Anyone on here have an 04 HSE?
It says in the owners manual you can lower the SLS with a handheld remote. Just wondering how well it works and how much it lowers? Thanks
It lowers 6", it will also lower if you open the door with the engine running and then raise back up once you shut the door.
It is to aid in loading the cargo area and hitching up a trailer.

Perhaps the info you seek can be found in this passage from the RAVE shop manual (free whole set below):
The remote handset is an accessory item which allows the SLS to be operated between normal ride height and bump
stop height to allow easier connection and disconnection of trailers. The remote handset is similar in appearance to
that of the remote door locking handset but does not have an integral key. A circular button with an arrow is used to
raise the SLS and an oval button with the 'Land Rover' logo is used to lower the SLS.
The remote handset control requires all doors to be closed and the ignition to be in position II, but the engine does
not need to be running.
Pressing the lower button will signal the SLABS ECU, via the RF receiver and the BCU, to energise the exhaust valve
and air control valves. The SLS will lower up to 60 mm (2.36 in) below normal ride height if the button is held. If the
button is released the SLS will stop at that point.
Pressing the raise button will signal the SLABS ECU, via the RF receiver and the BCU, to start the compressor and
energise the exhaust valve and air control valves. The SLS will raise to normal ride height if the button is held. If the
button is released the SLS will stop at that point.
When raising or lowering the SLS using the remote handset, the SLS warning lamp will flash and the audible warning
will sound when the system is operating. When the SLS is fully lowered the warning lamp will stay illuminated. The
SLS will reset to normal ride height if the vehicle speed exceeds 3 mph (5 km/h) for 10 seconds when the SLS is
lowered.stop height to allow easier connection and disconnection of trailers. The remote handset is similar in appearance to

This is the FOB you looking for. It does have to be programmed by a dealer or someone who has a Hawkeye.
