I don't know if I am wrong but I think I have read somewhere that as from October build date, all cars will show turn-by-turn navigation arrows on the black and white TFT between speedo and revs, and that this info will be in addition to the navigation information displayed on the main TFT on the centre console.

Now, my car does not seem to have this feature and I wonder what the story is SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

2010 TDV8 Ultimate Edition, zermatt-ebony-grand lacquer, and all the goodies, plus Superchips Bluefin ECU performance upgrade, Gibson Performance exhaust tips

gone after only 7 months: MY10 TDV63.0 HSE, zermatt-ebony-anigree, Dynamic Response, Rear diff-lock, flappy paddles, premium leather, Sunroof, PTI, privacy glass, S/C design 5 Spoke Diamond Turned alloys

Roland,

LR have advised the UK network that they are planning to introduce this feature on FFRR (L322) at some point, however they have not discussed RRS or D4.

If I hear any news I'll let you know. As with most things like this there is a 50/50 chance that the car may be able to accept a software update (once/if it's introduced) to include this feature, so fingers crossed!

James

James,

Many thanks for the - as always - professional information

Let's hope we can get that feature in the RRS and D4 in the not too distant future. SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

I am a bit annoyed about this. The new Jags have it, it's just a software programme so should be standard. The TFT is in essence a waste in it's current form. Also not pleased that the reverse camera has rigid lines which provide no useful info unless you are reversing dead straight. The Jag XF was launched like this 2 years ago and now has reverse markings linked with steering input. Why not the new 10MY? 2010MY Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE

Thats what I thought Jonny. I'm not at the dealership at the moment and do not have a RRS on the drive, so hopefully other 2010 owners will confirm? I'm pretty certain the lines move with steering input.

With regard to Jaguars displaying the directions in the TFT..... I'm pretty certain too that it's not available on XF but 'may' be on the new XJ when it is launched.

I thought I read it somewhere:

There you are ! I knew I've read it somewhere before I have ordered my car.

What the is going on here? This is simply unacceptable and I wonder if there's something we can do about this? SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE BUG AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE THE WINDSHIELD

Where did that info come from as I've not seen anything from LR about Sept production?

I downloaded a document some time after the 2010 model was announced and which came from Land Rover. Unfortunately I can’t remember where I got the document, but I also waited a while before ordering because of theses statements and info from this document:



And this image later on in the document:
 2010 Sport Supercharged with all options apart from TV and Extended leather (wish I had the latter) (Previously 2007 RRS S/C)

The electric mirror switch on that picture on the right is very different to mine which is on the door so I'm not sure that is a production MY10. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Now that is very observant! (But still, that is what they promised. ) 2010 Sport Supercharged with all options apart from TV and Extended leather (wish I had the latter) (Previously 2007 RRS S/C)

I think one of the D4 lot said the reversing lines mentioned above only move if you have the surround camera system

I've just taken delivery of my MY10 car. I'm guessing it was pre-Sept build. I REALLY hope this is just a software upgrade that can be made to earlier cars.
