well, high price i agree, but its not just for the nav, bluetooth, upgaded alpine system as I'm sure you know.
I had a tomtom unit, but only updates were software maps mostly. nothing NEW and exciting.

anyone having any issues with the nav/stereo?
 
I am - this week each time I start the car, it starts with the FM, when I had shut it down I was playing CD or aux(ipod) input. Or during driving it just all the sudden decided to switch over to the FM from CD or Aux.
 
today, the nav showed no maps on the way to run an errand. One the way back, the nav worked, but the no sound at all would come from the stereo, CD, ipod - during a light I even shut the car off, but it didn't help.
 
On the way home, again it stared with the FM when I was playing CD, and it flipped over to FM when I had the ipod playing (nav worked ok)after about 10 minutes of driving.
 
its getting old quick, very quick. I surely expected more from a 3500 system, my Ridgeline never had any stereo issues well no issues to think of.
 
I know, don't compare the 2. Still, I hope it either corrected it self or I guess the dealer here in Germany will have to start tinkering. Bad side is- they are 45 minutes away.
 
Oh, on the way to work, the auto headlights (xenon) stayed on the whole time, with the nice bright sun shining - some electrical bug i got going on
 
4 weeks and 1200 miles.
 
ok, thanks for listening

There are some known issues with the Radio.
 
I've had it so that the radio was turned off when I turned off the vehicle, and when I restarted the vehicle several hours later, the radio wouldn't come back on.. Had to pull over turn the car off then restart, and it was fine.
 
I was told by the dealership that they had a software patch for it, and it didn't re-occur.
 
As for the headlights, that could be a software thing as well. Here in Canada, our particular zone has it so the headlights are on all the time too - they call them "daytime running lights"

Only have this LR2 for two weeks and the same issue happened twice. Nav and Sound system shut off while driving. Will take it back for service soon.

Hey Stonefoxx-
 
Was reading your posts...
 
I just left the Manhattan LR dealership and their numbers seem high to me.
 
I would greatly appreciate if you could answer a few questions for me:
 
1. How is the car working out for you? It seems as though you have not posted in a few months, have you worked out all the kinks?
 
2. What do you like about the car and what do you dislike about it?
 
3. When you stated you got the nav package did you mean the technology package?
 
4. Which dealership did you end up leasing from?
 
5. What were your final lease numbers, mi/yr, due at signing, lease price, money factor and residual value
 
Thank you very much for your time.
 
--Zack

Unlock Navigation System in LR2 by danielwollmann

Hello,
 
Does anybody knows how to unlock the navigation system in the LR2? I use it most with my wife and is pretty bad having to pull over the car everytime I need to add a new destination.
 
I know that in BMWs, Lexus and other brands there is a way to unlock it through the service menu.

I've entered the address in our Range Rover's nav system while driving. It is impossible to keep your eyes on the road and set the navigation at the same time. We've also tried it with me driving and my hubby setting the nav, which is just as distracting as if I were doing it myself.
 
My advice? With all the problems on the road - people yakking on their cells and not paying attention, women and men paying more attention to their children in the back seat than driving, and just plain driver-stupidity - it is far better to have to pull over than to have to explain to a police officer why you just killed another driver - "I'm sorry sir, I was trying to input the address to Arby's!"
