I have the reversing came so probably came with that.

Might stop me running over the wife i suppose.

Mine were a pain when I bought the vehicle, seemed to scream at me even when the wheely bin was meters away. Now none of them work as one was unplugged and removed for the single swing away. I still get an annoying scream when I put the thing in reverse... its telling me they are not working.. I bloody well know that!.. so do I weld a tab on the swing away and relocate the missing one, or do I find out how to permanently disable the "I'm telling you what you already know" siren?

I just press the button to turn the sensor sound off when I go in to reverse. I can probably live with that as I am not convinced they are worth it given the problems. The camera is much more useful.

I bought a tyre compressor and tracks from ARB and I asked them about the bull bar. Fast compressor by the way ... I have a 2014 HSE with front parking sensors. They said they could fit the front bar, no problem, after they went and checked.

They said previously, that they had tried to put new wiring for the parking sensors, and they had had some work no problems, but others were problematic.

So now, they say they have a kit which retains all the original Land Rover sensors and all the wiring. They said it is now reliable because they are using the Land Rover sensors etc.

But that the downside they said is that you cannot put the old bumper bar back on the vehicle ... they say they get into a part of the front of the car which eliminates putting back the normal bumper bar. I am not sure if that applies to just D4s with front sensors or to all 2014 D4s ...

I wish the ARB guys would get their act together. I was at an ARB during the week and asked and was told they did not have a bar available. Claimed there were issues with the lights and sensors. This is for 2014 D4.

Which ARB did you visit? I can refer them to them I guess.

Hi Richard, where is the magic button? i also have poverty pack no front sensors.

Those of us with the poverty pack don't get the magic button, it's only on the cars with front sensors also I think.

Actually very irritating for me, I regularly have a bike rack on the back so would love to stop the noise when reversing. Why does it have to be so loud!?

The button is on the front panel in the middle to the right of the hazard button. It has P on it.

I have the base model but do have a reversing camera and sensors so may be not the poverty pack.

I thought it was standard and so was wondering why people were have an issue with it when you can just push the button. Now I know.

I can post pics

I believe you only get the button to turn off the sensors if you have front sensors as well.

Here's a pick of it in the D4 console.
