Couple issues - steering audio controls don't work and one shot global closing also does not work. Dealer says they haven't been activated before delivery ??? My question is - what does the red strap with plastic lever (under the double drink cup holders in centre console, where the handbrake wire loop release is), activate/deactivate ??

Thanks.

Welcome! There are many secrets in the Land Rover world, but since you are now part of the club (again) I can tell you that the red strap is the emergency manual release for the EDIT: Correction - Gear Selection NOT electronic park brake (in case it gets stuck with the park brake on).

And global closing isnt activated in AUS...

But you can edit the CCF if you get a Faultmate

Works on mine.....and at a greater distance than 11 metres.

Was not activated by dealer or me....it came with the car.

I Just hold lock or unlock button down for a few seconds....then all windows go up or down!

Brett.....

I have to push the lock button twice and hold on second push, to get my windows to all go up?

Congrats & Welcome.

Steering audio controls will either be plug not pushed home behind airbag or just a dodgy switch.

Global closing should work (13MY it's baaaaack) by, when locking & windows open, press the lock button & HOLD continuously until windows close.

Red strap is to release Gear selection not Park Brake.

Cheers.

Thanks! Original answer now corrected! (I guess they didn't let me know that secret after all. :P )
