Anybody out there having compatibility issues between the LR4's Bluetooth and the iPhone 3GS? The problem manifests itself as follows: LR4 and iPhone are linked. Incoming phone call is picked up by the LR4's Bluetooth and I hear ringing through the car's audio system. I use the car to answer the call. At that point, the iPhone and the LR4/Bluetooth disconnect (Note: the call is not dropped) and I have to pick up the iPhone and take the call from the iPhone. Land Rover's website seems to indicate that no firmware revisions have been tested with the 3GS.

I only have 600 miles on my LR4, but it seems to be working well with my iPhone 3S. I can place and receive calls, although while I see the "directory" on the screen and can choose from it, the voice control says the directory is empty. Since I am so new to the car, this may be user error :rolleyes:

Also note I am getting a buzzing when I plug the iPod into the Aux connector in between the back seats. Not a huge problem, but I would like to get it resolved. I have not contacted the dealer yet.

The same thing happens, occasionally, with my 2G iPhone via BlueTooth in the LR4. A call rings through the cars audio, then when I answer, it kicks the call over to the phone which I then have to pick up. I am not sure this is not an iPhone issue though, a similar thing happened when I previously had it paired to a Garmin GPS unit via BT.

I have the same problem with my 3GS iPhone and the LR4. Usually when I answer the call the LR4 system handles it, but occasionally I'll have to answer it on the iPhone itself. It's a little frustrating.

My experience with a 3GS is that it always works when dialing out, but when answering calls, it works about 75% of the time.

The other 25%, the audio reverts back to the iPhone. All you have to do is click Audio Source on the iphone, as switch from "iPhone" to "LAND ROVER"

I have a 3g iphone. I have the same problem with incoming calls bouncing to the iphone and not on bluetooth. Land Rover needs to come out with a fix for this.
