Hi guys, i am a new owner of a FREELANDER 2 2.2 Td4 e Sport LE 5dr and i want to check if i bought the correct car.

I have my car three weeks now and i am very satisfied with its performance. But I want to check something about its features.

I am wondering if this model (special edition) has a standard features specified from the factory or each country can have different features?

Does anyone knows the features of Cyprus FREELANDER 2 2.2 Td4 e Sport LE 5dr?

Hi,

Each Country can specify different features.

As an example my Dicscovery 2 XS bought in Cyprus was a higher specification than a Discovery 2 XS bought in the UK at the same time.

As far as I am aware Sport LE is not on sale in the UK.

Maybe for other models the features are different in each country. I am just asking only for the specific model (Freelander 2 2010 Sport Limited Edition).
The dealer here in Cyprus told me that the features of this model are standard from the factory and that I can’t put anything extra. My car does not have Bluetooth integration. As i found in the internet, in other countries this feature is standard for this special edition model.

Hi kyriako and welcome to the forum!

I ordered in the FL2 Sport LE in November from Pilakoutas dealership. As addons, I ordered it with privacy glass + front parking sensors as extras, and retrofitted OEM (Original) armrests using the custom armrest base (more details coming soon) and a GPS/Multimedia unit. For the GPS unit please see here http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic3974.html

p.s. Bluetooth integration was not an option as we have the Standard, non-MP3 playing units with our FL2 and no upgrade is applicable. This can be remedied by the GPS unit I mentioned earlier, as it provides bluetooth integration and works pretty well.

Feel free to ask any more questions, and enjoy the FL2

Hi Vibecy

Thanks a lot for the information. Now i am feeling much better that the features of my car, are those that the factory gives for Cyprus.
The specific GPS/Multimedia unit (Chele) is a solution that the salesman, at Pilakoutas dealership suggested me when was ordering my car. About four months now i am trying to figure out if this is a good product!

How satisfied you are with it?

Does Pilakoutas dealership cover this unit under the car’s warranty?

Never in a million years would a UK LR dealer recommend this unit and would probably even try and void your warranty for good measure, UK dealers will not condone any aftermarket modifications that aren't in the official accessories catalogue, even retro fitting L/R OEM mods is a no-no due to the can-bus system.

Kyriako,

After sorting out some problems I had with the unit initially, I am very very satisfied. It gives the car a whole new toy to play with

Im on holiday leave tomorrow Monday, I will come by the Dealership in the morning to get some pictures of the armrest base, so we can meet there if you want to have a look. I am sending you my telephone number via a private message now.

About the warranty - kyriakos,Junior,

This was one of my major concerns whether the GPS Unit voided the warranty or not. The salesman + technical officer at LandRover reassured me that they contacted LR UK and confirmed that it does not void the warranty, and I can also get the above statement in a written, official LR CY response as a warranty. So that pretty much covers me as it's official written statement.

Besides the unit connects via RCA AUX In to the Audio unit, the GPS System uses just one antenna receiver. It doesn't affect any other electronics whatsoever.

The same statement applies for the OEM Retrofit Armrest base.

I will try to post some videos/pictures of both the GPS Unit in operation and the Armrest base. I just need to find some time to do so.

Regards,
vibecy
