[@AA-do5tz]

this is the Only video i could find to show removal of trim so i could replace my Shifter assembly 🙏🙏

[@L663]

glad it helped

[@maj6150]

Brilliant watching you guys and the level of detail is brilliant and this made me confident in buying my first RRS L494 and now my second one which is a Facelift. So thanks guys.

[@L663]

Great to hear!

[@WRCWRX]

Thank you for this. My gloss piano black trim is in need of a refurbishment & this will help with disassembly. Still waiting on those 18 up tail lamps with your resistor to get back in stock.

[@jonathanh3843]

You guys are awesome and the commentator is hilarious! Very enjoyable watch - now to give it a shot myself and hopefully not destroy the car 😅

[@L663]

May the force be with you young Jedi !

[@GiuliaBossi2403]

very nice

[@L663]

Thanks

It was popular Decades ago, in the USA, early 2000s. People will customize the interior with the Carbon fiber look. Even the hood or the Bonet. I think carbon fiber still holds its beauty and a style that will never go out of style.

Thanks Simon, but I needed this last weekend when I was installing an Apple CarPlay/Android Auto system to the existing screen. 😊 I couldn't work out how to get the hockey sticks out. Can the heater control panel be upgraded to newer version where you can press the temperature buttons to control heated seats? Also, can the cup holder be upgraded to newer version where you can also slide the cup holders forward to reveal a cubby hole underneath? (My car is an early 2014 L494 HSE)

[@paulb8916]

Id like the heated seated function of the newer type too I believe its a straight swap but only upt 2016 models as the communications in the car were updated so they wont work. This is a great vid always wondered how the dash strip came off! I wanted to replace the rubber mat under the heater controls for a wifi charging mat, so now I think i know how, good work Simon and team

[@andyganas]

Do you have a link where to find these parts? The only ones I have located are installed via 3m tape that’s on the back of each component.

[@ceejaya8367]

excellent video as always it really help me change my electronic brake switch cheers

[@paulgavarini9058]

Thank you so much. I have a RR Sport 2018 Autobiography. I am changing the climate control screen as it is badly scratched. I removed the rear climate panel, the front panel around the infotainment screen and the side chrome bars. I then removed 4 visible screws maintaining the climate control screen, however it does not come out. It barely moves. Any help would be great! I have pics but don't know if I can include them here.

[@richo.1m]

Where you buy this upgrade is available for the l405 convert to carbon fiber?

[@logan.stark777]

This looks nice!

[@L663]

thanks

[@cg94cg]

when are you going to attempt a proper LCI retrofit for the infotainment and centre dash w the climate control etc

[@KyleAndrews-dy3ko]

Loving your videos. I dont suppose youve come across where the sos battery is

[@mvirdi2333]

Hi 🙋‍♂️ very good 😌 and nice 👍 upgrade/ thanks 😊 for the another great 😌 video and good for us to learn / make it easy to upgrade without going to garage/dealer.you are doing a very good work . Thanks 🙏 🙏

[@tedvanderlinden]

Do you have a link the supplier of the carbon fiber kit you utilized? I need LHD kit as I’m in the US. Thanks!

[@LaurieBenjamin]

Any chance of getting the different screw sizes found within this console..Mines had a few missing and some fell deeper into to the abis ..

[@atbcars]

I would like to replace the two shiny/aluminium bits as shown in your picture to Carbon fibre ones. Where Could I find it please?

[@tieanlewis7534]

Thank you thank you I just installed a subwoofer Range Rover 2016

[@L663]

Glad I could help

[@jamesoliverrandall]

Do you know if you can add the facelift ambient lighting chrome centre console trims to pre facelift models?

[@robertlukas9286]

This is a fantastic video. However I have a 2019 RR Sport Autobiography and it has the upgraded climate control panel. I removed the 4 bolts but it is still attached at the top (underneath the display screen) and I'm stuck! I wanted to remove the climate control panel to retrieve a credit card and my driver's license that slid in the space between the climate control unit and the console's sliding cover for the cup holder. Your video shows 4 bolts holding the climate control and pulling that out accesses that space. Wish I could post pics.

