XC90 MY13 Approach Lighting LED upgrades

Also had the low battery warning light come on before my France trip so another handy one was to see the battery voltage being displayed.

Could argue its a bit pricey for the luxury but when you think one option on a new car like power fold mirrors is similar in cost then it doesn't sound too bad after all.

Exactly, that's why I started the Group Buy for the CFE here too (see the sticky at the top of the XC90 sub forum). It adds useful / modern convenience features that I've had in other cars. The main thing I wanted (which this enables) are:
Fold mirrors on locking
Welcome home lights on unlock
Auto unlock doors with engine / ignition off

It does enable a lot more than the above. As Steve mentioned before I dread to think what I paid for the extended light pack and folding mirrors function on my previous 5 Series. Even then I had to get the dealer to program the auto fold function as it wasnt standard in the UK. They did do that Free of Charge as it was a brand new car thankfully!
