| Thanks! I found this video of a CARABC install and it doesn’t look too bad - https://youtu.be/muIlZJQJuPM?si=j7vRSVHdATGRwzRT - no worse than my Xtrons install in my FL2 a couple of years ago. 🤞 |

| Well, the unit I ordered from CARABC last Sunday arrived today, Saturday, just six days later. That’s really quite impressive. And no import taxes or charges. 👍 I hope the installation goes as sm ... |

That said, it worke ... |

| Many thanks for your feedback. In fact I’ve pulled the trigger on the one on Aliexpress from CARABC. At just over a hundred quid plus VAT it’s a quarter of the price you’d pay from a UK based ... |

Will explore more of the settings/use it more in the next week or so.
So how have you found things? My daughter has a 2013 FL2 and is very envious of the aftermarket CarPlay system I installed ... |

| Thank you, Mel, that's a good point - I’d forgotten that from when I had my own FL2. |

| My daughter's 2013 FL2 has developed a problem where the (auto) gear lever is very hard to get out of Park and also out of Drive (and possibly Reverse, too). Once on the road, the box makes no strange ... |

| Leaving aside whatever might be wrong with my daughter's gearbox and going back to the LR instructions, if the level is correct, and you add half a litre, then it should all run out. If only a few dro ... |

| As it happens, I had to get a front wheel bearing replaced a few weeks ago and it was an apparently simple task carried out by my local tyre shop/garage. Total cost was £150 plus VAT. |
