Posted: Fri May 24 2013 3:07pm (GMT 1)

Hi all,

I've been reading numerous posts about installing various items but none seem to answer my next question. I'd like to install the standard touch screen in place of my cubby hole. I have the 6 disc IHU and Harmon Kardon. The only reasaon i want the screen is for dvd player input, reverse camera and 4x4 info. My question is what loom i need to integrate a touchscreen into my existing system?

Many Thanks

In Car Electronics (D3) • Blackvue Front & Rear - Questions

I have limited sight in my left eye, and am contemplating a rear view camera, but have moved on to cameras front & rear!

I have decided on Blackvues front & rear - both hard wired, but have some questions.

I could buy a GVIF Interface at £240 less discount from Ian - HIDS4U. An elegant solution, but an expensive interface to use only for a rear view camera.

In the alternative I am thinking of installing a BV500 at the back and...

In Car Electronics (D3) • Radio changes input by itself

Subject: Radio changes input by itself
Posted: Fri May 24 2013 3:07am (GMT 1)

I've had my 05 HSE V8 for a couple of weeks, the only niggle is that the audio source changes by itself every so often (15 mins or so)

I initially thought it only went from cd to radio, but I've recently fitted rear DVDs with a feed through the aux input and it went from aux to radio once. It always seems to default to radio.

Anyone seen this before?

I am fitting a Roadhawk HD to my D3 HSE (2005).

There are two wiring in options for power.
1. Indirect via so called ignition switch (on a diesel).

2. Direct non switched. System has protection against flattening battery.

In either case which would be a good point to connect to?
Although it has its own fuse I would prefer to connect via an existing fuse.

Hi, had my 2005 HSE V8 for a couple of weeks, decided it was time to get the kids some sort of screenage in the back. Bought a supposedly new Rosen A7 (ceiling-mount) off ebay; while waiting for it to arrive I had a look at the wiring above the dome lights and could see no switched live, so was wondering whether to just put a switch on the unit rather than feed cables down pillars etc (bit scared of doing that kind of thing..)

Hi I know this has been covered to death but the search brings up quite a bit of old info. I was edging towards the blackvue because it seems popular on here but the googled reviews seem to suggest there are reliability issues with them ( overheating etc). A couple of alternatives that keep cropping up are Finevu and ITronics which have decent reviews.

Would like to get something around the £100 mark but I think I might need to be upping that to £150.

Hi! I've got the 2005 LR3 HSE with a 6 disc changer. It used to work fine,but now it started giving me "Disc Read Error" errors every time I try to play something. I can hear that it spins the CD up and tries to do something(I can hear the laser head moving), and the changer itself works. I've been to the official Land Rover garage in Newcastle, but they said that from their perspective, they can only change the entire radio unit(for a whooping 650 pounds). Well, is there anything...

Hi all,

so... I have an 'old' HTC HD2 as I switched to iPhone some months ago.
It has a nice 4.3" display and runs on windows whatever (6.5 I believe).

I'm looking for a use for this thing in the car. I have a car charger for it so power is no problem. But what to do with it... it doesn't have much memory so audio player is not really an option.

The car has navigation so that is not really needed.
