hello, new to the forum. My 08 LR3 bluetooth is horrible. I can hear callers on the other end, but they tell me they can hardly hear me. I'd like to do the D4 BT upgrade. where can I get the module and install instructions? thanks

Hi Guys
I am new to the site and Thanks Wiggs for the previous info on the Bluetooth Modules.
I have a 06 RR SC and the Bluetooth module went out. My question is the module that I have can be replaced by installing a new 09-11 Module with some simple wiring harness changes. Is that right? If so I live in the US and curious about the cost for purchase and shipping to the US. Thanks for the help.

I have tried to read through all 55 pages of this thread but started to get confused, therefore I hope someone can answer my query for me.
I have a 55 HSE, it has every conceivable factory fitted extra in it (more to go wrong!). I ideally want my iPhone to auto connect to the Bluetooth, my old iPhone 3 did but new iPhone 5 has to be paired every time I turn the engine on and off a and I invariably forget until the phone rings in my handbag somewhere.
So to achieve this do I need a firmware upgrade - if so where can I get this done near Southampton?
Or do I need a D4 module change - if so will I be able to do this myself - I'm quite handy with car bits - have to be with this Disco that seems to have every problem going.
I'm not to fussed about the phone book stuff and other controls - as long as I can answer and end calls with the column buttons and see whos calling on the display (at the moment it comes up on the dashboard display not the audio display). I also have some weird old Nokia phone cradle in the fridge lid -
is this relevant to any of these workings?
Any help or guidance would be gratefully received.

You need your Bluetooth module software upgraded.
Wiggs offers an exchange service but anybody with a Faultmate can perform the upgrade for you (but takes a while to write the upgraded files).
I happen to know that a Faultmate owner will be visiting Southampton on Saturday...
