Yeah we do valet service for our customers too if they call with enough heads up notice to arrange for a driver or sometimes I will do it myself if I have a slow day.
 
We are lucky enough to have a dodge store in our auto group so we also have a dedicated two vehicle and trailer that we normaly use for vehicle swaps between dealers. In a couple of emergancy situations when a car was off the road and Land Rover Raodside assistance could not get to the customer fast enough we have used our truck/trailer combo to retrive the vehicle.

New RR HSE...do Nokia BlueTooth phones work... by rover_usa
Apr 17, 2006 (12:01 pm)

When I took delivery of the RR HSE last Friday night one tidbit that the sales guy mentioned in passing was that the Nokia BlueTooth phone (whichever model was specifically manufactured for the RR cradle) was no longer being manufactured and no longer available.
 
That sounded fishy to me.
 
So, I just checked the LandRover site and they list the Nokia 6225 and 6200 with my carrier (Sprint) as being cradle-able in the RR cradle and compatible with the PTI system in the RR.
 
Can anyone respond with direct knowledge of the Nokia BlueTooth phones and RangeRovers?

Nokia designed the cradle system for the Land Rover but since cell phone design moves so much faster then vehicle design I think all of the phones that the cradle system works with are now obsolete.
 
If you can still find those model phone some where then it should work fine but it will be hard to find a model that is so old.
 
If you just want to hook up the phone wirlessly with bluetooth you are set but if you want to cradle a phone then you are going to probably be out of luck.

Hi British_rover,
Thanks for clarifying that.
 
On another topic, where do you point the RSE remote to make it work the RSE DVD player if you are in the back seat?

You should just point it towards one of the screens to make it work but make sure you have the little selector on the back in the right place.
 
If you are pointing at the right or passenger side screen then you need to have the slider on the back of the remote pushed to the right side.

Where is the phone cradle located on the RRS? I don't see one in my car. I have the bluetooth option. Is the cradle a seperate option?

There is no cradle just the mount for a cradle to be attached. The mount and little plug is on the under side of the center cubby box lid.

Jaguar LandRover West Columbia, MD by twigglesworth

I purchased a vehicle from the dealership above and have had nothing but horrible experiences with the finance department and their personnel at the dealership. The detailing was awful and learned two weeks before our first payment was due, their finance team failed to fill out the paperwork correctly. I'm now in the midst of working with our bank to try and correct their mistakes. I contacted LandRover of North America to file a complaint and the first statement made is we do have dealerships that are privately owned and can take your complaint on file. Has anyone had similar issues and if so, how can I make sure proper action is taken? I no longer want anything to do with this dealership and would like the loaner program upheld with another dealership. I no longer have any faith in the West Columbia dealer. Since they hold the LandRover name, I find corporate's response unacceptable.
 
You can probably guess would not recommend this dealership to anyone!

There are a lot of Rover dealers down in that part of the country.
 
I am not sure if someone owns all of those dealers or if they are owned by different companies. Find the next closest dealer that is not owned by the same person as the dealer you had the problems with.
 
Call them and ask for the Centre manager. Explain your situation that you had serious problems with where you bought your Rover and would like to have it serviced with them instead. Be polite and just explain the situation. Let them know that you have no problem with the vehicle or Land Rover in general but just that particular dealer.
 
A smart centre manager will make sure you are treated with respect and that you get access to loaner cars like anyone else. Keep in mind that for the most part the loaner cars are a first come first serve basis and most Land Rover Dealers do not have enough of them.

RangeRover door lock behavior by rover_usa
May 31, 2006 (6:57 am)
Reply
I have a 2006 RR HSE and have recently asked the dealership to configure the vehicle so that the doorlocks engage when the vehicle reaches a certain speed when driving and single-entry access when the remote is used (one click unlocks the drivers door only, two clicks unlocks the other doors).
 
This is the default behavior on a Disco (we also have a 2003 Disco).
 
However, I cannot find anything in the manual for RR that indicates that driver key removeal or engine-off can trigger door unlock. This is another default behavior on the Disco.
 
Is this something that the RR can be configured to do?
 
Richard
