D3 Software Updates for pre MY07 cars update to MY08 spec
Hi All,
Thought I'd start a new thread with pictures to show the software updates that are of most interest to Pre MY07 D3/RRS Owners.
This should be familiar to you, its the Standard Dashboard

Clock On The Dashboard/Lights On indicator
After Clock On The Dash is ENABLED - LOOK a Clock you can see! (Why LR didnt do this in the first place I have no idea.....)
This is shown with the Lights switched OFF

This is shown with the lights switched ON so you can now tell if your lights are on or off.

And a close up. As you can see, the "Lights On" indicator is in fact the old (No longer used) Fuel Burning Heater indicator and is pale Red. I can also do this with ONLY the clock on the dash, so without the lights on indicator.

Three Flash Indicators
Three Flash Indicators can't really be shown (other than in a vid perhaps) but it is when you tap the indicator and the indicators then flash three times and self cancel. Makes it easy work on motorways etc for changing lanes without you having to remember to switch it off
4x4 Info Screen/Off Road Nav
(Pic to come) Standard on UK HSE Models, this enables you to see the 4x4 Info Display Screen which also enables the Off Road SatNav mode.
Gearbox Reset/Recalibration
This resets your adaptive gearbox back to factory values (it remembers how you drive) it will also recalibrate the Transfer box, combined together, it often results in a smoother drive and has been known to help resolve symptoms of some gearbox juddering. This is not always guaranteed as there can be many causes of this symptom, but this is certainly one of the cheaper options to try first.
Sat Nav On The Move
This is a long update (90 minutes) but is very very popular as it is incredibly frustrating to have to keep stopping to change your destination. This update allows you or your passenger to make any changes to your satnav destination whilst driving. Instead of seeing the greyed out screen, you will see this....

(Pic from RRS, but D3 the same)
PhoneBook over Blutooth Update
This updates your standard factory Fit D3/RRS Blutooth module to enable you to select your phonebook contacts from the screen of your radio display. It also fixes issues with iphone etc where you have to enter the 2121 code in each time you want to connect.
service reminder reset
This resets your service message. some independants are not able to reset your servcie indicator after they have changed oil etc. this can be reset for another year.
Read/Reset Fault Codes
Can also Read and reset All fault Codes and provide you with an e-mailed list of any that come up if needed. This could save you a more expensive trip to a dealers.
Another popular one is to purge and test the Fuel Burning Heater so that it makes sure it works ready for the winter and update other modules as needed.
If you would like any of these updates, then please feel free to PM or e-mail me. It helps if you can include your Mobile number, postcode, model year and what updates you would like to have done.

Silly question, can bluetooth telephone be enabled without the module being installed? Will you be going to Harrowgate?- if so would you have time to enable Satnav on the move while there?It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Would be worth you starting a new thread as being in here would severely limit the peeps looking in.

Re: D3 Software Updates for pre MY07 cars update to MY08 spe
Bodsy,
I couldn't PM you because I'm too new, but I'm interested in the Clock modification and the Sat Nav On The Move - Is this more than the 1791 code hack? Is it more permanent w/o having to do the 1791 thing everyday?
Looking forward to learning more. I have a NAS 2006 LR3 V8 4.4 HSE
