Hi all,

well I managed to get a intravee II , a Alpine Changer 6 disc MP3, An Alpine Ipod 420i, a resler USB interface and already have a DVD 6 disc changer.

Striped out the original working cd changer and modded the glove box to allow multi Ai-Net leads to enter and found I had the fun of wiring up for the intravee II as I had the 10 pin plug on my range rover!.

see photo's of the removed change and wiring.

hi, i thought when you add the intravee 2 you lose the cd player, you have got the mp3 cd player, i would like to know what the manufacture date, should be after may 05..if you have the bm54 radio you should get artist and track name up on your display when playing a cd...where do you intend to mount your ipod

Hi ,

my car was a late 04 build, I Have already sold the changer and shipped it, I have got the intravee II and the intravee 'switch' so I can now have up to 5 items added,

1. Alpine S634 6 Disc cd/Mp3 changer

2 Alpine 420i ipod unit (mounted in left footwell behind main wiring loom at bulkhead with foam packing, ipod cable run to glove box), deciding which ipod to purchase and will get cradle to suit.

3 Alpine S680P dvd/mp3/cd 6 disc changer in boot at left rear with video out through the Aux in connection, also going to try and use the Aux 2 connection with a earth trigger on the dash to get direct changeover to video feed from the dvd unit whilst the intravee will provide crystal sound quality via the Ai-Net system.

4 may get another Alpine boot 12 disc changer

5 spare at the moment

additionally I have added a ibus connection in the glove box for my usb resler navcoder connection, so I can then access the control systems of the car.

I got the full build spec when my car was ordered from Land rover, the contact stated that although its listed as a Vogue , bar the rear screens(I will find your car and releave you of them!!!) that are not fitted, it was max'ed out on the spec upgrade, all autobiography wood, parchement piped leather seats front and rear heated, tinting mirrors and interior mirror, front rear parking etc,, etc,,etc.

He said that he was suprised the guy had not just ordered a autobiography, but it was a bulk order for a limo company for executive travel of about 10 cars apparently so they probably got a better discount!, then a director had it and now me.

done same upgraded to NAv mk4, trying to get my hands on a digital tv module!!!, came with the bluetooth in the boot, BM54 radio thankfully though,

best thing recently I did was the knuckle bushes complete with bolts, amazing diffrence in the car.

what was the sympton of worn knuckles, did you do them your self,..........what was the date on the changer.

squeaks from the suspension and just started to get slight knock from driverside under acceleration, all were well shot , but caught before they colapsed , this is when they really do not want to come out and you could end up with a bill for a lower arms.

see above I have already shipped the original changer so cannot tell you the serial / ate etc.

I got it from a guy who had it in a BMW with sounggate adapter doing the same job, so fitted straight in, its working with full info, did not even both to get the serial, wait till my short Ai-Net lead turns up , hopefully tommorrow and then the intravee can tell me it serial by interigation I believe.....

thats the advantage of the intravee Switch unit

Right this is the sequence of change,

1 remove existing cd changer to allow Intravee to connect on the CD wiring as the unit is designed to use this input.

2. carry out wiring modification to give you required ibus 3 pin and audio 6 pin plugs.

3. install MP3 / CD alpine S634 unit via the Ai-net connection on one of the inputs on the Intravee switch unit.(3 inputs available)

4. Connect via the switch Ai-Net output connection to the Ai-Net input connection on the Intravee, connect the new ibus 3 pin and audio 6 pin plugs.

5. switch on the car and select cd mode, the intravee powers up and has a huge menu for its use, the manual has 64 pages and can even programme keys on the head unit or steering wheel to do several functions.

6. With the power all off, Add a alpine 420i ipod interface onto another switch Ai-Net connection, then when you go back in the intravee now sees a choice of source of information and you can simple select as you would between them, like cd radio tape.......


7. run all leads to allow eaisy access for connections and firmware upgrade of the intravee,

nice one mate, i am upto speed now...on the intravees menu,if you have the alpine dvd player connected via the Ai-net connector can you control it from the head unit at the front. does the switch unit come with the intravee or is it a 2nd unit you would have to buy... V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Its a second unit , almost like an expansion Hub , but the intravee controls it,

scoll down on the website to read more on it,

I am still setting up the DVD currently and have not got it operational yet, did a bit too much last night with the car interior lights on and oops!! killed my batttery!!!!,

so the beast is on charge, it doesn't take long with at last count 12 interior lights to drain your juice, and that doesn't allow for the entertainment system on full pelt either!!.
