Spec Confusion

I'm probably being dumb here, but I am confused over what electronic features come with each spec of car!

I have the TDV6 S Auto with Integrated Phone which gives me voice control of the phone but I don't seem to have voice control of the radio/cd player - is this correct? What spec would have this feature.

What spec has the Pre-Heater menu ? I don't think I've got it on my car.

Thanks for any help,



And just as an aside, and to help satisfy my key fetish :

The car has:
2 keys, each the size of a mobile phone, the roof rails have
4 keys, the roof box has
2 keys, the tow bar has another
2 keys, and the bike rack padlocks on with another
2 keys.

With my key ring now looking like a Bling Accessory on it's own I was wondering if there was any advice on making it bigger !!

I have an SE with PTI and can only control my phone too.

I believe the voice control only comes with the premium Sat Nav set up.

I found out too late to change. The cost of the upgrade would have been a small price to pay for the extra functionality.

Can't help but feel that perhaps LR are missing a trick here on selling the differences between the standard and premium packages. Alot seem to discover too late that they haven't got what they could have well afforded, if only they had known.

Simon,

Thanks for the reply. It strikes me as odd that I can control my phone but not the radio. Presumably LR could unlock the software that controls this?!

I also meant to ask about the Tyre Pressure Sensors - are they on all specs or just some?

Regards,

As far as I am aware, Tyre Pressure sensors never made it to final production so not even Top Spec have them.

My handbook has a couple of pictures, but certainly not on the car.

Tyre Pressure Sensors didn't make it to any models, only the handbook!

Only early S, SE & HSE with the settings menu had the pre-heat/pre-cool options that don't work properly, LR removed them from 06MY cars. You do (should) have a pre-heater but have no control over it

I think the tyre pressure sensors are on the LR3 for the States.

Not currently but I think they may be adding them Matt due to a legal requirement that's coming in. No doubt one of our US members will be able to confirm

Will they be proper pressure sensors or just revolution sensors?

You can buy aftermarket sensors that either fit onto the inside of the valve or strap around the rim inside the tyre.

But in many cars that offer tyre pressure sensors, the car simply monitors revolutions and if one wheel is doing something different, the sensor shows a pressure drop.
 Have a nice day!

I should hope they're a bit more sophisticated otherwise they'll be really confused after a spot of off-roading Laughing

I'm sure someone on this forum has already stated they have pressure sensors on their LR3.
