I asked the same question on here a while back.

Short answer no or no-one knows. It was also suggested that the PTI system, made by Nokia is the same as those fitted to BMW or Jaguar. Therefore, there may be other options made for those cars that fit ours....???

I asked www.dashmount.co.uk if they could help, yesterday, but no answer yet.
Will post here if they do. 2022 P440e AB

Phone LR customer services and ask them - they have someone from Nokia at the factory working full time for them. However the cradles have to be EU TUV etc etc .... type approved , so its not that simple.

Bluetooth works great - plus you can voice dial either using the cars voice system or by using the phones !!

I cant believe that Land Rover would have such a poor selection of cradles, I know that new phones are coming out all the time, but surely they would have thought about making cradles for some of the more popular newer phones??? ie N73 , 6300 , etc

Try telling them that


But there must be a reason why they can't bring them out at the same time as new phones come out! RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I usually use a Motorola V3i (RAZR) which like the Nokia 6300 can only accessed through a USB port as there are no external connections for either charging or downloading on the phone. The RRS works either on a hardwire or Bluetooth system.......the later being the only way to get the majority of phone to work in the car, unfortunately.

I suppose you could argue that it gets it out of the way and at least charges it, but you can’t even do that with the majority of phones as they require plugs and don’t have flush connectors.

The Nokia 6300, is an excellent phone, it works well with B/T unlike the V3i which has an address book issue if you use the SIM to store numbers, but is easily worked around.

So, I suppose in a round about way, what I am saying is that most of the new phones being launched don’t have surface contacts that will work with a cradle. Watch out for a USB interface, that would be useful! 'Shocked' .

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.


TDV8 HSE MY10 with pretty much everything including a vase of daffs on the back shelf, tropical fish collection in the centre console, hamsters in the spare tyre and finally sheep on the passenger seats.....for weight distribution, what else??
