Land Rover did send me an e-mail explaining the problem, but again it puts the problem squarely on 'Apple', so guess the more people that phone apple, the quicker it may get solved

Land Rover sent you an email? Would you mind posting its content please?

Has anyone else had any emails from LR??

Further to my post above, how small is this !

   

Is that one of those 20p's with no date on it.....

^^ unfortunately not - it's on the tails side.

iOS 5 on iPhone 4S works in 11MY Range Rover. Is this because the Range Rover does not have Bluetooth Streaming?

^^^ yes

In my Evoque, the iPhone Bluetooth also seems to cut-out the USB ports, even if I'm using a thumb drive. The music will typically play for 45seconds, and then cut out.

I need to do some more testing, but to date the only solution appears to be to de-pair my phone. This isn't a disaster (I'm not that popular, and my wife can pair her iOS4 phone instead), but still a bit annoying.

The bluetooth streaming gives noticable worse audio quality than the usb connection, so ultimately I choose to have no phone rather than listen to poor quality music. (I guess if a call comes in I can quickly pair the phone before answering).

As I said, I will do a bit more testing on this. It may be that a specific sequence of pairing/plugging can solve this problem.

I don't doubt that this is an Apple-engineered issue.

I've tried today music streaming from my iPhone 4 with latest IOS 5. I didn't run into any issue at all. I have also answered a couple phone calls during the journey. The music and phone switched seamlessly. No issue at all.

Were you streaming over the cable or Bluetooth?

via BT... Did I misunderstand the problem...
