seriously? That's balls. What options are there? Dealers obviously don't know what they're talking about then...

Have you bought it with the lux pack already? So XR6 LPi does come with Lux pack then?

krzysiek · 22-11-2011, 01:55 PM

Ah nevermind, I see my answers now above :(

If there's no lux pack, plus the fact that they don't come with the standard 18's like the Petrol XR6 - that's enough to make me look at something else, possibly. Not going to get a G6 or G6E, I wanted the sportier look with the lux pack - sucks if they don't sell it like that.

Its because you cannot option 18 or 19 inch wheels on LPI, now the car already has the colour screen you really only need to option leather.

XR6 LPI has leather / camera option and thats about all now.

I'm really annoyed. Ford either need to rejig the luxury pack or pull the items out as individual options.

I don't care about the bigger wheels in the option pack, but could really use an integrated satnav. Even optioning the premium audio would have been good. But Ford says no with the LPI.

And then if you want the cab/chassis, you can't get the premium pack at all! So it's back to buying the styleside, taking the tray off and making the ute that Ford wont make for you.

Satnav/sound upgrade? I was told its part of a pack...granted it may be something that dealer is doing independently, but are they available?

I am a bit peeved about the luxury pack too. The current charriot is a G6 EGas with the 'tech pack' that includes the integrated reverse camera. I want a FGMk2, but I want the integrated camera and EcoLPI. It would seem the only way to get this is to go a G6E. I don't care about the wheels (or leather), but once you have had an integrated camera, you should not have to go back.

Yes, there is an optional camera, but it is a dealer fit - not integrated.

It seems all Ford need to do is take the bigger wheels out of the "Luxury Pack". Not sure when bigger wheels were a luxury item anyway...

Put the bigger wheels in a "Sports Pack", or maybe just make them a single choice option, same as satnav.

Is the camera not optional on ECO Lpi XR6??

I cant see it not being, with OHS the way it is you need as much protection as you can get.

I'm pretty sure the code sheets say the camera is optional on any sedan with a colour screen, which in turn in standard on everything XR/G6 and above and optional on XT..

I just checked the Ford website and confirmed that for FG MkII, the reverse camera is standard only on G6E & G6ET. It is optional on XR6 with luxury pack. The 'other' camera is a dealer fit option that seems to use a different rear view mirror.

I stand corrected. The website and codesheet both say that.
