liking the jcb phone, nokia did a similar one but I broke that in 3days the screen in the outer shell was too flexible so when I squashed it against something at work the screen pressed against the lcd panel and caused a huge permanent blue spot.
Can somebody get a jcb phone and see if it will pair with the fl2? thanks in advance

Samsung phones seem to be okay pairing with the BT PTI in the FL2

Ive gone for a nokia 6300 in the end, Two actually one for Mrs George too, Mine will live in a rubber skin to protect it and so Mrs George doesn't pick it up by accident as our phones will be twins. Also a third I also got free as an upgrade on my mothers phone so that will be my spare if I can resist the temptation to sell it on ebay.

Please keep us informed as to how well it pairs to the car.

I've just bought a Nokia 6300 to use with the PTI - works absolutely perfectly. Had a Nokia 8800 before that which worked OK but you didn't always get a ringing tone when dialling out. Tried various other Nokia phones with PTI; many phones worked OK but required you to 'manually' connect the phone to PTI system by selecting 'YES' on phone when it queried whether you wanted to connect to car. The 6300 just latches straight onto PTI without leaving your pocket, as did my 8800 but the battery life on it was dire hence its demise.

I got the nokia 6300 and it pairs up with no problems downloads the phone book as well 07my Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Baltic Blue,Privacy Glass,Ebony black leather,Land rover detachable towbar,S/S Side bars,Climair wind deflectors,Bramble Rash,

Received my phone upgrade the other day

A LG Viewty, works with the PTi but does NOT transfer the phonebook, or call list for last called or received.

but i'm sending it back as it feels like it will not last 12 months never mind the 18 months mobile contracts are nowadays.

Anyone have any experience with a Nokia 6500 classic?

I had a Nokia 6300 which worked fantastically but was gobbled up by the overhead locker of a 737 & will never be seen again. I'd like a different phone but if I can't work out if the 6500 works before I buy one I guess I'll go for the 6300 again.

I will have a new boxed 6300 for sale in a couple of days message me if you want chance to buy it before it goes on ebay. Im with O2 and the phones they send out are usually unlocked for T-mobile aswell, dont know about vod or orange

iphone,

I have just traded my trusty D3 for a nice shiny black FL2 Td4 XS, the D3 was the base model so no phone integration. I have an iphone and the dealer said you got no chance of that pairing but after a bit of fiddling it works with no problems at all.

Really pleased with the freelander.

When we swap drivers of the fl2 the green screen always asks which phone to connect to, mine or Mrs G's. Should it not pair automatically to which ever phone is in bluetooth range? If mine was the last phone paired and I jump in and drive off no probs, but if Mrs George drives it next the car wants to know which phone to pair even though my phone is nowhere near.
What is the normal range for bluetooth connection, a few feet I would have thought?

I think the range is 10meters, but its also dependent on the phone spec, also PTI looks for the last phone, so if you swap a lot it might explain why it appears to always ask which phone

Chris.

I think it asks each time which phone you want to pair with even if they're not in range. My wife's phone isn't even on the LR list but paired and synched the phone book no problem. She's got some old Panasonic job which is years old. 08 Santorini Black HSE manual with DAB and privacy glass
