Our Range Rover Bluetooth retrofit kit was
designed specific to the Rover and based on the latest BMW X5 Bluetooth
system.
This Range Rover Bluetooth kit has the proper wiring
configuration specific to the
Rover and works perfectly in the
2003-2004 US Range Rovers and 2002-2004 Euro Range Rovers (as
they were designed by BMW and based
on the BMW X5 navigation computer system.) The photos on
this
page show the system in Bluetooth operation in the 2003 Range
Rover.
Bluetooth is a new
function of the latest cellular phones that allows you to wirelessly
connect your cellular phone to other accessories such as a laptop or
wireless headset. BMW's Bluetooth system takes advantage of
this functionality to allow you to use your standard Bluetooth enabled
phone in your Range Rover providing safe hands-fee operation
while
driving, plus some additional features such as voice control of your
cellular phone and navigation system (if equipped).
The nice thing about
Bluetooth is you do not need to physically connect your
cellular phone to your Range Rover. You can keep
your phone
in your pocket or purse and still use all of the functions.
Any of the pictures showing the cellphone phone in a cradle are just
illustrating the optional charging and the boosting of your cellular
phone antenna using the optional
Snap in adapters.
With the Bluetooth system you can
use the Range Rover steering wheel and Navigation controls
to navigate your cellular phone phonebook, dial numbers, increase
volume, etc. The system also allows for the voice control of
your cellular phone, voice control of your navigation system and
notepad (to save a message to yourself for later replay). The
system operates just as a factory
installed phone would operate in a BMW with the added benefit
of voice
recognition and voice control of phone and navigation.
