    Aftermarket Carplay/Android Auto

    I think I finally came up with the perfect solution for me and my LR4. I bought an aftermarket 10.26" Apple Carplay/Android Auto unit. It does Bluetooth handoff for music and handles wireless for the carplay/AA so there's a little bit of a hiccup if you have your phone auto connect to the LR4...

    Modernize the infotainment without hacking :P

    Hey all - I keep seeing all these 3rd party options to rip and replace the infotainment system, screens, etc. There's always this fear of "what am I doing to ruin my ride?" thought that grips me when I look at any of these products. I've been using a vent mounted phone charging holder for...

    Front seat armrest

    Hey all - I'm debating a Defender to add to the collection. I'm curious about the front seat adjustable arm rests. They aren't offered as an option yet I see them being sold online as aftermarket and it looks like a direct install. Are the seats ready for those already and LR just doesn't offer...

    Defender(s) making a massive scene recovering a 20ton truck

    Granted it took two of them but they pulled it off. Pretty impressive frame.

    Working on an “infotainment” upgrade

    It’s not the final product yet but check out how well an iPad mini fits on the dash and basically adds a whole computer to the car. I’m working on getting the native USB to power it and all the audio comes hardwired. This will get my phone off the dash mount and make for a major upgrade with...

    LED swap out

    Pretty sure there’s a thread on this already but search is failing me. Anybody do the LED replacement across the entire interior? I’m tired of the yellow battery burners and would prefer going to LED for a refresh. Would like to know what you used and if it was worth it. I found this set...

    LED Projector Puddle Lamps

    Sure they're "glam" but they're fun and super easy to install. Way brighter than the stock puddle lamp and gives it that premium look. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PFZWJWY/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I blame @RoverThinker for this idea. :)

    Goodbye stock side steps!

    There I was wondering why they looked a little wavy on top. Looked underneath and they are rotted out and almost gone. Guess I should look under it more often.

    Do I wait to do the brakes or?

    2013 LR4 - 41k now. I bought this lovely beast with 24k miles on it and the brakes were a little chirpy then. It's been getting a little be more pronounced as of late and even chirps at highway speeds. There's no feeling of warped rotors or drop in response for stopping but the...

    I'm going to answer my own question...I think

    Have a 2013 LR4 HSE - 2nd owner, first time LR. Tend to take on my own mechanical work except for the really big stuff (engine rebuild). Currently has ~39k miles. Was tempted by a single owner 2016 LR4 HSE LUX HD with BlackPack and 76k miles. It's a great price but I think the only thing...

    Dang spam bots

    Do we need some sort of multifactor authentication to stop the madness?

    How crazy would it be...

    To vinyl wrap a new color on my LR? I have the super low mileage durable last of the V8s and it's black. I love the black but every time I see a white one I want that instead. I've never seen a vehicle that looks so good in white. There's a 16 on the local lot with 24k miles running at $46k...

    OEM Side Steps - Rust

    First true winter of having the '13 LR4. It came with the OEM steps (which I like regardless of what others think or feel) and I'm noticing a lot of rust lines appearing on the garage floor. I'm also seeing hints of rust near the plastic step edges. Is this normal or a cause for concern?

    New Software?

    Ran MY13 VIN into Topix and got this notification: I can't get into the content as I don't have access at that level...assuming this might be a trip to the dealer to get it done?

    Diagnostic Tool options/differences

    There appears to be more than one option out there for a proper diagnostic tool. There's the Hawkeye Diagnostic Tool by Bearhawk and then there's the IIDTool. Maybe there's a 3rd or 4th that I haven't seen. Does anyone have experience with both and recommend one over the other?

    Squealing brakes...

    I'm sure this has been covered in depth on some other thread but I can't find it. I'm at 34k miles on a MY13. The brakes have been "squealing" since the day I bought it with just over 25k miles on it. They do it at lower speeds at initial press of the pedal but if I push down harder it goes...

    Arm rest leather or cover

    There's a 1" slice in the side of my passenger arm rest. Does anybody know if there's a place to buy these or get replacements? I tried that leather repair stuff and it's crap. I might stitch it shut and call it good if I can't find an option to replace or get covers.

    Auto-wiper insanity

    My experience with the auto-wipers is mixed at best. Occasionally they'll run a swipe when there's no rain. Sometimes it'll be pouring rain and they don't turn on unless I flip it up to a faster speed. Other times they run great. Then other times they run wicked fast for about a minute and...
