Excellent Rob, how are yours

Baz.

Went for a drive today in my MY14.

Ran into some dirt road with a few corrugations not bad ones. The wife remarked how NOT noisy it was, although I detected a funny metal type rattle coming from the dash area on the drivers side. Have to look out for it later.

I also got my first chip. On the door. It is a tight fit in the garage as I have some equipment set up and my lovely wife opened the door on to it. A chip right on the door edge.

I am not sure but isn't this a shooting offense when done to your 3 day old new Discovery

This car is a pleasure to drive.

The Meridian sound system supplied is very good.

I tried the OFFROAD option on the SATNAV. Did not look much different from the ONROAD version but may be where I was driving. The stuff I have on my IPAD is better than what I have seen so far but this is more convenient.

I have paired both mine and my wifes phones to the what ever it s called. It took a couple of goes but we got there. (I may delete hers after what she did to my car!!).

Only one can be active at a time for playing music or phoning.

I also tried out the voice recognition to make a phone call by
- Pressing the voice button
- Issuing the command 'phone call contact'. Note there are other command you can issue.
I was then prompted for the name which took a bit of doing.
As there were a few hits I then had select the one from a list (via saying a number)
I can't comment on the quality as I called my wife who was sitting next to me.

I believe you an improve this by doing some voice training. I will look into that later.

MY14 Discovery 4, 7 seater TDV6.

I wanted to buy one from Austral there price for a demo one was $2k more than Townsville and the one in Townsville had diff lock and elec steering column the answer I got from Austral was basically we sell so many cars a month and it will probably sell next week for nearly full retail so don't really mind not selling haha

So you can't have your iPhone connected for calls, and another hooked in for music ? You can on MY12.
I have it setup iPhone under phone, and iPad under music. Music mutes when call comes in, and when the tomtom app gives directions.
Factory NAV is ordinary compared to after market with tomtom and hema.

Brett,
Not sure about that.
Are you connecting both of these through Bluetooth. My comment was based on two bluetooth connect devices.

I suspect you could have one bluetooth (phone) and one USB (IPAD) connection running together.

What I found was after pairing my wifes phone we had to hit a Change Device (i think it was called - I was driving and she was doing it) to change to her phone so we could play music off her phone.

May be we did something wrong. Let me know if you have two a active bluetooth connections and I will have another go.

Richard

Hi Richard,

Both are through Bluetooth.

Connect phone, then go into music, my music, then select change device...select iPad or iPhone that you wish to connect, then both connected.

But only one for phone, and one for music.

Setting will remain the same from that point onwards.

Another June due date here, and since it's killing me too, I've (badly) 'shopped what I've spec'd up - and stuck up in the shed. Doing a semi black pack thing on a Corris HSE, with most of the options list ticked.
