Thread: Sim Card for L322 Phone system

Does the LR SIM look like a standard SIM?

If so, try putting the SIM card from your phone into the RR. I'd expect it to fit and work (assuming your phone doesn't use a MicroSIM).

My L322 isn't fitted with the factory phone. Is a retrofit of an original unit available and possible??

Have seen many original R.R. phone cradles on Ebay. Not sure how easy to interface. Hope this is of some help HUE166

So what would your phone answering message be? "sorry I can't take your call, I'm home at the moment, call you next time I'm out."

Not to drag this thread down the rabbit hole, but does anyone know how to allow my phone to automatically connect with the bluetooth? At present I have to enter a code every time I get in the car, which only solicits a response half the time...?

Hi Rim,

I don't have the factory Bluetooth in my MY03 L322 but an aftermarket kit. If it's anything like all of the previous Bluetooth handsfree systems I've worked with they all automatically poll for devices whenever they are powered on.

Have a hunt in the Bluetooth settings of your phone. There is usually a setting in there that allows you to connect automatically to the car whenever it's in range. This setting is unique to each Bluetooth device defined to your phone. If this is set to auto then the only other setting that comes to mind is whether you have your phone set to discoverable, or not, in Bluetooth. If your phone isn't set as discoverable then your phone will be the one initiating the dialogue (because most car kits are set to discoverable) and that might be where your problem lies.

If your phone is set to discoverable by Bluetooth then I'm out of options as your kit doesn't behave like any of the many kits I've had to link with in the past.

What should normally happen once the handshaking has been completed successfully the first time, and the settings on your phone are correct, is that it should connect cleanly every time they come back into range of each other. It isn't an exact science as very occasionally mine does not re-connect if the car kit is still active when I go out of and back into range (such is going back inside the house for something I forgot). It's software driven and that's prone to moodiness .

It's a little hard to be any more specific as every phone manufacturer has a very different approach to how they have their menus set up. Your phone manual may help with this as well since they usually have a section on connecting to handsfree on Bluetooth.

Have a look at your settings and see what you have. Good luck.

Cheers,
Iain

Iain,

Thanks for the quick reply. It could well be the phone, although it works fine in my other car (not a LR/RR); no pin no's required. I'll have a play with the discovery settings tonight and see if I can get it working tomorrow..

Fingers crossed

Hi again Rim,

The other car thing could also be a clue. Do you have two devices defined to your phone so it can tell the difference between car kits?

If not, it is probably remembering the settings for your "normal" car and getting upset when it finds the "other" car. Every device has a unique address, just like the internet, so that may be a part of it.

There is no guarantee of course, but it may be another dark tunnel to burrow down.

Cheers,
Iain
