United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 Autobiography Santorini Black
Iphone 3

Hi all it would be great if someone could help me with this problem. I have had my 2012 autobiography two weeks now and today took it to my local dealer for a couple of updates and while i was there i asked them if they would download my phone book from my iphone 3 to the car and they kindly agreed. They took some time but were unable to and concluded that my Iphone was not compatible ? Next week i am getting an Iphone 4s and they said they cant guarantee that will work either . Is this correct guys? Sad

I had an Iphone 4s connected to my13 RSS and it worked perfectly.
Not sure if any difference from MY12 and MY13 with the phone system.
I sure someone with more knowledge than me would be able to confirm. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

Hi I have an I Phone 4S, which I use through the phone system of the RRS 62 plate. No problems but you have to link the phone to the car not the car to the phone.

My phone is connected to the car ok but they can't download the contacts list so when someone rings I only see the number and not the contacts name. Plus I am not able to search for a contact .

Had no issues connecting my Iphone 4, once paired over bluetooth and the code entered ( 2121 ) the phone should dock and automatically download your phone book.
I would consider deleting all phones previously paired to the system and start afresh following the procedure in the manual 2010 RRS, TDV8

Its a typical answer from a dealer when they are stumped to blame the phone. It should work ok and download your phone book with no problems..

Hi just a bit confused. Why do you have to go to a dealer to link the phone with the car. It is a relatively easy task. I am no mechanical/ electrical expert, but just followed the instructions in the manual and job done.

when I bought the car that dealer connected the phone for me just to save time while I transferred my gear from my old car. once I got home (275 miles later) I realised it had not downloaded my phone book . So the following day I registered the car with my local dealer and they offered to do it for me but failed. So I was thinking if they can't do it I don't stand much chance. I will try again on Tuesday when I inherit an iPhone 4 ...........

When you did it, suggest you link the telephone with the car not the car with the telephone. I found on my 62 RRS that it only worked that way around.

Thanks for the advice Midsman but I had done exactly as you said but no phone book download . Tonight my accountant popped in to see my new RRS and in 30 seconds had the phonebook downloaded RESULT !!!! The problem was that in the phone book menu the auto download was turned off . This is amazing that it took an accountant 30 seconds but the main dealer could not do it at all ! Rolling Eyes
