Hi, and thanks for reply. No it does not say DVD so I take it it's probably worn out, old like me😆 |

if it doesn't say DVD then it's a MK3 unit I have one with latest update CD for £125 or you could go for an upgrade and find a MK4 unit around £200 ish without disk |

The big question is do you get the Land Rover logo on the screen when you've opened the door before you start the car? Cos if you've never seen this then the Nav unit in the boot isn't working Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Correct. No logo. So I assume it's the disc drive that's no good. Is there much difference on screen between the CD drive and the DVD drive.Cheers.

One more thing, previous owner a few weeks before I got the car had updated the Navigation with a later disc, but on examination it's definitely a copy/burnt disc, he did say it all was fine then about a week before I got it the Navigation dissappeard 🤔 |

There is probably nothing wrong with the disc, it's the Nav unit that's gone tits up... check for water in the bottom of the wells, especially the wheel well, you might need a new tailgate seal, and quick, before it takes out the stereo and other bits and becomes a 2 day mission to fix (android upgrade, although you would end up with a lot more for less money) Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Thanks for info. Had a good look. Not see any damp or water incres but there is a slight white furring on the top off some alloy components which is probably due to condensation 🤔What's your thoughts. And you say Android upgrade, have you a link to where I may check out what's involved and cost. Then I can decide what's best.☺Cheers.

^Only really an issue if your paying someone else to do the job.. As long as you are reasonably good with a soldering iron it's not a difficult job, just time consuming as half the bloody car is in the way Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Thanks for link etc but no way am I going to even attempt all that, the android systems look very good for the price, but why oh why is it so much work, surley there must be a plug and play solution , ie head unit swap , plug in and away you go, or am I away with the fairies on this😁. Tony |

Unfortunately like most things Range Rover the radio / nav system has been overcomplicated to the n'th degree, not helped by BMW.. There are only 2 fixes, repair / replace what's there or rip the lot out and fit something that actually works (android)... It doesn't have to be an Android system, there are simpler units on the market, it just depends on what you want it to do.. FYI I don't think they have quite got the DAB side of things quite right yet so possibly steer clear of them.
