My replacement Disco 2009 software/hardware could not work properly with new phones. Fix located via flash upgrade to the cars hardware needed sending to a helpful chap in the UK! OR thinking outside the box at what the issue is for a simple fix
Issue is most of our phone address books in 2005-10ish had 3 fields [B]First Name- Surname and Phone number. My current cheap android phone had First Name- Surname, nickname, Group (family, work...........), Mobile, Home, Work, fax Phone numbers, Email, IM...........
Connecting it to the car which tried and failed to import the phones phone book then saw the car connection stuff up Dumbing down down the phone book seemed smarter to me. Its software on a computer. Our mobile phones are sort of computers really. No hardware removal!
[B]Bluetooth Phonebook by android-rsap.com (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=android-rsap.com)
It cost me less than $3 from Google play and everything now works
Only minor issue was the car could not accept all the contacts in my phone.
Phone is now working perfectly with my Discos Bluetooth. No guarantee it works with all phone types. I am culling my phone book to key people then redoing it. It all works at present but some non key details are in the car and some VIPs are not yet.
Landrover software limitation could have been easily fixed by Landrover I would add. I appreaciate they have upgarade hopes. I have a long life for me and my disco as a priorty not buying a new car to fix a minor doftware or hardware issue. [biggrin]
