Muddycharles,
I know that Rover's have reliability issues. Trust me. I started with a 99 Discovery and have had 2 full size Range Rovers, all purchased brand new. I've dealt with a brand new truck leaking power steering fluid on my driveway and other "quirks". The key is that my dealer always made it right.

I did not even try integrating my iPhone with the RR. It was not worth it. BMW claims integration with the phone, it should just work.
