Help with Third Row Seatbelt Replacement
I never received a reply and had been unable to find much explanation online. But I pushed forward and recently replaced the 3rd row seatbelt. Now I'm sorry I didn't document the procedure with photographs or video. I had been worried about disturbing the airbag behind the upper trim. I ended... -
LR3 Add CarPlay without removing radio
@Nelz99 yes, the included backup camera implementation is fantastic. When the vehicle is in reverse, any streaming audio pauses and the entire screen instantly shows the camera image full frame. The image quality is much better than the (wireless) Garmin BC-30 I had been using for years... -
Help with Third Row Seatbelt Replacement
My puppy chewed one of the seatbelts on the driver’s side of the third row seat of my 2007 LR3 HSE. I purchased a replacement seatbelt on eBay. After a quick look, I’m not seeing how to access the bolt that goes into the floor. Also, the seatbelt retracts through a slot in the back upper trim... -
LR3 Add CarPlay without removing radio
FYI, a different approach. Today I installed a Road Top 7” Touchscreen Monitor with integrated wireless CarPlay, microphone for hands free phone calls, and backup camera. Super easy to install, it just adds to the system you have. You can output audio via integrated FM transmitter or by wire to... -

Re British Concepts BT unit, the steering wheel buttons for volume and track control don’t work, is that true? -
Catalytic Converter Heat Shield Loose and Vibrating
Thanks, Catman. I spent a little more time with the rattling noise this afternoon. I don't think it's coming from this cover after all. It sounds like a tinny, light metal rattling, which is pronounced with acceleration then subsides. The sound appears to be coming from underneath the floor... -
Catalytic Converter Heat Shield Loose and Vibrating
Hi everyone. Just following up to this thread. I have not pursued a remedy yet but I'm still being plagued by a vibration sound seeming to come from under the passenger floor. It commences at 20 to 30 MPH and continues at highway speed and it only occurs with throttle-- let your foot off the gas... -
Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
Hi, uoflcardfan. Yes, if you've worn out the Unlock button on your key fob, it's probably a good idea to change the key fob unlock mode away from Single-point entry, ha-ha. I don't know about changing the cover for the key... Before I bought an entire new key fob, I don't know, I might try... -
Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
Yes, cmb6s, it seems like some of these "features" are hobbled. I have a couple of large German Shepherds and my first thought was to be able to lower the vehicle to access height with my key fob. But as johnsoax points out, what's the point of key fob control when you need to open the car and... -
Catalytic Converter Heat Shield Loose and Vibrating
In the last week I've noticed a new sound. Seems to be coming from underneath the passenger floor area and it sounds like a wind flapping vibration rattle... it starts about 35 MPH goes away, starts again. Coincidentally I had LOF service done about a week ago. I stopped by today and asked... -
Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
Update. I played with this a bit and it's not working. When you walk up to the locked vehicle, press the Land Rover button, you hear the rear window hatch release activate and the window moves a little bit but when you attempt to open the hatch, it's stuck and will not open. Only when I press... -
Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
Good catch, thanks Houm, I edited my Post #4 above for clarity. By pressing the key fob button the rear glass hatch unlocks and pops open a half inch or so. The exact same experience as if you unlocked the rear hatch glass by the exterior hand grip/switch. The lifting of the window is up to you... -
Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
Thanks, Umberto. I was able to reprogram the Land Rover emblem button to unlock the rear glass hatch. Don't know if you need to begin by turning on the ignition, but I did. I put the key in the ignition, turned it to Accessory, immediately removed the key, walked around to the back of the... -
Programming 3rd Button on Key Fob Transmitter
Re-reading the LR3 owner's manual, I learned that the key fob transmitter has a third function button: the Land Rover emblem at the bottom can be programmed to perform different functions. The owner's manual explains how to set it up to act as a panic button, sounding the alarm system... -
installing backup camera from garmin
Hi. I looked at all the costly options for integrating with the existing display. ThinkDima turned me on to the Garmin Nuvi with Backup Camera and I absolutely love it. I spent five minutes "installing" it, including the camera. The camera is powered by the existing 12 volt power port near the...
