Greetings lads from across the pond...stumbled onto this site while trying to dig up (lacking info on the net) for US based LR4's
I have the HSE Lux package and had a few questions regarding features that I do or don't have...
Power mirrors - says I do, can't get them to work like the manual says. If I don't are the motors there and just not activated and can this be done via software?
Daytime Running Lights - I want to enable this function but according to US dealers they cannot activate or don't know how (find this hard to believe) as Canada it is law. One dealer said there is a software screw up and if they try it will shut down the vehicle and it will not do anything (I read this as bad)
Global close - still can't get this to work...
Making movies available while in motion?
Access to vehicle diagnostics - or "easter eggs" to turn on hidden features etc without heading to the dealer.
Thanks - Jeff1984 911 Carrera

HI
For the hidden features and diagnostics you need the Faultmate MSV2 from Blackbox Soloutions.
You will have to keep a eye out on there site as the D4 5.0L tool/software has not been added yet, however it wont be long before a public relice.
It will be worth the wait in my opinion from the features the MSV2 already has its a fantastic tool and well worth the money.

Hi,
I think you and me have the same car specs. I got mine a couple of days ago, so I don't think I am the best person to help you. Anyway:
1 - my power mirrors are working fine. Can't imagine why your aren't working.
2 - you say you just can't make the front LEDs work? I am not sure I understood your problem. My car has the daytime lights working fine too. I just set the lights in AUTO mode.
3 - not sure if mine is working either...I still didn't test it.
Sorry about my stupid questions, but I'm really interested in this product. 8)
I visited the black box website, but I am really new to this stuff and I coudn't figure it out what exactly I need to buy in order to hack my car and how I plug all this gizmos into my D4.
Also, since I have an HSE with all the acessories except the Surround camera, what really benefits I will have purchasing this system?
Can you help me please?
Thanks!

HI
The MSV2 is a diagnostic tool that would plug/connect to the car via the OBD port located at the bottom of the dash panal.
If you already have all the extras fitted on your car then part of the tools capeabilitys you wont need or use, but the functions that are left will enable you to have diagnostics to save on dealer visits.

The DRL (Daytime Running Lamps) are not user enabled - they are not auto headlamps. With this feature when the car is put into drive the headlamps operate at a reduced intensity (no other lights are on). Its the law in Canada.
Anyway the dealer over here says the software is a problem and it will render the car useless...until they have a patch.
No idea on the mirrors - maybe I don't ahve them, but my vehicle has every opption but the cameras - unless that was a package?1984 911 Carrera

I am uncertain why your dealer is telling you that. Maybe they have an issue with their diagnostic software, but DLR should be enabled by selecting that option in the CCF file configuration options. There are two versions that LR implement, and it sounds like the Canadian version is the one for you.
Not sure what you mean about reduced intensity, DLR uses dipped beam headlamps.

For the avoidance of doubt, and taken straight from the horse:
xxxx
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
DRL use the full intensity low beam headlamps which are permanently illuminated when the vehicle is being driven. DRL are used in a number of markets and there are two systems to cover these markets.
DRL CANADIAN MARKET
DRL for this market use full intensity low beam headlamps. The side marker lamps and license plate lamps will be on, but instrument cluster illumination will be off. DRL are active when the following parameters are met:
Parking brake is off on vehicles with manual transmission or PARK is not selected on vehicles with automatic transmission
Ignition switch is in the ignition position (II)
The central junction box receives an engine running signal
The lighting control switch is in the off or side lamps position.
NOTE:
If the lighting control switch is moved to the headlamp position, DRL are deactivated and normal side lamp and headlamp functionality is operational.
NOTE:
Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS) (where fitted) is not available when the DRL are active.
NOTE:
When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally. The high beam headlamp function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will be deactivated.
When the parking brake is applied on manual transmission vehicles or the selector lever is in the PARK position on automatic transmission vehicles, DRL are turned off. This is to reduce battery discharge during long periods of engine idling in cold climate conditions. When the parking brake is released or the selector lever is moved from the PARK position, normal DRL functionality is restored.
DRL DENMARK, HOLLAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN, FINLAND & POLAND
DRL for these markets use full intensity low beam headlamps. Side lamps and license plate lamps will be on, but instrument cluster illumination will be off. DRL are active when the following parameters are met:
Ignition switch is in the ignition position (II)
The central junction box receives an engine running signal
The lighting control switch is in the off position.
NOTE:
When DRL are active, the headlamp flash function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will operate normally. The high beam headlamp function using the left hand steering column multifunction switch will be deactivated.
If the lighting control switch is moved to the side lamp or headlamp positions, DRL are deactivated and normal side lamp and headlamp functionality is operational.
xxxxx
There are some minor differences in functionality.

I would advise if your dealer is to frightend to diagnose and change your car they stop selling them lol.
If they are telling you the tools they have can render your car disabled then you dont have much to help you when you need them in the future.
I think they are fobbing you off because they are scared of the NEWnes of the D4 and dont want problems because they dont understand it.
You can have the faultmate MSV2 no matter what country you are in it should be available to the public for the D4 very soon.

According to Land Rover USA spec sheet, the power folding mirrors is an exclusive feature on HSE Lux Plus model (one with surround camera) only and not available on any other model. I doubt they would put motors in for nothing.
