    How to remove side grille vents?

    @TheVid1 , I think your method is best if you need to recycle the vents. I was taking mine out to get them painted and this is exactly what we did. The yank method works, but sometimes the plastic tabs break off. Not an issue if you are just swapping them out, but it is a risk if you plan on...

    I give up...

    Oh, and I can't charge my phone for more than 10 minutes with engine off, so I guess if you want to make toast, turn your rotisserie, etc... You have the engine running. :D:D

    roof rack

    That's a nice looking low profile rack. Thanks for sharing the pics (I came very close to ordering the same one). How is the road noise? I would think with the low profile and the wind faring, it's got to be pretty minimal.

    Touch-up kits?

    Yes, the pens. I forgot what he said about the clear coat pens. He either said you didn't need them, or that it was harder to to blend in. For your little knicks and stuff I think you'll be happy with just the paint, but let me know if you try the clear coat. It'll be the kind of thing only...

    How does it work?

    I was not aware of any digital record for car service other than what your mechanic may keep on hand. They may do a "carfax" look-back if specifically needed, but otherwise I wouldn't expect a new shop to know what the old shop did. It'd be nice thought! Yeah, 7500K is about right. Now, my...

    I give up...

    So utterly stupid. It's almost as stupid as Bear Grills taking the time to team skydive down to the waiting discovery on the beach, but then needing his cell phone to unfold the third row seating. Really? You can climb a f**king mountain but reaching for a seat button in the car... too much...

    Touch-up kits?

    At a detailers suggestion, I ordered a couple touch-up pens from "Automotive Touchup". I hit this website from my phone while he was banging a dent out of my LR4 and the pens came within the week. I was impressed that they nailed the Nara Bronze color pretty well. You have to shake it and you...

    Part Number for wood piece below NAV screen on 2010 LR4?

    Is there a factory part, for any trim versions, where that is a tray instead of a curved piece of wood trim? I miss that tray from my LR3. It was a nice place to rest a phone in a pinch...

    Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.

    @LR4inLA , it was covered by my extended warranty. Just note, they'll check several things before they commit to dropping the tank. Which is good. Nobody wants to get stuck with that bill, including you, if is isn't required. There are many self tests the system can do to make sure everything...

    REVIEW; Front Runner 3 Bar Roof Rack (Load Bar Kit)

    Have to post an update because this rack has been on my car for 5 months now and I'm still stoked about it. It's been an active summer and I feel like 3 times a week I'm putting a canoe, paddle board or kayak up there... or a combination of multiple. I've never had a 3 bar rack before. If is...

    LR4 Steering Sounds

    Thanks. I missed that when going back through but re-found the link to the TSB that was shared; https://app.box.com/s/7ndf1bh1kic8ozyeuli8zi2ym9lobzjb Good stuff. Increased the chances I can get it covered under warranty.

    LR4 Steering Sounds

    As this has been quiet for a while, can folks who flushed their Power Steering Fluid confirm that it got rid of the noise and the remedy lasted? I notice the noise on my 2013. I used to notice it on my 2005 also, but never thought much of it. Thanks!

    Android integrated with factory screen

    @spawnywhippet , thanks very much for the detail. This is the kind of honest detail I was hoping to read. I'd likely agree with your conclusion, but I don't think I would be as patient with the company after going through the install. I hope you figure out a simple update path for the...

    Voltage display?

    Is there a tech code to get it to come up at all on the LR4? (2013) On my LR3 we could get into a maintenance screen which would display all kinds of stuff I never used.

    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    This came up in an earlier discussion and folks thought that the design for the D5 started while LR was owned by Ford. That was the reason for the strong influence between this and the Explorer, but Ford was just much quicker getting designs to market than LR is. ? That's great input...

    BT Hack for Pre-2013 LR4's

    That dongle is pretty nice. I like that it's just one thing to plug in and I'm guessing it's hidden under the center console. Pretty slick. If that doesn't work for some people, I used the item below in my LR3 and had no issues with it. I was able to mount the knob on the lower center console...

    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    I love that my LR is so easy to find in parking lots. My roof and rack always pop up against the surrounding vehicles.

    Android integrated with factory screen

    I'm going to step out of the thread after this because it's turning into more of an argument, which was never the intent, and this forum is better than that. However, you keep bringing up cost, and I don't think that is an issue for anyone looking at this functionality. It is custom niche...

    Android integrated with factory screen

    That's still pretty cryptic. If it works as advertised and is supported by the manufacturer, a lot of people would buy it. This very much sits in the "too good to be true" web promotion where we are never shown the full picture. Share some videos of you using it in a few difference use case...

    Android integrated with factory screen

    Judging by the lack of responses from forum members who have actually installed this thing, I'm guessing it's not working out well for folks who have bought it. If this really did offer easy access to the functionality promised, there'd be a lot of people jumping on this thing. My $.02 is that...

    Windshield

    Cool. What is the variability adjustment control when you turn off the sensing? That said, I was extremely happy with the sensing on my LR3. 95% of the time I just left the control there and was amazed how accurate it would brush off fog, dew, sprinkles, and increase speed as needed. The only...

    Windshield

    Okay, I have been putting off calling CarMax on this because I hate warranty discussions, but it's time to schedule a visit. Are there any TSBs or other documentation I can bring with me to note that non-OEM glass impacts the rain sensor? It seems like common knowledge that without Pilkington...

    My LR4 next to a new Discovery...

    Thanks. That's a good white vs. white comparison. I think they both look good from the front, but the LR4 rules the booty shot. That D5 has the ass-end of a mini-van. Boring.

    Plastic plug broke roof-rail installation

    In case anyone finds this thread in the future, before doing a rack install, I put up a thread on how to get the plugs out without breaking any; How To remove LR3/LR4 Plastic Caps securing Roof ditch molding This won't help you once you've already broken some off, but hopefully prevents a few...
