Well, several weeks ago a very kind soul sent me the mechanics manual and some additional files.
One of those is the 175 page wiring diagram, and it covers my VIN. But unfortunately it's not searchable, but I did get lucky and find that on the 2016 LR4 HSE, fuse 16E runs the LED's in the side view mirrors.

I took a look and on the sticker inside the cover for the fuse box, fuse 16E is indeed for those LED's and apparently only for those LED's.
AND....
Fuse 16E is installed.

Which gives me hope that the wiring harnesses are in place.
I might.... open up the back end and further confirm.
IF I open the back end I will let you know what I find...


But again the question - has anyone actually done this??
I really don't want to spend $2K on parts only to find out there is something somewhere in the software that I can't access...

LEDs are only the indicators. Are you saying the sensors are all installed, or the wiring is there and just needs the sensors installed, too?

I am saying that it appears that the vehicle MIGHT be pre-wired.
I would need to purchase the mirrors and the sensors totaling almost $2K
Then hope that the IID Tool can turn on software that may or may not exist....

Just asking again.

Has anyone successfully, actually installed blind spot monitoring in any LR4 that was not sold with that option already installed?

The parts are expensive.
After reading it looks like there might be wiring to the mirrors, but not wiring to the rear radar units, and software updates required are a total mystery.

If anyone wants to fund the experiment, I will do the physical work if someone fund the parts purchases...
