Just got my LR2 today. The iPhone saw it right away, but the LR2 couldn't see the phone. The car is supposed to generate a pair code, and it doesn't. But, try it again, and when the iPhone shows Land Rover, click it, and enter 2121 as the pair code. In a moment, the name of your iPhone will appear on the dash. It reads missed / recent calls, and even pulls in your address book. You can cycle through recent calls from the steering wheel. |

Hi. I generally like my LR2 but we really dislike the lack of an intermittent wiper setting. There is an automatic setting that goes too fast and then too slow and is constantly changing (distracting). I hear others have complained about this function. Dealer says maybe Land Rover will issue a "fix" but I have my doubts. Also, be careful automatic setting is off going through carwash as I lost a wiper and almost a windshield when they went off during carwash! I would love a plain old fashioned intermittent setting, myself.

I totally agree regarding the wipers. I originally posted about the wipers shortly after getting my LR2 in October 07. I would love intermittent wiper on the front but what really bothers me is the lack of choice on the rear wiper. It is either on or off and the delay is 6 seconds. I complained to LR directly because to me that is a safety issue and I was told that there is no defective and that is they way they are designed so that is it. It seems like it is the smallest things that drive us the most crazy. I do think that a vehicle that is made for off roading should have more advanced front/rear wipers. On a positive note I am going on 6 months with my fully loaded LR2 and I love the car and have only very minor issues that were fixed immediately. The customer service at my dealership is excellent and I love having my car come back clean and shiny.

Consumers Union has a generally favorable short take on the LR2 this month. Other than interior quirks and fuel economy (18 mph is all they are getting in mixed mode driving) they seem to find ithe LR2 drives well (provided you are not in hurry) and its AWD works seamlessly. Their Full info appears online sometime in April. |
