This is rather annoying. For the avoidance of doubt, my C-Class is able to connect via bluetooth and simultaneously play music through the usb cable – so it is possible!!
In summary, LR need a software update for this.
At the moment I basically can’t use my phone in the car (i.e. I keep bluetooth turned off as I rarely make calls but always listen to iphone music).

I wouldn't be surprised if it could be worked around by LR but they are very clear that the basic issue stems from IOS 5 as it all worked correctly on IOS 4 and LR haven't changed anything.
I'll try my contact at LR for any updates on their dealings with Apple and report back.

Thanks WB. I don't doubt that Apple changed something which crippled the system, through no fault of LR.
However at the end of the day Apple are the $500bn company so ultimately I think LR have to adapt and play by Apple's (ever changing) rules!!

Well I picked up my evoque yesterday and have been playing around with my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1) and as far as I can tell I don't have this issue. I can listen to music via cable, take or make calls via BT and then the cable music connection carries on where it left off (I've not even bothered to try using the BT streaming).
I did notice on one short journey yesterday that I had the cable iPhone connection supposedly playing but with no sound (I think that's the problem people have reported?) but that seemed to be because I connected the iPhone cable before the phone had connected to the car via BT. Once I reconnected the cable all was well again.
I think as long as I let the bluetooth connection establish before connecting the cable all works fine - will update if I discover this isn't the case.

maybe there's a software update out - anyone have access to the documents on topix - i.e. the bulletins etc?

Interesting - we had tried that before and it hadn't worked - I'll try mine again using that sequence with 5.1 and see if it makes a difference.

Hi,
I'm having the same issue. Having previously owned a Volvo XC60, I think that the Evoque system may well be made by the same manufacturer.
The Volvo Sensus system had the same problem, but it has been fixed with an update from Volvo. Seems that Land Rover need to do the same.
There is a thread on apple support that describes the Volvo fix if you search for ioS + car + dock + bt.

Interesting that Mercedes and Volvo have gone down this route. I've emailed my contact at LR - so will let you all know once I hear back.

I hope that you get an answer - it is the only thing about the Evoque that has been remotely disappointing for me.
