Still no owners manual and I cant figure out how to set up my cell phone into the wireless phone on the Rover. Can it be done on a 2006 and how do you do it. Thank again.

if your phone has bluetooth you should be able to connect

with the key on search for new devices on your phone, you will find a new connection named LANDROVER, select it and put in the pass code (2121) then you should be connected.

i drive an 06 Range Rover and im connected, i just dont know if all 06 models come with bluetooth capabilities

I have a 2006 and I have had success with both of our blackberries using bluetooth. The only issue is with our vin # range, the module in the car was not setup for phone book transfer.

there is an update from the dealer that cost an hour labor and they say it will allow the phone book from the newer phones (i have a touch diamond)...i dont think it will work for mine since its windows based

Getting the update is the case in most, however after dealing with LR of N America and my dealer over a 3 week period. This was not the case in mine. There was a limited range of the 2006 that have a different module in the car that can not receive the update. In order for that to happen to I would have to have the new module installed. Trust me I was very upset after going through all of that and thinking that it was only going to take the 1 hour update. They even showed me the printouts from their several attempts.

FYI, if the car is still under warranty, you are within the specified VIN range and the PTI module won't upgrade successfully, some dealers have swapped modules with new ones, charging only the hour of labor to the customer (as per TSB.) LRNA could probably pick up the tab if you insisted, the TSB clearly states that VINs 6A342881 through 8A475081 can be upgraded with the Phonebook over Bluetooth feature and if the software patch won't take for whatever reason your module should be considered defective and replaced under warranty.
