Just got a RR SC '08 - Questions for a newbie
Subscribe
Hello All,
I use to be Porsche owner, and have frequent this board often. Recently, I
just got a RR SC '08 and I had some questions. Any help would be greatly apprecaited!
1. About the DVD. I can't seem to get the DVD to play up front (head rests is no prob). I am not sure if it makes a difference, but I didn't get the remote control with the car. Is there a hack or is my unit broken.?
2. I was told the car had bluetooth. When I select the phone option, it just tells me that it is not available. I see the cradle in the center arm rest, but it looks like it is missing something. I am more interested in connecting to the phone via blue tooth then actually installing a second phone, as I use Sprint, and therefore have no SIMM card.
3. For the back up camera, the signal is really blurry/fuzzy/pixilated. It's really bad, and considering the price of the car and what must be a direct wired connection, I can't imagine the signal to be so weak. Any fix for this?
Thanks so much for your time to help out this RR neewbie!

Sidra,
Congratulations on the purchase and i hope i can shed some light.
1. In my car the dvd only works on the rear screens, i think this is the same with all of them
2.I had to get a new phone to make it compatible but the problem was with turning the phones bluetooth on rather than the stereo itself.
3. Not sure, maybe you have a faulty unit? Mine works fine, it's not exactly hd but its clear.

the DVD shouldn't be able to play up front unless the car is in park, it's made that way for safety and pretty much all cars with DVD capabilities are made this way from the factory. as Nthusiast said, it'll go away when you shift into a different gear. i did a couple searches on Google for a hack but i don't see anything.
Thanks for the responses.
1. I figured out the bluetooth. Actually a salesperson showed what to do. Need to configure with the code 2121. Works great!!!
2. As for the DVD, I have a full size, NOT a sport. I have read that the sport does allow for viewing DVD's up front when stopped, however this is not true for the full size. Doesn't make sense but that's what I read.
3. As for the crappy rear view camera, I'm gonna have service look at the connection.
I also hear from the salesman that RR has a lot of supercharged parts left (i.e. grills, side vents, and black piano wood) and is going to start installing them with the regular HSE's for 2009-10 model. Anyone hear the same? I hope that is not the case.
