Have you had any problems with your bluetooth? My iphone 4 seems to connect and disconnect every few minutes. Never had any problems with my previous BB Bold or iphone 3G.

Tried it on my MB and have no problems.

 

I have a iphone 3Gs and since i upgraded to the 4.0 OS it has been disconnecting a few times each ride. it didn;t happen prior to the 4.0 software upgrade

 

Thanks for the info. It looks like the IOS 4.0 software is having reception issues on both the iphone 4 and 3G(S) (those who have upgraded to 4.0). There are several reports if you cover the left side of the iphone 4 that the reception bars goes all the way down to "Searching". I tried it and it does do that. Rumors are saying Apple might release a update (IOS 4.0.1) tomorrow or sometime this week to resolve this problem. Hopefully this update/patch works!

 

I replaced my iPhone 3G with a iPhone4. I had quite a bit of trouble getting my iPhone 4 to pair with the car, but it finally did. I have seen some bluetooth disconnects the first day, but they are becoming less frequent. Yesterday, no problems. Slightly off-topic: The iPhone 4 has a glass back, so it tends to slide around on the center console while I drive. Where do you leave your iphone when you drive? A stick on holder is out of the question.

 

thanks for the info. I haven't driven the Jag since last friday (been driving the SL65 mostly this week) so I'll take it out later today for a spin and try iphone 4 again to see if I have the disconnection problem. Looks like the ios 4.0.1 software update won't be available until next week now.

As for the iphone, I usually just put it in my pocket or just place it in the cigarette tray.

 

I just upgraded my phone to 4.0 and aside from it not always docking the first attempt (it did that with 3.1.2 as well), my phone has been working like a champ.

As for where I keep my phone when I am in the car. I installed a Kuda phone mount along with a DICE pass though dock. This is more to be able to see what is playing through the ACM but it also makes for a very nice place to keep the phone while driving.

I wish the stitching on the mount was white to match my dash, but I guess that is just nit picking.

 

normally if your past phone work and the new one doesn't or acts weird its normally the phones problem. the software in the phone is the problem. Jaguar's bluetooth system don't have software upgrades so most new phones will work funny. my droid will not connect to newer XK's and new gen XJ. when the new xf came out took me 1hr to get a iphone to connect. that way fun lol.

 

I decided to take the XKR to the health club last night and it had some problems pairing(took a few times) with the iphone 4 in the beginning but afterwards it was fine with no disconnections. Heading home it paired automatically without any problems. Hopefully it's fine from now on.

 

I have an Iphone 4 and an 05 XJ8L. There is a loud ticking noise when you use the phone in normal hand held mode. The call recipient can barely understand a conversation it is so loud. I have tested this with two iphone 4's. No problem with the 3G or 3Gs or any other cell phone I know about.

 

My Jag doesn't even see my LG phone, but it pairs with my Blackberry just fine. Although, when I go to NAMES it's just a long list of phone numbers, no names. Go figure.

 

Check the lg phone. There are different bluethooth features and the LG may not have the feature to download your address book or to hook up to your car.

 

No problem connecting my Verizon HTC Droid Incredible to my 2009 XKR Portfolio. Calls in and out work fine. But I haven't figured out how to download my phone book; I think I might just have to manually input most frequently called numbers/names.

7/13/11 UPDATE: No need to manually input phonebook data. After reading p. 287 of the Owner's Handbook, I was able to get my phonebook to automatically download. It also updates automatically.

 

I am trying to pair my iphone 4G and when it goes through the pairing/docking sequence it comes back with a message stating that phone could not be found and requests retry. The phone has bluetooth activated and is placed on the display during attempted pairing. I have 08 XK. Any advice?

@fstick09- Would you post the specifics on your phone cradle, model features, etc?

 

I need, so use, the Bberry Tour, which, since day one, disconnects at various points during the ride. If you all are having issues with the iPhone, I believe there is a Jag Bberry issue, not a phone issue, as the same phone has paired sans problem with my GMC and BMW. Jag says its my phone but its BS. It re-connects immediately every time.

 

Bberry 9630 v. 5.0.0.975 software

 

I have the same problem Ghost, ho I'm using a Droid. I will connect fine at start up but throughout my ride the BT is always losing my phone and I have to reconnect and find the phone again.

 

I've been impressed how seamlessly our BB 9530's pair and function with the BT in our 08 XK. We are taking a pass on any iPhone's,and sticking with BB's.

I have a Droid X and it works flawlessly in my 07...

 

I have a Verizon iPhone 4. It works perfectly with my '07 XK. Pairs every time and never drops. BTW my previous Droid 2 also worked well.
