Bear Grylls, skydiving,folding seats...? What the ? :no2:

You really have to wonder,what is that all about?

Technology for technologies sake,that will never get used.

Surely they could put some R&D into things that owners would like or want

What a stupid waste of tech, i can see that function lasting to the first service if you are lucky.

That is what Land Rover is all about though isn't it? They come out with all the great ideas but fail badly in execution and long term reliability.

Jesus. How useful is that. You can go on a first date and surreptitiously drop second and third row on the way from dinner back to the car and have Barry White playing when you open the door.

This is insane. Servo motors everywhere. Extra weight. As said tech for tech sake.

Mr LR will be along for a spray session soon and in this instance who could blame him.

New Deefer can't come soon enough.

Cheers

Or it may not.
Stop getting angry about things that might not happen :)

Technology for technology's sake hey?

There's a heck of a lot of people who just can't live without:

- A button on the steering wheel to change volume on a stereo 12" from their left hand.
- Can't lift a tailgate
- Can't operate a key In a lock
- need the car to adjust their seats for them when they open the door
- hate pressing a little button twice to open all the doors
- turn lights on at dusk
- put a park brake on
- plug in a phone
- dip headlights
- reverse a car without sensors

And it goes on and on....

So why not automate seating [emoji48]

I like using a push button key. I can easily go without the rest. ;) Cheers

The last one on the list should be mandatory on all vehicles,coupled with a camera.A camera by itself is not good enough,as some have unfortunately found out.

This technology is a life saver.

As for the rest I can do with out them,but maybe I am from the old school.:)

Each to their own.

My 2003 D2a HSE had cutting edge technology, a cassette player and a CD stacker under the driver's seat!! Half way through the vehicles service life and both are useless.

My 1997 Defender has a single DIN radio. Now fitted with a $120 radio that has Bluetooth to my phone/music/ GPS. Though I suppose the older Defender is actually a "newer" car, as it's only a quarter of the way through it's service life.

I doubt tomorrows phones will support the apps needed to change the seat position on the D5.

Considering people's refusal to accept lack of backwards compatibility in electronics it will be safe for a long long time.
