Hello All!
OK so as some of you have seen, we just got a 2013 LR4 HSE LUX, everything but HD and vision package. So after a week of ownership I have a few questions that I either can't find an answer to via this forum or I am still confused. I have already ordered the GAP tool so if that is required let me know.
1. Satellite radio display: My wife (this is her DD so we have to make all this work so she will keep it) wants to see the name of the song being played while listening to Sirius. I have read that pushing the rotary knob on the bottom right of the TFT twice will accomplish this. In practice, all this does is change the mode (which is what the button says and the knob itself is not pushable). What am I missing?
2. Fuel range: so as I have read, the range is pretty dismal for around town driving (which is mostly what she does). She is not thrilled about getting gas 2 times or more a week. I have looked at the aux tank options (frontrunner and long ranger). Price seems like it would be about $3000-$3500 to buy, ship, install. That is OK for us (she likes the car but doesn't like the range and if we keep it for a few years it will become my of road family camper so range will again be an issue). I have seen at least 2 members of this board with the extra tanks. Any issues, benefits, ease of use etc that you share with me? I know we will lose the spare tire and the plan would be for AAA service until a viable spare tire option is found. currently can not have a swing out tire carrier as it won't fit in the garage and allow for the tailgate to open (we back her car in, crazy driveway set up, this works best).
3. Split screen display: Can you see nav and audio at the same time? My wife had an X5 and liked this feature (see question 1 where she wants to know the song title).
That's it for now. So far I have already learned a ton from this site so thanks to everyone in advance.
