Easy question to answer:
The other LR3 had a full sized spare because it had the Heavy Duty Package. Pkg comes with a rear locking diff, and a full sized spare.

just fitted one of these rr blue tooth units to my 2006 sport took aprox half hour to fit and 3 hours to get the steering wheel off
the only bolts or screws on these motors to do this job are 4 on radio 2 on hazard lights surround 4 on aircon unit controls one on steerin wheel one behind air bag sign on the door pillar every thing else just pulls off wirings comonsence exept took me ten minutes to figerout that the blue wires were to take place on cigar lighter
would of been easy to take wheel off if ide of had a slim piece of steel to go through hole in the wheel sides with a grove in to hook on the springs an pull i use a fashioned coat hanger described on this forum but took me ages to hook it keeped bending as you have to pull quite hard <was like fishing the bleeder kept getting off>
all works fine

 

remove all the bible thumpers and texas is fantastic!

If you have to drive to CA regularly, like I do, then you need the kit which is cheaper than the tickets for driving while talking/texting and now even holding the phone in your hand.

 

Does anyone know if the bluetooth kits for the LR3 will sinc with an Apple Iphone 4s or 5? The factory set up looks nice, but pricey. Do any of you have a better alternative other than a bluetooth earpiece? Thanks Phil

 

I pair my 2006 LR3 with an iPhone 5.

Sometimes it acts weird. When I first connected it a couple months ago, it didn't seem to always want to reconnect automatically when I got in the car. But then sometimes it would reconnect even if I wasn't in the car, but I walked too close to it. That was annoying. I think that has to do with the radio having that feature where you can still turn it on for a certain number of minutes after you take the key out.

It seems to connect automatically most of the time now. I'm not sure what changed. Maybe I was doing something wrong or maybe it was an update on the iphone that fixed it.

Also the system is pretty old. I don't think it has an option to download your address book, you have to make a new one for the car. But it does seem a little better than my 2004 Acura TL was. I can dial from the phone address book and it automatically goes over to the LR3. My Acura was a pain and I had to issue a voice command to get the car to takeover the call.

 

I paired My iPhones in both my 2005 LR3 and 2010 LR4 .

 

I know with mine it did the same thing, it was slow at first but then it "Learned" and now it is seamless.
