Hello from a first time defender owner.

First time Defender owner with a 2023 90 D250 SE Hardtop, with a few extras. First impressions are good so far, with a couple of small disappointments.. no ACC just the normal cruise control. Managed to disengage the hill hold, prefer a bit of creep. Got rid of most of the chimes, working on the last one, the speed limit warning, though I think I’ll be stuck with that one.

With a IIDTool you can enable ACC.

I think there’s now a way to set the car to remember your preference on the ADAS stuff too - i.e. stop it defaulting back to fully on each time you start it.

As above if you get yourself a gap IID you can do quite a lot

Thanks both. I haven’t looked into this in too much detail, though on first glance it looks like the switches for adjusting the distance are missing. I was told they would light up once activated ‘though they have no logo at all. I can see the other switch logos, lit or unlit. They are not visible at all where the switches should be.

I haven’t checked for a radar, though I’m assuming that there may be stuff not available or accessible on mine as it’s a commercial version. Though if there is anyone out there with a commercial 90 who knows differently I’m all ears

Have you managed to disable the "door open" bong?

My 90 commercial has it. I think the sensors are behind the Land Rover badge on the grill.

I’ve not consciously disabled it, though it’s not a bong amongst many I’ve identified yet
