Curious if anyone has this and what their opinion is of these. Seems like new new Range Rover is much higher, even when in access mode, so looking to install these.
Does anyone have deployable side steps?

We got the deployable steps . Fantastic option specially for wife and kids. Makes getting in and out a breeze. They are kind of noisy when they retract while inside the car .
On the Ram some times gets iced up and doesn't retract all the way. My caddy had an option to leave extended for the car wash. On the ram close the door while your stepping on the step and they stay extended for the car wash, on drivers side I roll the window down, open the door slightly and have the car wash guy step on the step. AMP also has a switch that leaves them out.

More noisy on new generation than old. We have L405 LWB and we barely hear them retract. With the new one - it almost sounds like they're broken. I was getting nervous but this post made me feel better!

I have the deployable steps on my L405 and would never buy an RR without them. Eight years of use and never had a problem with them. Great for those of us who are short, have/had small kids and now have older parents riding more often.
Had no issues with the deployable steps when we drove the RR for skiing trips, but we didn't live in an area with cold/ice/snow climate.

Just installed the running boards I ordered off of alibaba. Long tedious install but not hard at all. Only question I have is about roof access. I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the screen. At first I thought it was because it was aftermarket but I can’t find it in my sv with the oem deployables either. Anyone know where it is ?

Another interesting difference. My mother's L405 Side Steps feel flat. In mine, I feel like they are leaning more forward so you don't stand flat. It almost feels like your going to slide off.
Anyone feel this?

I live in Upper Michigan with a 2016 and the side steps continue to work perfectly bilaterally, and they salt the Devil out of the roads here. They haven't rusted and are very wide and stable. I'd recommend them to anyone and I use them all the time.
Oh, one other thing (that makes sense when you think about it) is that they don't come out on all of the terrain settings. I remember in the beginning I was worried that they were broken when they didn't come out, but I was on mud/ruts or something like that.
The only thing I do NOT like about them is that there's no way to make them stay deployed with the car in neutral and the doors closed. I'd like to be able to have the car wash blast them off, but can't figure out how to make them stay "out" short of deploying them and pulling the fuse, and I'm not about to go through that hassle.

There is a roof access mode but I can’t for the life of me find it anywhere in the settings.

If you change the terrain setting to mud ruts, they don't come out, at least. That's not really disabling them, though. I have been very happy with them. They really are stable and wide (at least in 2016, I haven't tried the new ones yet).
