iPhone 6 and the D3/4 - report please

No bluetooth in my D3 :-(( The one option I should have gotten but decided at last moment not to, mainly due to ex wife nagging about costs.

Don't suppose there is a good option to fit blue tooth integration is there? I have the premium Sat Nav system fitted.

iOS 8.1 has fixed bluetooth issues in the Boss' Lexus 450 Hybrid.

Wonder if 8.1 will improve my interaction with my parrot thingo which has been flaky since ios6 .... !

Going on how much better my Parrot minikit works yes!!!

Good grief. Is this a Land Rover forum or a my phone's better than your iPhone forum?

I have what I think is a genuine compatibility question that someone might be able to confirm. When my iPhone (6 Plus, but I reckon the issue will be the same with any iPhone) is plugged into either the "USB" or "iPod" USB connectors in the centre console, it flip flops between IPod and Bluetooth for music streaming.

Streaming works fine with just Bluetooth but, and here comes the geek but, the voice activation on the vehicle unit is next to useless and "hey Siri" only works when the phone is plugged into power.

It's in an MY12 SDV6, so it's the newer system.

Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

Thanks...

Sorry cant help as i only use bluetooth streaming and i never use the usb side of it, also i never use siri nor voice in the car because its just to painful haha!!

Can't help either. I use an iPod classic that stays in the car for music. I plug the phone into the usb port for charging the phone only. I cannot swap between both for music unless I use Bluetooth on the phone, but I never do.

Siri is not super reliable in hands free mode we argue a lot. Dictating text messages takes so long and gets me so agitated I wonder if it's any safer than typing. It is pretty good for reading messages though and that does help.
