#5 of 6 Re: New Nav DVD - how to install it? [dandrews1] by dandrews1 Mar 12, 2007 (11:50 am)
Replying to: dandrews1 (Mar 12, 2007 10:21 am) Ok, nevermind... called Land Rover customer support. THEY told me to check under the passenger seat (??!!) so I looked, and of course, it's just the power amplifier!   So I go back to the driver's side with the guy on the phone - he says It should be right there - and it is, it's just that it's the back of the thing that is facing me, not the front (just in case he still wasn't sure, I quoted him the partnumber off the top of the DVD drive - also the brandname "Denso" should have given it away!)   In any case, he says he doesn't know, and tells me to go to the nearest dealership.   Ok, let's put your thinking cap on I said (after hanging up). I can SORT of blindly reach over the top of the thing and reach the front and feel the lock latch and the eject button..   So I unlock it and hit the eject button... and out comes the DVD disc which gets shot into a wiring harness for the power seats... Sigh. So I fish around and manage to pick it up without scratching it too much.   Ok, so now I know where it comes out - right near the top. So I get a screwdriver and reach around the front and push the wiring harness down and out of the way - go back to the back seat, fish out my new DVD nav disc, and have to hold it by the tips of my fingers and with both hands to maneuver it into position without scratching it, and trying not to get it snagged on any wires, stray pieces of metal, and various other bits under there that would spell bad news for an optical disc. OK, managed to get it in and locked the tray door.   Back to the front, put the seats back (love those memory seats!) where the Nav screen shows "Loading System Software" for about 2 minutes... ok, so I wait a bit, then get presented with the same old screen I always got (was kind of hoping for the newer slick-looking interface from the LR2) so ok, no big deal, it must have those streets around my house fixed, and those that are completely missing put right? Right?   Nope.   Paid $200.00, and got basically the same sets of maps which are 5 years out of date in my area. So what did I get for my 200 bucks? 2300 new bookstores, coffeeshops and theatres in the POI database - which I'm sure through some corporate deal they are making money off of it...   How about me? You remember me? The consumer? The one who was after ACCURATE MAPS?   Sigh.   I guess by now I should know better.   /DA
#6 of 6 BlueTooth by robsmith1 Apr 12, 2007 (6:54 pm)
When my phone rings the caller ID on the BlueTooth displays the number received 2 calls ago and not the most recent call, any idea how to adjust so that the incoming caller ID is displayed?
