    Sound sytem suddenly muffled and bassy

    Thanks Worked fine when it started this morning. Thanks for the hard reset info. I will keep in handy. Every now and then the nave touch screen stops responding and after a couple days everythings goes back to normal. The hard reset might be good for that

    Sound sytem suddenly muffled and bassy

    Anyone had the sound system go muffled and bassy? Stopped to get gas and when I started up again, nothing but muffled bass. Adjusted everything bass, treble, fader (no sound from rear), balance, subwoofer. Nothing changed it. Sounds the same for everything, CD, radio, satellite, even...

    18" Wheel For Lr3

    Time to replace tires on my 06 LR3. Looking at prices for 19" tires has made me think it might be worth it to try and find a set of 18" wheels. I live in Sacramento and could easily pick them up in Bay Area/Reno/Central Valley.

    19" Tire Advice

    I heard from a tire dealer today that Michelin is in the process of replacing Synchrones with Lattitudes. They have done this already with a lot of sizes and will be getting to the 255/55 R19 in a year or so. If that is the case and you buy 4 now, what happens when you puncture a sidewall two...

    19" Tire Advice

    Time to replace the tires on my 06 HSE. I have read alot of the threads and see the Michelin Synchrone gets good reviews, but they seem a little pricey. I'm fine with that if they perform better or will last longer, but I didn't find much in the way of reviews of Toyos or Pirellis. Anybody...

    Accelerator Pedal

    Only happens in the LR3. I just went out and measured it and sure enough it is 1/2 inch closer than the Wrangler - 2 v 2.5 - and 1/2 inch less recessed - 1.5 v 2. I have never had anything customized on a car before. A lot of people on this board make all kinds of changes to their rigs and...

    Accelerator Pedal

    Riding the brake may not be a good, but it beats idling into the car in front of you on a clogged freeway.

    Accelerator Pedal

    Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this - on a couple occasions over the past couple months when riding the break in traffic I have pushed the pedal only to rev the engine at the same time because the side of my foot caught the accelerator. The first time I chalked it up to oh well...

    Extended Warranties

    Current best offer is $3192 for 100K 72mo w/ $200 deductible. I'm putting a lot of miles on with my family about 400 miles away and frequent business trips. I'm kind of wondering if I should do it now or wait until closer to the end of the warranty. I don't mind spending a couple extra...

    Extended Warranties

    Anyone know the straight scoop on extended warranties? I have heard a couple different things and different prices from dealers. I am coming up on 20K and was told by one dealer that was a break point in price. Another said it doesn't matter as long as it's not past the original warranty -...

    Whine At 50 Mph

    I searched for threads on whines and couldn't find any mention of this problem. Thought I would see if it is something I should have the dealer check or just solve by turning up the tunes. At around 50 mph with the engine maintaining constant speed on level ground, I pick up a noticeable...

    Extended Warranty for 4 grand. Should I get?

    Considering Extended Warranty I am thinking about extending my warranty also. I tend to keep my cars a long time - only owned two in 22 years - Chevy S10 Blazer and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. After a tortured decision making process that went on for months, I landed in an 06 LR3 last December (my...

    Missing Hood Lights

    Which brings me back to my original point - does anyone know why what was seemingly standard equipment even the least expensive of cars is now no longer available on high-end, 06/07 SUVs?

    Missing Hood Lights

    I had to lift the hood of my wife's new Jeep Wrangler a couple nights ago and there was no hood light. Ordering the vehicle was was an option laden pain, so I figured maybe I just forgot to check something off. Last night I lifted the hood on my 07 LR3 HSE and, low and behold, no hood light...

    BRAKES v DOWNSHIFTING

    Have owned my 06 HSE for a couple months. Not a problem to date, knock on wood. I live on a hill and start every day going about a half mile down a moderate grade on a small road. I seemed to have had to replace my brake pads in my old Jeep more frequently than when I didn't live on a hill...

    Voice Recognition Problem

    It's Working Moneypenny and I are now on good terms. Got some advice which included directing your speech to the lower right dash (I now talk to the right of the steering column) and talking in a normal cadence at normal volume. Someone said if you talk to it like it's a dummy, it will act...

    Tire Pressure Monitors And Daytime Running Lights

    Am looking for some opinions on a couple things. I have read a lot about LR3 tire wear but nothing about tire pressure monitors. Has anyone put a system on their truck or are you just as well off using a digital gauge every time you gas up? Also, there is some pretty convincing data about...

    Voice Recognition Problem

    I'm out of town so I can't go out and review it, but it was pretty easy. Somewhere on one of the settings screens is a button for voice or language settings. It may be the main settings or it may be the Navigation settings. Once you get there you get a whole bunch of choices English male...

    Voice Recognition Problem

    The one I test drove had the Bond girl voice. The one I purchased was configured for a male voice and the first thing I did was change it. Drives my wife a little nuts but there are worse vices. Now if I could just get it to call me James..........

    Voice Recognition Problem

    Thanks. I've read about a lot of software update issue from others, although they tend to be from 05s and earlier 06s. Any thoughts about whether I'll be opening Pandora's box or are the updates pretty straighforward?

    Voice Recognition Problem

    I am a new owner of an 06 LR3 HSE. Have had it for a couple weeks and everything is running great (knock knock) except for the Voice Recognition. I used to work a little spotty, but now Moneypenny doesn't recognize a thing I say. Have had my wife try, a salesman try when I was picking up my...
