2011 LR4 Voice Controls

[guss]

Has anyone else been able to get the voice activation restored by LR service recently?

I'm a new 2011 LR4 owner (Lux, Santorini Black/Almond, 20" wheels). Just picked-up last Friday and I love it so far, however disappointed to find the voice activated bluetooth disabled. The owner quick reference guide still refers to the voice activation as does the Land Rover website info about phone blue tooth connectivity. I probably won't use the navigation much, but I really want it for the phone. I had the same setup on my 2008 Grand Cherokee via UConnect... it was a bit clunky and sensitive to having to speak at the right time, but very useful for making phone calls.

My dealer service is checking with Land Rover USA. I was just wondering if anyone else has had success getting their dealer to complete the software update to restore. If I need to contact Land Rover USA, do I just use the contact info in the owner manuals, or does anyone have a contact they spoke with that worked with their dealer?

Thanks for any new info and looking forward to being a Land Rover owner for many years. Cheers!

They have a software patch fix.tell your dealer

I've never had nav or bluetooth in my old car, but I really do see myself using it especially for the phone. I use the voice feature on my iPhone all the time and it works great.

jcinfburg - does your 2011 LR4 have the voice activation feature? So far it seems like mine is the only one that doesn't have it.

It does,Get Sort ware Patch immediately from land rover usa/

Sortware Patch

I went back to the dealership after work to inquire about the lack of voice activation on my LR4 (even though it's all explained in my manual). The sales guy there explained to me that they had received a bulletin some time in mid-August from Land Rover saying that this feature is no longer available on any of their vehicles (including the Range Rovers).

Can you believe this???? I am pretty ****** about this.

The sales guy was really nice though, saying he thinks *maybe* they can add it back on somehow. I'll keep y'all posted on what happens.

They have a software patch that I just had installed on my 2011 LR4.Works great.Was ready to sue them for falso information in there manual.Had it on my 05 LR3.Now they hide it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to try to have my service department activate this on my truck. Is there anything they need to know about how to do this? I have this feeling that they're not going to be very knowledgeable/helpful on this, I want to know as much as I can about it going in.

Thanks.

Mine just installed.works great,voice regonition.Land rover should be better than this

Soft Ware Patch 2011 Lr4

Land Rover is trying to figure out how to add it back to my car. I still have my printout of my order, and it has a line item under Standard and Included Features - (025EZ) Voice Input/Recognition System. Based on that, there is no excuse for them not to include it in my car. A customer service rep from Land Rover called me on Monday and said they are currently testing a fix to add it back. I still don't have a time line from them as to exactly when they will be able to add it back to my car.

I was told that due to poor ratings on this feature by Land Rover owners on their JD Powers Associates survey, Land Rover decided to remove the feature completely.

Its fixed.I just had it instaleed.Works great voice regonition on my 2011 LR4.AT DEALER,SOFTWARE PATCH
