Hello LRD 5 owners. Has anyone figured out how to use the remote FOB to roll up/down the windows and open/close the sun roof? I had to run a hack on my Audi Q5 TDI using software by Carista through the ODB2 connector, in order to do that on the vehicle. I'm wondering if there is some way of doing the same thing with the Land Rover. Carista only gets the diagnostic codes for the Land Rover but does not support other software enhancements.

 

Yes. It's called global close. Whether it's enabled seems to vary by market

If you press and hold the lock button on the key fob after three seconds the windows (and sunroof) should start to close. Keep holding the lock button until all are fully closed. It only works if the doors are all shut

You can also do it with the key in your pocket in the keyless model. Similar action - press and hold the lock button on the drivers door handle. Keep holding a finger on the button. After 3s the windows and sunroof will close. Hold until all closed

On my 2018 USA model it works with the drivers door lock button but I don't think it works with the key fob (not sure - I always use the drivers door keyless option)

 

I have recently noticed that my seats will not fold or unfold via the LR In Control App on my phone unless the doors are locked.
If they are unlocked I get an error message (but it doesn't say why).
I don't recall the locked doors requirement previously so I don't know if it's something to do with In-Control updates or something the dealer did during a service visit.
Can anyone else do it with the latest In-Control version?

And I don't think I've ever gotten global open or close to work even when I entered that option in my dashboard options.

 

You are required to have the doors locked if folding the seats via the app for your phone.

Thanks BritCars. I can confirm that my US 2017 Disco HSE Diesel can close the windows using the door handles, but I can only use the fob to open windows.

 

Kind of strange. Both Global Open and Global Close are checked on the dash display.
I can global open with the key fob but only the 4 windows go down, sunroof does not open, but the rear glass roof shade opens.
I can global close with the key fob or driver's door button (touchless access), and the 4 windows go up, rear glass roof shade closes, front glass roof shade does not close, front sunroof does not close.
