Grr missed it.
The pairing process works, but receiving and making calls is intermittent, eventhough the RRS swears that it doesn't see the Treo.
Basically, when I make/receive a call from the Treo, sometimes the RRS's bluetooth would work fine (hear/talk through the car's audio system), and most other times I would hear ringing through the car's speaker eventhough I've picked up the call from the Treo.
In the latter case, after answering the call on the Treo and I still hear ringing in the car, I get around this by pulling the "Listening" lever on the *left* side of the steering wheel twice (one to turn on and another to turn off), and then I can proceed to speak/hear my call fine.
Strange? No doubt. Stupid? Indeed. It's a work around to make my Treo work, but I sure don't want to switch phone for just my RRS's sake.

Land Rover sent me a travel bag for my anniversary along with a discount coupon for a 2006 Range Rover. I also just received an issue of their magazine. I am glad that I bought the vehicle. I have black/black and wouldn't mind having a lighter color. I am tempted to order a 2007.

I had a Discovery the past four years, and never had a single issue, and never had to take it in except for routine interval maintenance. So, I just don't get all this hand wringing and crying about Land Rovers quality. I'm either the luckiest guy alive or there is alot of BS flying around.
At any rate I loved the drive my Disco had with ACE, but this Sport just beats that hands down...the most pleasurable vehicle I've ever driven. My wife has a Yukon and it drives like a marshmallow compared to my Disco, and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the Sport.
If you are worried about LR reliability as I was before I purchased my Disco, just go up to a few owners when you see them in a parking lot and ask them first hand. What I got out of that was polar opposite from what I read on the web.
Recently she lost her phone, and so we had the insurance replaced it with a new phone. Our main concern was to get her a phone that would work with our RRS since she doesn't care much for the PDA functionalities. Funny thing was we requested a "downgraded" phone such as one of the Motorola or Nokia phones, but the insurance stated that we are not allowed to downgrade.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, we decided to get the 700w instead of the 700p, and as it turns out the 700w works quite well with the RRS' bluetooth. All incoming and outgoing calls are hanlded properly by the RRS, not just the initial call.
Just is simply to inform all those who are thinking of getting a 700w. BTW, I still have my Treo 650 and it works well in my 02 M5.
Bu I also got the same response - drive it about 2000 miles and it should go away. Its within normal tolerances.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Have you experienced any further issues with you motor since your posting?
If you buy one don't get BLACK! It is impossible to keep clean. Next time I would get white.
Funny how a Hyundai dealer would give you a new car and apologize profusely for the flaw while Land Rover claims it is part of the car's experience...
Of course, Hyundai's cost way less and have a 10 year warranty.
I thought this was a luxury car? And people wonder why Asian car companies are thriving while Ford (Land Rover parent) is facing financial dire straits?
What can we do about this ticking sounds? Simply unnaceptable for a luxury car - or any modern car.
PLEASE.
You guys are way too picky just drive with your windows up. I have probably worked on and driven more cars then either of you two combined. That noise is a common noise on many different vehicles that sometimes goes away and sometimes does not.
It seems to be espescialy common on cars with long exhaust systems where the majority of he exhaust is directly exposed to the outside air.
It does this on my 2006 LR3 HSE (v8) with 1500 miles on it...
If it's still doing it at 5000 miles I may mention it, but it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the vehicle, and it's relatively (IMHO) minor as an annoyance.
Now, if they could only get my roofliner to stop rattling, that would be perfect.

I guess it just depends on your dealer?
Not all dealers are created equal but that is why there are CSI surveys. If your dealer is treating you poorly then answer that CSI call when it comes in. Explain what is going on to Land Rover. Land Rover will warn the dealer and the dealer should call you to see what they can do to help the situation.
If that still doesn't satisfy you then blast them in the written survey. They Land Rovers bonus program is setup a very bad sales or service survey will get their attention better then anything else. Just make sure you fill in the comments section to explain why you gave them the scores that you did.
Sure enough they told me I needed new brake pads all around and I need to have front rotors replaced. I couldnt believe this could happen already. This is what I was trying to avoid by having them check the brakes. I thought they check them anyway when its in for service. If they were monitored dont you think I shouldve had brake pads a while ago before having rotors replaced? This just sounds funny to me. I never know if they are just taking advantage of the fact that I am a woman and I wont question their diagnosis. Thank you for your time

Also, I never even had Land Rover call me for a survey after my purchase nor did I get a survey in the mail. Was I supposed to?
When I'm at a stoplight people in their cars look at my RSS and their faces look like they smell something funny.
What do we do when this sound does not go away? Are they trying to pass off these lemons to us as "normal?"
BTW, sound in my RSS is getting louder and more frequent. My sales rep says that if it doesn't go away after 6k miles, they will fix or replace... somehow I smell something funny too now...
I've driven every current Land Rover, excepting the (not yet released) LR2.
They all do the same thing.. If you have seen one that is not doing it, it has probably been broken in.
The only one I have driven recently that didn't do it was a traded-in 2005 LR3 SE (V8) with 12,000 miles on it that I was driving as a loaner.
I've also been around a lot of racing cars, and many of those do the same thing - I don't feel embarassed by it - I feel proud that my beastie makes all kinds of mancing "you have no idea how much power I can crank out" sounds of cooling down.
In summary: no big deal.

Many, many, many vehicles do that. It is no big deal just relax and enjoy the vehicle. Stop being so concerned what other people think.

Thx for replying D!
Thx in advance for the reply.
To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.
You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.
To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!
Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
