Awesome! Thank you for posting that! 👍👍

 

Curious to see what options are available for the customizable “diamond” button on the steering wheel.

 

Climate seats is one of the new ones!

 

Wow! Very nice!

Now if they could only get those to kick on during remote start… 🤞🤞

 

That would be super, they still have some time before winter hits so maybe for the next update. The - Revised start-up/shut-down experience: Welcome screen shown earlier and touchscreen remains on for longer after vehicle shutdown to allow settings to be changed at end of journey. This is a good thing and needed to be looked at, I'm glad they've attempted to listen to feedback. Haven't had a chance to retest this yet.

Edit: I had the vehicle off and the radio on yesterday, after a period of time a pop-up alert slid out from the left side of the screen that allowed me to keep things on. This behavior is far better now so I'm very happy LR listened to customer feedback and addressed it.

 

Although I hope the radio still turns off when you open the door to get out... ?

 

I updated yesterday. The radio still turns off when you open the door to get out (engine off).

One change I noticed this morning that I like. If you pressed the button on the passenger side to turn the media off, it used to be that when you next started the engine, the media would come back on, now it stays off across starts. I did not like that the radio would always come on when you started the engine.
