is there spell check on forum Question


Dont think so! I use this! http://www.iespell.com/ Download it, then when you want to spell check, right click and click 'Check spelling'! Easy!


Or use Firefox with in-built spell check Wink

marcon, an update for you !

I was in the dealers this morning & I checked the XE Disco in the yard, it only has Bluetooth connectivity for the PTI.

No cradle or wiring for one.

The Stornaway XE, also new, that they had in the showroom up until last week had a cradle.

But it now looks like the cradle is dropped on the PTI, with Bluetooth being the only way to connect your phone.

IE7 has a spell check too which (for once) is easier to use than the Firefox one IMO Wink

OS X has spell checking built in system wide Wink

But then you knew that right Rolling with laughter

Anyway...

As I said MY2008.5 has no cradle. MY2008 has. Showroom models will vary in age. My XS was ex-stock so had the cradle and is a MY2008 D3.

Yeah I guess that's it.

The D3 with the cradle I saw was a 2008MY & the one without is a 2008.5MY

I am scheduled to replace my D3 later this year. Where I live the phone signal is crap. When I use the phone on Bluetooth it is not very reliable. However, when the phone is in it's cradle the system is great.
If available, I would buy the cradle and external antenna system again.
What is the chance that I could strip out all the required kit from my current car and refit it into the new car?

Cheers, alan

I have been told this cannot be done as there is no input to head unit for cradle.(From dealer,check it out just in case)


You could probably get a cradle to suit your phone(A second hand Bury kit if you could come across one as you only need cradle,cradle mount and lead) and use power and aerial connections on it and bluetooth connection to D3 unit.Just make sure you find the right wires for power and don't connect the others so phone thinks it is not in cradle.(Nokia anyway)You have to cut off connector that plugs into head unit and find the power wires ,aerial is seperate anyway.Did this for a friend in his VW passat with a Nokia ck-15 car kit,used his bury cradle and stick on aerial on windscreen.Assuming you have a Nokia 6230i for existing cradle.

Still prefer fin aerial and cradle in centre console,but as Simon posted earlier,it would be hard to wire in aerial and take it out of D3 Sad
