I’ve today finally sorted the Bluetooth unit on my Freelander 2, this is the second FL2 I’ve owned as I had a 2007 TD4 HSE and never had a problem with the media equipment. However I bought a newer SD4 HSE luxury 2010 60 plate and after a few months the Bluetooth started playing up. This would drop out continuously and cause the nav & radio to keep switching on & off and in the process the phone connection was lost. I changed the relays in the rear fuse box which did not sort the problem. This week I finally bought a second hand unit from a 2008 FL2 took just 10 minutes to fit in the rear off side boot area. Suddenly everything back to normal for the princely sum of £45 ‘used‘ off eBay. A new one was £485 plus vat so that wasn’t an option. In short the only answer is swap it out for a replacement, what goes wrong with the unit is unknown as it’s a sealed black box, given this would have been a £35000 car new it doesn’t say a lot for the quality of this Bluetooth part as after 12years old it brings the whole media kit to its knees. This unit is used on Volvo’s and some Ford models so you may even be able to pickup cheaper.
