I am having this issue as well in my 2011 I just acquired. Wondering if anyone has had any luck? My GAP tool arrives on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, I personally never resolved this. I also tried this tool:
Amazon Amazon
but that didn't do anything either. I'm assuming the GAP tool that's specific to your VIN or whatever may do the trick though. I tried mostly everything else.

Hi everyone, I’m also new to LR and I’m having the same Bluetooth connectivity issue with my 2011 LR4.
was anyone able to resolve this problem.
Is there a way to test and see if the BT module in the passenger rear panel is working?


thanks!

I have a 2011 LR4 and found this issue too.

The problem: There were 2 versions of the 30pin standard (firewire and USB standard)
Seems like the 2011 LR4 uses the older firewire standard.

The Fix: You need this specific convertor (30pin to 30Pin)
Amazon Amazon

This was confirmed to work for me
I did also buy the "CableJive" adapter, but it did not work for me.


I got the idea for this from the below YouTube video, however "cable jive" did not work for me


Happy to answer more questions if its not clear.

The module can only pair with soo many phones, after it is full, it is no longer discoverable. As far as I know, there is no way to delete old phones through a menu.

Module is located in the back right, inside of the side panel just in front of the cubby bin. Removal of some screws, weatherstipping and pillar panel is required in order to move / bend the panel enough out of the way to disconnect the plug.
Please confirm the location. Because in this post you say behind the cubby, and another talks about it being in the cargo bay area behind the paneling.

Read..... The cargo area has two cubby bins and it also clearly says in front of the cubby. Which is all correct....

My kids were in town for the holidays and used my 2010 Range Rover Sport for the last two weeks. I got in the truck on Sunday morning and no phone connectivity (although it did have 3/4 of a tank of gas!). I got the same message on the screen about "If your vehicle has the phone feature fitted, please pair and / or connect you phone" I tried entering a pairing code, but there isn't a way to do it. I tried the "talk" tab on the steering wheel, nothing. Any ideas? I don't have any codes. I plugged in my Gap Tool but couldn't find anything that was helpful. 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE 5.0. Has anyone had success with unplugging the bluetooth module? Thanks Phil

Success. I unplugged the Bluetooth module, plugged it back in and now I have Bluetooth back! On the Range Rover sport the Bluetooth module is behind the right side rear panel in the cargo area. Love this forum! Saved me again.

Well that was short-lived. I got in the Rover a few hours after resetting the Bluetooth connectivity and it crapped out again. Ideas? And to make matters worse, keeping with Range Rover quality....., I have now audio at all. The screen works fine, switches between modes, but no sound. Well,, the sound of silence.........(sorry for the Simon and Garfunkel joke...) Phil
