I think with an 06 software update you also need a newer map disk then it should work.

You need a minimum of a 2007 disc, to enable SNOTM

Two more minor things to add:

The silver air vent surrounds at each end of the dashboard, reflect really badly in the windows obscuring the view in the wing mirrors,
The wide tyres (275/40-20) are rubbish in the rain, especially if I hit any standing water!


What tyres do you have, Continentals I'll bet!

Mine were horrendous in rain from new, now I only put goodyears on and they are great in wet and last twice as long! So don't go changing wheel size for that

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Bonatti Grey

I have the latest disc and Flack tried the update twice but it still would not work. The software update takes ages but Flack did try. Not being able to use SNOTM is a right pain. 2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)

United Kingdom 2009 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

I was getting slight sick of the "suicide hesitation" when pulling away especially when you're on a busy roundabout so I decided to get a remap done.

I wanted something designed for the car rather than a plug in job but didn't have the time to actually take the car to a workshop. I found Green Tuning who had decent reviews and did a mobile service.

Anyway, had the remap done on Friday of last week and I am over the moon with it. Wasn't after huge power gains (did all of that in a previous life) and now the motor pulls like a train. I can put my foot down with almost instant response and confidence is fully restored!

glad it's not just me who's a little weirded out by this! It'll take a little getting used to I guess, I thought it was just a stiff throttle and it requires a little more "heavy foot" than my car...

Another one: having to manually change the clock at the beginning and end of summer time. Can't understand why a 21st century car with nearly 2 dozen ECUs (according to my IIDTool) is incapable of coping with something as simple as this. Can anyone tell me if there is a setting to enable/disable DST? I never found it in 2009 or 2013 RRS.

My central heating controller unit adjusts itself accordingly and it is older than the very first RRS ever built Rolling Eyes Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
