never has been was never meant to be and it isnt now  

Not as far as I know! You would also need the speedo pick-up and the electronic compass software (they are what keeps the system functioning when you drive through tunnels or under trees) for dead reckoning mode. Would cost you a fortune to retro fit. I know they are not as nice as an integrated set but why not get an Indigo or a navman and a bluetooth antenna so you can mount the display in the slot for the LR satnav and have the antenna on the rear window or a side glass to ensure good signal reception. I don't have the built in GPS either (mines an SE) and didn't want to pay £2k for the LR one and use the Indigo (which also has all the speed cameras on it and you can update it from the internet dead easy too.) They have postcode input or street input, and the standard system covers the whole of Europe. It's also useful if you have a 2nd car or need to use a rental car as it plugs into a cigarette lighter socket, and of course you can take it out when you buy another car! The latest Parrot hands free phone system is now available with an integrated GPS antenna facility too. If you have a smartphone that also has the tomtom system in it (or any other routing program) then this may be the way to go

thanks tim

i already have a rrs dvd computer and gps ariel for the rrs and possibly the factory touch screen soon not bothered about the speedo set up for tunnels etc the biggest question would be if landrover sell the retro fit wiring loom for all this ?  

You could try a car breakers and get the stuff off a write off................................ even if it came from a D3 because I think their system is the same as the RRS 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I also did not feel like paying £2000 + for a fitted sat nav, I have a Mio, which fits perfectely into the rrs sat nav space, also it does not need a aerial, So handy to take indoors and sort out your route or mileage in your own time, and pre plan the journey.Saying that , I find that I hardly ever use it now, only for finding distances
