Hi,

I have been a long term D2/D3/D4 aficionado and have just ordered my first RRS. Due for delivery in October it a safe Corris grey with Ebony interior. Surround cameras, TV, ACC, Electric tower etc. Adaptive Xenons,HBA,BLISS,Heated Wheel, Homelink,Park Heat,PrivacyPanoramic roof. My question is this, I'm thinking of binning the remote park heat. If it were you, what option would you add instead?

Thanks for your time,

Best,

Steve

I'd keep the park heat, if it were me.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

The park heating is a great addition.
Lovely in the winter. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

I'd keep park heat and bin TV (assuming it's the front one) instead if it was my order. Would add load through rear seats, blind spot monitoring, additional washer bottle and twin sunvisors. All depends on your requirements though. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Used to be able to get remote timed climate activated with the parts for £250 or so for the D4s. Even if this can't be done now, I'll still leave it off and just turn the heated seats on! LOL I agree, it IS a great feature but at £1000 it's way too expensive. I got rid of the in control apps too! Dealer had added them to the order and even the enhanced one looks too expensive at £650. I have upgraded the seats to the Style 7 massage etc ones with the money saved from the park heat and Apps. I will be changing the car again in April next year so can fine tune the spec a little more then

i think adaptive cruise control is an addition? It's absolutely superb. I've had cruise control on cars for years and never used it. This one i use all the time. I drove to Scotland a few weeks ago. I switched it to 80mph around Maidenhead and scarcely touched the brake or accelerator again until Glasgow.

Park assist nobody is advising and they're quite right. Shouldn't have bothered.

Deployable side steps are extremely cool. I think you do need side steps of one type. However they can be done at a later date post delivery.

Bin the park assist although the approaching traffic warning in parallel park mode is useful, bin the park heat and add the heated steering wheel. My HSE Dynamic warms up in 3 miles and generates plenty of heat so the heated seats and steering wheel takes up that gap (why LR didn't fit the PTC heater from the Evoque mystifies me). I would add the Road Sign Recognition system though, I loved it on my last car as you know all the time what the speed limit is for the section of road that you are on, it's right there in the dash (in up to 3 signs are displayed and it works with the overhead variable speed limit signs too). If you really must load the car with bits that will never get their cost back then HUD is supposed to be a worthwhile addition. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
