I am sure that I will be corrected if I am wrong.
Having said that, I would be delighted to receive a B4 in lieu of a D4 for no extra cost.

I have not seen one yet but I do hope that they don’t rely on the new unit to be the starter. It does make complete sense of course and i’m afraid that you are probably correct. When I see one at the dealer, will be sure to have a good poke around. A similar system is also about to, or is already fitted to JLR cars.
