| Iphone incoming calls not on car speakers. |
|
Ive started a new thread to save people reading the long old one, i wonder if people with the same problems can post there Iphone software and build versions so we can compare.
Smarticus wrote:We have an Iphone 3G and often have no volume of incoming calls. Very annoying / weird and unhelpful so would welcome a "fix".
I have had the same problem in the few days ive had my car, the outgoing calls are perfect.
But the incoming calls are sent to the phone speakers and not the car speakers even when answerd by the cars buttons on wheel or navscreen.
I answerd the phone by the phone and it came out of the speakers of the car lol, its like back to front.
Its tipical when i thought of getting a D4 i looked on the LR site and my phones software was suported, it not seems that software from 3.1 onwards has a bluetooth problem with incoming caller id and im wondering if this has a knock on effect on the sound when answering it.
my phone has software version 3.1.2 and a build version 7D11
I there any way we can revert our Iphones back to software version 3 which seems tobe fully supported ?

i do seem to remembr seeing a bulletin recently from LR saying that iphones are now to be listed as not compatible with LR products
Not LR, it's Apple who keep changing the systems and i beleive it's the same on other marks of car also
i'll go and have a look and see if i can find the bulletin TLO has left the building.......

We have been notified by our Engineers that the iPhone 3GS is not Bluetooth
compatible with any major car manufacturer's systems. Our website has been
indicating this as a none recommended phone since 10MY.
Mercedes, BMW, Bentley, Lexus and Ford are Brands who also do not approve the 3GS phone.
The problem is around Bluetooth, as it is not an internationally defined protocol, and is therefore a
very loose specification. This is the reason why some phones and some software on some phones
works and some don't.
Until the telecommunications industry come up with a replacement for Bluetooth with a defined
International standard, the car companies will have to continue to test and approve or not approve
every new phone and its software.
We also need to be sensitive to software upgrades being made to none 3GS iPhones as this may
also provide issues with compatibility. Our website states that the only version of software which a
none 3GS iPhone will work is 7A341. This remains the current status. People with different versions
to this will experience problems
There is interestingly an Apple users chat line which has comments from a huge number of car
owners from all car Brands which indicates the nature of the problems being experienced.
If we get any further updates we will notify you of this, but in the meantime we have to tell customers
that their 3GS iPhone will not work consistently in any car. TLO has left the building.......

I had same problem - with V3.0.1...
Outgoing calls are fine, but inbound calls, answered from the touchscreen or from the steering wheel buttons sometimes stay in the phone rather than being handed off to the car.

My phone seems it does not want to restore back to 7A341 V3  it keeps failing.
Ive got it going again with the latest version firmware im going to try going back a version at a time to see if it helps or go back even further to 2.2 odd and then upgrade to 3.
Thanks for the info Wiggs, i didnt even know that "Shift & Restore" was there in the Itunes software.
Ill keep playing and post my results.
I wonder if its possibile to restore my BT module to the D3/RRS software, the phone was ok in my RRS on the older type BT module software.
It would make sence for landrover to make a update on SSD which was actually a downgrade to the BT software to revert the modules back to 2009 spec which worked fine.

That im not sure about Pom, im off out soon to visit the outlaws so ill give it a test with the cable connected.
Ive tryed every version of Iphone software with Itunes and the only one that will completely load to my phone is the latest version
All the others get about half way into the process and fail as if it were not ment to be on there, may be there is something in the latest version that updates the phone but then stops the firmware being changed back to a older version.

It is not 100% possible to downgrade iphone software versions as some will upgrade RoM that you cannot downgrade.
As the 3gs sucks power like my disco sucks fuel when I enable Bluetooth and location services it would HAVE to be in a cradle anyway. A lr cradle would be better so can use full audio integration and steering wheel controls etc
In my van I use a belkin cradle that has a built in fm transmitter. Works great.

Ill give it a go Wiggs thanks.
I did plug the cable in on the outing today and got the wife to call me and it answerd how it should 
The only problem with that is it has to be either in the cubby box lid or hanging out on the cable and id prefet to have it in my pocket so when i get out of the car i dont forget it lol.
As said a nice docking station would be better than the cable that does not fit in the lid of the cubby box very well when attached to the phone.

F**k me wiggs, you know some handy web sites
My phone is now back on version 3 Yipee, i had a few twitchy moments when i re connected to Itunes because it told me i could not use my older backup because the software on my phone was old and out of date.
So i clicked the new phone option and it kept all my contacts and apps etc etc.
Thanks again m8, ill finish updating the apps and stuff and give it a try on the car.
Pete
PS the iRecovery link was down so i found elsewhere on the net, if my phone works as it should ill upload the phones software and iRevocery on my server and make a link to the forum lads to share it.
