Thread: D3 message centre info

It will be an SE or an HSE, HSE has electric seats with arm rests, higher spec stereo and rear aircon standard.
SE could come with leather and rear aircon. Sat Nav was an option for both.

Message centre could just be settings, do you have a manual? If so read it, if not try and download one.

Topix will tell you what model you have and should also provide a manual.

TOPIx - TOPIx

Thankyou for the reply "Gee" only have an owners manual, took a look at Topix, nice, my VIN worked fine, will dig deeper. Cheers

Barnsey - do you have steering wheel radio controls - the reason I ask is that if you do changing the settings in the message centre is straight forward - select settings via the button on the end indicator stalk and then using the radio up and down and side to side buttons you can scroll through the menu and change settings.

I am not familiar with the more basic settings where there are no steering wheel radio controls but I do know that people with this setup do have problems entering and using the message center.

Barnesy,
Do you have Captains chairs, Little arm rests that fold down from the main chair to the inside or above centre console? If you do it is an HSE, If no Captains chairs then an SE.

You may need to have the vehicle connected to a diagnostic machine as from memory you can't change language in the D3 message centre unless you have Nav.

Yes servicing the Auto is not cheap......

HTH

Yours sounds like the spec of mine. I've got a 2005 V8 SE, no SE badge on the back though, just says V8.

I've got cloth seats with sat nav but it does have the full message centre. All of my numbers are metric though, so I think you need it hooked up to something to reset it.

It had the base stereo in but but I've put my Alpine unit in it's place - a big improvement on sound and not yet touched the door speakers.

I've not got around to servicing my autobox yet, it's got 106,000 Km's on it though so will need doing this year.

Thanks guys for the info, and "marmoset" mate we have the same D3 that's great now I can ask you some questions if needs be. Mine has 196000 on the clock and obviously is showing some minor signs of use but still a great Landrover. I do have the volume controls
On the steering wheel but no amount of double pressing of the blinker stork well get me to the setting menu. I think I will get an OBD 2 reader off eBay so I can mess with its brain.
Also my reverse parking sensor doesn't work just has a flashing light in the button, I have put my ears to the sensor in the bumper and I can hear a clicking so I assume they are ok.
Cheers barnesy

Hey Barnesy, my D3 has some of the info in the message centre as metric and some as imperial. I don't have the steering wheel volume controls, but even my mechanic said he couldn't access the settings and reset them with his fancy reader... Don't know what's going on there. Might need to visit the dealership but I don't fancy paying for the reset so I'm putting up with miles to empty and liters per 100km of fuel used for now. Good luck with yours tho.. Might have more luck

Yes mate mine is the same, I have the steering wheel controls but still can't change it, and yeah doesn't really matter, I am going to get a reader and see if I can do it my self I will let you know if i have success.
