    2014 LR4: Biggest POS Ever Owned

    Subject reads 2014 LR4. There was a thread a while back about someone else having their LR4 (forget the year) turn off while driving - didn't mention transmission shifting to park though. Interesting, awaiting an update from the OP since it LR4 is probably at the dealer by now.

    IIDTool for LR4 - When???

    Wow. That is an insane requirement to disable the chime. Is that in the manual or some semi-hidden trick?

    What makes you loyal?

    Non-LR owner opinion on 20 years of driving. Short answer is nothing (yet). Nothing makes me loyal because I've yet to force myself to buy from the same brand even though the vehicles I've owned so far have been great. 1986 Toyota 4th gen pickup (232k when sold) 2002 Honda Accord...

    LR4 2011 vs 2012

    I ran into a similar issue Andy. However, my first post here never showed up (after waiting days) from what I could find. My second post did show up right away and each post thereafter. Either way, welcome :)

    iPod/iPhone options for 2012 Base?

    I bought a dedicated iPod Classic for the car, which has much more storage than an iPod touch or iPhone (and cheaper to buy). That way I keep my entire music collection (~50GB) available in the car via USB at all times and use my iPhone to stream music or podcasts if needed. This setup works...

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    That looks like an exception and not a trend to a stratospherically high RR price. Though ridiculous all the same.

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    Have read on other forums that the factory retools for new MYs from July/August. My order went in end of May scheduled for delivery end of August. It's likely that I'll be getting part of the last batch of MY14s.

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    What void, are expecting the RR price to increase creating a void for the LR4 to fill?

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    My immediate observation was they (the sales assistant) got spooked that I even brought it up and are concerned i'm ready to back out (no deposit down on the order I have ongoing with them) so they threw me the "there is only one choice for you" comment. Apparently they don't realize the...

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    Just heard back: The 2015 model of the LR4 has only been announced in Europe and is not for the U.S. market. 2015 LR4 orders will not be available in the US until the end of the year at the earliest.

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    Agreed on the clutter, not worth the effort on a typical drive. I don't use any of the 3rd party apps on my iPhone via Bluetooth to our Odyssey, I just play the Music app for Radio streaming. This is why I'm looking forward to CarPlay as it'll be seamless for Music, Phone, and Maps, the...

    2015 LR4/Discovery 4

    Personally not too interested in the MY15 apps, at least I wouldn't miss them in my 2014. CarPlay would be very important to me, once that's released hopefully there will be a way to integrate it into older infotainment systems (but i doubt it). Just emailed my dealer. My MY14 is on order...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    I thought so too, was wondering if that JKU was really still a JKU! Nice to see the FJ since before I arrived into an LR4 frame of mind I ping-ponged off getting an FJ, 4Runner, and JKU for months. The 4Runner was the front runner since the JKU lacks some airbags and the FJs funky back doors...

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    I was really impressed at how the LR4 raced up that gravel hill easily beating the others. Curious how the '14 LR4 would compare against this V8 LR4 in the same situation as I don't know if this had to do with pure strength vs traction control.

    OJ/EP LR4 Tonight on Top Gear USA

    They said the LR4 stalled twice while rock climbing, that seems unexpected. What are your thoughts on that?

    Looking black OEM cross bar for '14 LR4

    Man I really butchered this title :-D The Thules cross bars are a nice fit but wow they're the same price as the Thule Alpine cargo box I have 0_0. Someday I may end up getting something like a baja rack and I wonder if a 3rd party cross bar (like Thule) would fit those better than OEM cross bars.

    Looking black OEM cross bar for '14 LR4

    Appreciate the help Dubroz. After more searching I've found other threads that also mention that LR4/LR3 cross bars are interchangeable. Some parts stores still have the LR3 set new (if their inventory is accurate) at $316 while new on clearance LR4 set is $309. eBay has a pretty used pair...

    Looking black OEM cross bar for '14 LR4

    Hey, glad to hear the LR3's fit! I'll keep an eye out for them, thanks. Are they lockable?

    Looking black OEM cross bar for '14 LR4

    My 2014 LR4 order contains the black package which means I 'll be getting the black extended roof racks. I like to keep cross bars on my SUVs year round. Unfortunately the OEM LR4 cross bars have a lot of chrome...

    Roof rack 2014 LR4

    Do the Yakima cross bars extend beyond roof rails? I prefer the clean look where the cross bar isn't protruding past the roof rails and have usually had to go OEM to get that.

    Roof rack 2014 LR4

    Since we're on the discussion I've been mulling over roof racks too for my upcoming LR4. Ideally I'd like an extended Baja rack, but realistically I need something simpler. Was reading this thread and finlay brought up a good point that a rack not using the crossbars (ex. mounted into roof...

    Subwoofer doesn't turn on (software glitch)

    There's a local shop I use for audio upgrades (I don't do it myself). Given that concerts are too much money these days (and my wife likes completely different music), I have them in my car instead <shrug>

    Subwoofer doesn't turn on (software glitch)

    Ugh. The only upgrade I have planned now for my LR4 is to install an aftermarket amp/subwoofer. Appears this problem may persist after the install.

    Lr4 Mpg

    Glad this thread popped up as I've been wondering about this (extensive internet searching hasn't come up with any good user data). Anyone know what the advertised MPG for 2010 - 2013 LR4s vs advertised for 2014? Same question regarding actual MPG from user tests?
