All, I've been just sitting on the side of this forum for a while now, gathering info about the RRS. Ours was delivered a couple of weeks back and I just love it. Last week, I started on changing the audio system. Basically, I wasn't going to pay the huge amounts LR was going to charge to have a proper Sat Nav fitted together with the very expensive map updates.

Yes Tim, we finished up at 2230 last Friday night. I didn't want to rush so the facia panel replacement and the front camera will go in on 16/17 April. The head unit will also be positioned a bit further back in the dash. The mounts you can see to the left and right of the unit are only temporary.

Looking good Steve - all you need to do now is email this to LR - so they can improve their offerings next time

All, the facia around the AVN 6000 is now complete. I'm very happy with the shaping and colour matching. It's gotta come out again as the people who made it want to make a mould so that a number of these can be made.

Kaine, the sub fitted was only an 8" one so it was mounted on a spacer. While only small in size, it makes a huge difference. I don't have any photos, but some were taken so I'll ask for a copy. I'll post when I can. Importantly, the trim around the sub didn't have to be changed. For info, the amp used to power the sub is rated at 180 watts RMS into 4 ohms.

Thanks Steve - another question - do you have the model number of the Rainbow sub at all? Cheers |

Hi all.. and thanks Steve for kind words. BTW we've since done couple of Disco 3s with similar AVN head unit, and had to hand-make similar dash surrounds again, so taking a mould is high on agenda here now! If only a precise alloy/resin mould wasn't so expensive to do - not enough LR upgrade business to justify I suspect.

So.... once again it would appear LR have failed to provide the best set up in the RRS

Thanks Paul for the images of my vehicle and the info on the sub. Just let me known when you want to mould the facia. Hmmm, maybe at the same time I'll see you about some Rainbows for the doors.....
