackberry to work, more power to you. There's nothing wrong with a non-certified phone that works... My best advice is always to just go to the phone dealer with your LR, have the phone people let you bring the phone out to the car and see that it works. If it doesn't, don't get it. Try another phone.

Alyssa,

Do you know if the dealer installed kit is BlueTooth 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, or 2.0? Apparently the more recent implementations have less compatibility problems. Nokia seems to be fond of not complying with standards. Some misguided notion of promoting their products by excluding competitors. Didn't work well for IBM or Apple, I don't know why they think it would for them.

I really don't advise customers to install the dealer kit, so I don't know too much of the specifics about it. It's standard on Range Rovers, and an option on the LR3 and RRSport, and MUCH cheaper than the dealer kit.

I have the factory Blue Tooth in my 2006 LR3 HSE I use it with a Motorola Razor... It has its good points... The speaker works great and people do not have trouble hearing me... I can answere and hang up the phone with the stearing wheel buttons... But it has its glitches also... Some times even when I end a call it stays in phone mode and I can not get back to the radio with out disconecting and than reconecting... Also the phone book in the phone does not come up on the screen... It uses the radio screen and not the navi screen... Personally I think the radio phone and navigation should be in the navi screen like my wife's 2006 BMW 550i... Now that is a nice system..

They are integrated on the Range Rover. Since most LR3's don't have NAV, they put the phone in the radio. If you got a cradle phone, your phone's answering book would come up.

Thanks Alyssa Your A Land Rover Genious. I have another question for you... Sometimes when I drive my 06 LR3 around town for no reason (or a reason I dont Know) it dings once. I dont have the navigation set at the time. Any thoughts? Also if I have blue tooth do i already have the phone cradle or is that something I would have to buy?

If you have factory bluetooth, you have the wiring for the phone in your center console. The cradle isn't provided, because there are different cradles for different phones. Your dealer can give you a list of approved phones, and order the correct cradle for you. A cradle is usually in the $100-$150 range. Most (if not all) cradle phones are Nokia. The nice thing is the cradle also charges your phone, and most importantly, uses the vehicle's antenna to greatly improve your signal. In the Range Rover, the cradle also allows you to text message, see missed calls, signal strength, call length, call history, etc...
The cradle phones are also bluetooth, so you can still take your phone with you & leave it in your pocket & have the same feature level you have now.
If you don't want to go the cradle phone route, you can manually add phone numbers and voice tags for those numbers in the LR3. This is easiest to do through the Settings section on your NAV. It's under "voice add name." Type in the phone number, then follow the voice prompts. Then, to dial, you say, "Phone, dial name." LR3: "Name Please." You: "Yacht club." LR3: " Yacht Club? Yes or No" You: "Yes." LR3: "Dialing"

Random dinging can happen for a couple of reasons. Sometimes it will ding when you are in access mode and you go really fast before it's had a chance to go to normal drive height (even though you didn't lock it). You might have also accidentally set your speed alarm, which will ding once when you reach a certain pre-set speed. I believe it also dings when your fuel light comes on. Those would be the most common reasons I could think of, but I'm sure there are others.

Thanks for all the great info. I will check if I put in a speed alarm. I know its not the accesses or the fuel.

Do you know if there is a cradle for the Motorola Razor?


Thanks Again.
