Board computer on my car 2007 i6 SE ? | |
Hi all,
I am new to Land Rover, so I just bought a Freelander 2, 3,2L petrol straight six. SE with 6speed automatic gearbox, from 2007.
So, amongst a lot of equipment, to my surprise, this one does not have an onboard computer that can tell you the range, consumption and a diversity of other info on the center display.
So, I don't have the "i" button on the left side stalk. (my car is a left hand drive).
I have a lot of things to find out, but one at a time
My question is this:
Can I install a correct stalk with the "i" button and eventually other bits, and make it work as factory, or is that impossible?
What should I do?
Kind regards,
Redfox.

Thank you for the replies, guys!
Nodge68: I think that is because your is a HSE equipment, while still being an early car. Mine is a 2007 mode, but was sold to a rich Greek man in September 2006, so also an early one. Maybe Land Rover decided over time, to add more equipment to the car, not only in facelift versions.
Ha ha They still teach that in school. I teach
I already do that. But there's some useful information on that trip computer information/board computer.
so, I think I need to buy a set of stalks. How do I get the software? Can I do it myself via the OBDII connector?
Is it purely software driven, or is there a "module" for that as well I would need to buy?
As far as wires goes, I noticed while scrubbing the torpedo plate just in front of the windscreen, that there are already wires and connectors in place for the heated front screen. Maybe there are similar provisions for the remaining of the car?
Very satisfied about the Freelander II so far. Good driving machine, and better than most off-roaders I've been in.
ps: I am not afraid of some wrenching, as I always do my motorcycle, my Corrado G60 and my Lotus Esprit myself.
Kind regards,
Redfox.
