Any way to unlock the three zone configurable lighting? I really want to fine a way to turn off the foot-well lighting at night.

I was wondering this as well!

to reboot Pivi you need to be in (P) park - if in gear it will ignore you regardless how long you hold IIRC

Also I did the semi auto and then full auto CCF changes for it to appear. Not sure if it makes a difference.

I do think it's there. Mine is a MY22. Nothing weird or unusual about it.
I’m on travel for work this week, but will re-attempt this when I get home this coming weekend and report back. Thanks for the theories…No matter how terrible…lol.

Coding fun aside... I can't imagine owning this vehicle without access to the GAPIID!

Had another silly CEL yesterday I was able to remedy (control module for the MHEV system didn't boot up properly #becauselandrover) - was fine on restart but would have been a trip to the dealer to read and clear the code.

Thank you Gap Diagnostic!

I know. I feel the same. It's just an amazing little gadget that delivers $1000's of dollars worth of goodies and saves you so much time.

This weekend on the trail I needed a little lift. A few clicks on my phone and I have the car raised up to the max to get over a step and improve my approach angle. A few clicks later and I'm back running a 1" lift and a few hours later I'm back at stock for the trip back on the blacktop.

On trail I can have live values for my tire pressures in easy view whenever without having to keep the psi warning on the dash.

3.5 hour drive home and I'm enjoying the laziness that ACC confers.

Camping this weekend, I can access the trunk with my fob without the vehicle firing up its servers ready for lift off.




One other little bonus hat I only thought of this weekend was the absent self leveling feature with air suspension. For folks in a RTT or sleeping in the back. While not possible to vary the height left to right, you can change height independently front and back. Useful if you've not got things just right and you needed to raise up the front a bit. (I know you can use the button in the trunk for the rear but another option is no bad thing. )

Actually you can self-level the vehicle. I don't have the time to UL pics right now, but I just used this feature last night on (albeit on my old L322 travel vehicle).

-You first need to disable the air suspension by going into build mode into 'Service Test > CHCM>Build Mode' (CHCM = Chassis Control Module - in older vehicles the RLM (Ride Level Module) or even older simply EAS and Transport Mode).

- Then you choose the 'Test Valves' function in the same menu. You have the option of leaving either front or rear or all 4 corners linked/unlinked. If you go with all 4 unlinked you can compensate for some pretty hefty holes or angles and still get the car level. I use a level app on my phone on my center console lid which is parallel to my RTT in both axes.

We are camped out on a beach in Albania (as I write) and last night was probably the most extreme angle I have ever used this function on: the LR was on the bump stop and the RF completely extended. Funny that this topic should come up now :-p

We just spent a week off-roading and camping on the beaches and in the mountains of Albania. Beautiful country and unbelievably friendly people. First time here for me and I am coming back!

Ok, here are pics

Sorry, it was nearly dark. The iPhone is amazing in low light, but there are limits.

That is very cool. I’ve not heard that was doable before.

I’ve only heard folks bemoaning the absence of a self leveling feature in the vehicle.

how do you revert back to normal afterwards? Ie. Next morning when you want to drive off.

Any drawbacks or downsides to doing this? I suspect no but thought I’d ask.
