Some questions about my D4

[djambalawa]

Hi folks - its a MY13 SE SDV6 - with no options. Just got a couple of questions if anyone can help..

1. I have got bluetooth working with my iphone - except for voice dialling. I do have a voice button on the steering wheel but it does nothing. Should I have voice dialling on my model/fitout? I get other stuff like my contacts on the dash etc and can dial that way. Also bluetooth music works ok. Just wondering if the button should be working or whether my base fitout doesn't have that feature - the manual isnt clear on what model gets what.
2. Reverse sensor - my D3 had a button to turn it off on the dash.. but I can't see any such thing on the D4. Painful when backing up in grass etc. Is there a button to temporarily shut it up somewhere like on the D3?
3. Would like to go GOE 18" rims - is there a market for factory rims and what are they worth if so? Went to the for sale section here but the template insisted on a price - but I dont know what they're worth. Selling them is necessary for me to afford the GOE ones

I have any My12 SE SDV6

My voice button....it just mutes sound on the stereo.

Reverse sensor button.....did not have a button to turn it off. Volume on stereo will turn sound down/off.

GOE rims only option...they look s**t hot and turn the best 4x4xfar into an even better machine.

I drive on factory tyres and rims, and swap over when I head bush. Don't think there is a market for the factory rims....not D4 drivers anyway.

1. Voice dialling does not use the phones contacts. you have to add numbers to the the cars contacts and then record their name against it. once you have done this you will be able to use voice dialling for any number you have added. Press the voice command button, wait for the beep, say " Phone dial name", car will respond "Phone dial name. Name please", say the name then confirm and away you go. Make sure you do the voice training so the car learns your accent. Chech the 'Voice Control' section:
TOPIx - LRL 10 02 59 131 - OWNER'S HANDBOOK 2013 (Issue 1)
PS not sure of differences between MY10 and 13

2. You only get the button to disable sensors if you have front sensors also.

3. Brett covered that

Don't you have to have the "say what you see" voice command for that to work? It comes with the HiIce and Nav. The SE in question has "no options".

Don't work on my MY12 SE. Followed topix as per your link (thanks) but no go on my SE. Must have been an optional extra.

Just mutes the sound.

seems you are right!

My last D4 (2010) did not have the nav and the voice button also didn't work, I tried all manner of enablements using my faultmate but it never did work. My 2011 DOES have nav, (all be it not so user friendly) and the voice button does work, but frankly your not missing out on much, I rarely use it and then it is to record a note or to find a petrol station in an unknown area. Most of the commands are to do with the sat nav, I think you can dictate a number to dial and vaguely remember reading about recording names for voice dialing, but all those get lost when altering your CCF using a faultmate so I just don't bother with it.

I haven't heard of the " say what you see" option, but I think LR are slooowly trying to catch up with the Koreans as far as ICE is concerned.

PS Love the car

Me either Ken. Just found out about it....

Discovery 4

...and you are right, they are slowly catching up but streets ahead of 2010. The interface is much nicer.

Thanks for all the info guys - hey also is there an option to fold the mirrors back whilst driving along? Like if on a narrow track or parking beside a wall like I do?

They do fold when I lock the car.
