    2011 LR4 Voice Controls

    I recently had the voice command activated on my '11 (purchased in July). I had to point the dealer and the local rep to this thread to convince them there was an available upgrade, but I give the dealer credit as they followed through and were able to get it done. That being said, the system...

    Remote Start

    I would have assumed that with the growing popularity of smartkeys, manufacturers have been able to include a remote start system in vehicles that have push button start, where the car can start but not be driven until the smartkey appears. I think the Jeep Grand Cherokee has both a smartkey...

    Remote Start

    I have had my LR4 since July, so this is our first winter with it. Our LR4 does not have a warm and dry garage to rest in - so it will be outside in the [sometimes] harsh winter weather - ice, snow, cold, etc. When I bought the truck, the salesman said that there is no way to add a remote...

    iPhone IOS 5 WARNING

    I recently updated two iPhones to IOS 5 and both work fine on the bluetooth phone side of things. I also don't use them for the music/iPod connection under the armrest, though, as I purchased an iPod classic to hold my entire collection and always be available - works great. The user interface...

    Installation question: lamp guards and rear access ladder

    I actually purchased the rear lamp guards and started to attempt installation, until I saw the need to drill holes in the sheet metal behind the lamp. Decided that wasn't something I wanted to mess up, so I spent the $100-$200 (don't recall exactly what it was but it was in that range) at the...

    HID installed

    Just a follow up to this thread, I recently ordered the DDM HID kit (35W/5000k), and it was relatively easy to install. The descriptions/suggestions in prior posts certainly helped. I took a pic (attached, hopefully) after installing the driver's side. You can clearly see the difference...

    2012 Updates

    Take a look at Edmunds.com - they have pricing & specs for the 2012 LR4. Pricing doesn't seem very different, and the options seem to be accurate based on prior releases - 7 in. screen, hard drive, etc. Two things I noticed - looks like Sirius is an option in all trims, and the HSE now...

    Irene

    For those of you on the east coast, good luck. I am on Long Island, which is currently in Irene's crosshairs (hopefully it will move further east by the weekend). Nervous to have to leave my month-old LR4 outside in the driveway, but our single car garage gets the old MB convertible for this...

    First Service Lesson Learned

    I agree w/ Eightlug, actually just ordered Bosch Icon wipers for my new '11 LR4 (wasn't thrilled with the performance of the OEM blades, they seemed to be a little streaky), I've been putting the Bosch blades on all of my cars for the past few years, and have been very satisfied with their...

    HID installed

    Thanks for the input. Since the DRLs required the low beams to be on full time, I decided to forego the change. Instead, I ordered the HID kit from DDM and will go with that - still not overly thrilled with the visibility with the CVs - in part due to the sharp and somewhat low cutoff on the...

    HID installed

    My LR4 is going in tomorrow to have some accessories installed, and I was thinking of having the dealer program the daytime running lights (to stay on). I've already installed the Philips CVs, but still considering the HID upgrade several on this board have done successfully. Question is - can...

    21 MPG not bad

    I've mentioned this on a previous post, but I recently purchased a 2011 LR4, and traded in a 2008 GMC Acadia. The Acadia and other similar crossovers are heavily promoted for their so-called better fuel efficiency (compared to other SUVs), but in 3 years I never averaged more than 12-13 mpg in...

    HID installed

    I recently upgraded to the Philips CVs but I'm still curious about the HID upgrade kit. One question (for now, at least) - are the bulbs used in the DDM kit proprietary or are HID bulbs generally interchangeable regardless of what kit/installation you have? (their web site states: "Will this...

    LR Newbie - Thoughts/Questions

    Hey all! Just picked up a 2011 LR4 HSE (Orkney Grey/Black Interior/Black Trim) last week, just in time for a trip up to the Berkshire Mountains in the northeast US. Traded in a very buggy 2008 GMC Acadia, which I thought was comfortable and had a nice ride (when the transmission wasn't...
