Thread: My 13 Defender Alpine Unit Bluetooth

Hi Tony

You can pair multiple devices up but I don't think that it is possible to have 2 audio devices simultaneously connected.

I just tried out what you proposed with my iPhone and daughters iPod touch on the Sony bluetooth stereo in the caravan, with no luck. Both are paired but the stereo will only allow one at a time to communicate.

Alpine may be a bit more flexible, check the instruction book

Cheers

Thanks for taking the time to try that.The manual is silent on the issue.
I will wait until my kids get back from their easter trip and try using one of their iPods.Its no big deal I was trying to avoid iPod cables hanging out of the unit.
Cheers

I've got a pioneer head unit and it's not possible afaik. I play music through usb from my ipod and use the bluetooth from my phone which works well, the audio from the cabin noise on the defender keeps the phone calls short though.

It was no trouble at all Tony. Being Easter I was sitting in the van having a morning coffee waiting for offspring to awake

Steve

can you cable connect your ipod through aux or and usb cable?

Yes I can connect the ipod to either and it works ok.I was just trying to avoid having the cable dangling down around the gear shift. A bit of cable mgt required I guess.
For those of you with the my 13 Alpine head unit I suggest you download the manual from the Alpine site. It is more comprehensive then that included in the Land Rover manual.
Cheers,
Tony
