2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Rimini Red

My new one

2013 freelander 2 td4 gs, only had it a fortnight and love it, excellent to drive, very quiet and pulls like a train, only thing i dont like is the radio , it states bluetooth but not for music, just phone calls, the other thing is what colour is it? i have searched door pillars, engine bays and cant find the paint code anywhere , other than that a great car

What stereo has it got? The version on the right?
I'm thinking it should have Bluetooth music streaming, my 2014 GS does.

Rims that are 18" and larger with lower profile tyres not befitting an off road vehicle.

Mine are 18" Range rover Evoque rims but they have larger tyres than the standard 235/65/18 at 26/60/18.

Unfortunately you cannot (easily) upgrade it. Its the single worst feature on the GS model, but it should be able to play music by Bluetooth. If your phone is paired, select 'Aux'and then 'Play' on your music platform of choice. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I wanted 17" but my car came with 18" poodle rims. At least they were not 19" extra poodle or worse... f...... poodle rims!

17" rims will take 245/70 which would be equally the best tyre for off-road & city potholed goat tracks. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

That worked a treat mate, i was looking for a bluetooth on tthe radio as i presumed aux was for the aux in so never tried it, thanks very much mate , its working fine, now can you tell me why when i test drove the car the cruise control worked a treat, never worked since i got it home