[@gabrieleballarini8858]

heei where you buy this dore panels? thanks for your answar😄

[@hantrendsetter]

Do you know where dealerships install third party gps in range rovers

[@giuseppearmranrandone5726]

hi, I should connect an AUX cable to the drawer under the central armrest and a USB cable to the passenger side drawer; how do you advise me to get them to their destination?

[@globalste]

Was the fridge already in your RR or did you retrofit it? Keep looking at doing it but looks like you have to take the seats out to get at the underneath of the armrest and feels like too much effort!

[@L663]

The fridge was already fitted !

[@paulb8916]

Does the dash leather panel need to come off and is it just clipped in?

[@savvygav]

Question: if a drink was spilled in the cup holders and spilled forwards towards the console/heating, could that cause issues as my infotainment system stopped working, reverse camera too .. or is this a MOST bus issue?

[@L663]

I think this is more likely a MOST bus issue - did you watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGiYY6ucp92tgtk

[@savvygav]

@@L663 I'll check it out - I don't have any logo or images on the infotainment screen but I will check out the vid, thanks.

[@payoneer88]

For Central American countries it's easier if you also tell if this trim is for 2014-2017 RRS. Anyone know where to get these console trim nowadays?

[@daviesbikeable]

Hi Simon, Is it simmilar for the L405? I have had a brand new black trim for ages in the garage but didn't want to tackle it. Fed up of looking at scratches. Is there an L405 video?

[@L663]

Hi - i dont think we have done the L405 - i will try and get that done over the next couple of weeks.

[@daviesbikeable]

@@L663 Thanks Simon. Dont forget to get in touch about the winch mount for the L405 & L494 willing to come and support you with the installation and sponsor the video etc.

[@L663]

Try hand polishing it, comes up a treat

Looks good!

Hi Alan.. thanks

[@giuseppearmranrandone5726]

hi, I would like to ask you if removing the climate mask, the airbag plug is removed ?! I have the light on how can I turn it off?

[@L663]

Sometimes the light will reset if you disconnect and reconnect the battery. Otherwise you will need some diagnostics equipment to reset the light

[@giuseppearmranrandone5726]

@@L663 even if I think it is not possible, I am afraid I have forgotten to reconnect the plug; where am I going to look for it?

[@publicname515]

Do you sell this kit? How much?

[@Scott2341]

Guys, my driver's license was on the cup-holder cover and slid forward down the gullet of the car. Should I try to retrieve or just get a new license?

[@francisdvasquez1]

How can’t I buy for my 2020 Range Rover sports

[@sandrasidebotham4894]

Hi Brilliant filming I was wondering a bout the price of these parts.

[@L663]

There are some on our website www.L494.com

[@123huner]

Is it the same protocol on the facelift 2018 sport?

[@123huner]

For the cupholders and gear cover

[@harpreetnazran1063]

What's the red tag for underneath the cup holders?

[@davidmartin9097]

Emergency park brake release I think.

[@ohb1512]

Great video. When you took the two long silver pieces of trim out it would of been great to see you add the ambient lighting in there!

[@toddt0606]

Where is the link to this CF set? You all usually always include in the description. Oh and I do a shot every time Simon says "Tyler", I'm pretty drunk right now, haha/j/k.

[@BC-tw2uf]

Following this manipulation, I have "HDC unavailable system fault" and "handbrake fault" ... any ideas?

[@L663]

Hi - try turning the car on - off - lock it - do this 3 times it should clear the fault

[@BC-tw2uf]

@@L663 First of all, thank you for your quick help ... then, you just have to remember that the electronics work better when everything is plugged in ... I simply forgot to plug everything back in before reassembling :)
