strange that would happen as the new golf's have this feature...maybe its because its a range rover you have that problem there.. ... - .- -.

Please don't use main beams for DRL (even at a reduced %) as it's confusing to other road users - basically it's worse than having your lights off.

Be warned that if you use main beams at 60% in Yorkshire you get a lot of people pulling behind you and flashing their main beams trying to tell you that you're main beams are on. This is obviously solved by letting them overtake and then turning your main beams on properly, optionally (and depending on how agressive they have been) follow them with your main beams on for 20 miles or so

So you're the t**t i see driving around with all lights blazing.

No, not all lights, just reduced power main beams like a Golf, and was only for one journey yesterday before turning them off. Thanks for the lovely polite comment though

Martin, why is it confusing to other road users?

I presume because a main beam is aimed differently/higher than a low beam, so the even a less brighter beam will still be inconsiderate to other drivers/riders of motorcycles.

I accept that it may be dazzling if set too bright, but i'm not sure why it would confuse folk. The idea is to get the attention so they dont pull out in front of you. If that works then job done imo

Ive had my DRL's on 40% since the beta update without anyone flashing me to date

Craig, do you have the standard bulbs or something more stylish? I find mine on at 40% makes my car look like a 90's Volvo

Most drivers are as daft as a brush. I wouldn't want even the slightest chance of confusing anyone such that they pull out in front of me. Could see insurance kicking up a fuss too

Running on dip as DRL should be plenty.

At the moment I am driving with the headlights activated as DRLs. Looks more normal than the inner main beams being on (which are more orange in colour compared to the Xenons). I could change the bulbs but I think it looks more balanced using the xenons. Tom

I have activated speed related locking, is there an option on the processor for auto unlock? I know some cars unlock the doors when you remove the key from the ignition.

Just wondering as it is a little annoying to have to press the unlock button, or the door handle twice. Tom

Nope, one of my little annoyances too - it locks but doesn't unlock! Damned annoying as my BMW did this when you stopped the engine.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
