2013 Freelander 2 Bluetooth

[AUMF]

Hello,

I purchased a 2013 Freelander TD4 a few months back. Great vehicle to drive!!

It has the phone buttons on the steering wheel and main console. It also has what is called the low line head unit at the top of the console. It is an Australian exported version, if that differs from the UK model.

On the internet there is debate about the 2013 model having bluetooth as standard. I did a VIN check and it indicates my car has the bluetooth module fitted and from what I can gather the 2013 model has it in front of the head unit not at the side of the wagon rear.

I can't get it to pair to my phone, and I can only get as far as "select phone" on the main screen.

Would my car have it? Are there alternative ways to access it and is there an aftermarket version available. Many after market units advertise compatible 2007 to 2012 models only.

Have you deleted all the old phones in the system?

The screen prompts me to select phones, then I tap on the screen and it doesn't progress further.

Unfortunately my car only has a small black and white screen at the top of the console and no smaller screen mid way down as in this youtube video.

I think you still have to navigate with one of the buttons.
They used different systems over the years and models so it can be difficult to be sure.

I have the same issue that you are talking about I don’t know how to connect my phone or if it’s possible if you find out could you let me know?

I have done a fair bit of research, and unfortunately no, it isn't possible.

My VIN in the database says my car has a bluetooth module in the build spec but it must not be connected.

It’s seems strange as it has the green and red buttons on the wheel and the dash why would landrover do this.Thanks for your help.
