Main thing people have to know when running a wire across an A pillar is to make sure you are not crossing over an airbag and possibly impeding its deployment path when needed. If you know what you are doing and how to properly do it, I would pull the A pillar cover to be sure. It's not that hard and then you know.

I use to have a Nissan Pathfinder years ago with a swinging tire rack mount and I wasn't comfortable putting too much weight on it for bikes etc. this is one of the reasons I went with an LR Discovery w/tow hitch instead of getting the new Defender.

I’m guessing that strap loops around your downtube(s) to keep the bikes from "flying" (not off, but bending outwards and upwards). I have a Thule carrier and wondered why they included the strap. First time I hooked it up to the back of my car w/o the strap and started driving on the freeway, I saw why I needed it. How you enjoying the Defender? I was out pricing one yesterday after my bike ride.

The usual remedy for these types of issues is to press and hold the infotainment on/off button for 10-15s, which causes it to reboot. Failing that, disconnect the battery for about 30-45 mins. Is your battery voltage okay? I keep mine on a Ctek charger if I'm only doing short drives or leaving it for a while.

@sphcars3374 жыл бұрын
Thule, Yakima, & Inno both make fantastic systems for trailer hitch bike carriers... I would recommend any of those. With the Defender though, you'll need to purchase a trailer hitch extender, either a 7" or 8", so that the post can clear the spare tire. It will add over a foot to the car's length though, so bear that in mind.
