2013 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Baltic Blue

Audio help required

Hi All

I am a luddite when it comes to 'new' audio so require some help if possible. I have just taken ownership of a 2004 Vogue with NO head unit, I waited until delivery before investigating what has been done previously, Basically the boot is completely empty of any satnav stuff and there a a load of aftermarket wires in there.

Question is what am I looking for to get a head unit

Thanks in advance

Rosco

Thanks Stan, I have sent Pete a PM, hopefully the lack of kit in the boot means it will be an easy plug and play! Seems strange that there is no head unit though, thats my main concern, the boot is full of wires which confuse me

Alistair, dont burst my bubble, having looked at the options, you have to get rid of the DSP amp and satnav etc, if you want an android, SO in my optimism I am hoping thats what I have, no reason to get rid of that stuff otherwise??

10 mins max - sounds like the most basic of basic jobs

Well I am not good at the most basic jobs, can you expand on that?

Unfortunately not - every FFRR job I’ve come across except one has been significantly more complicated, time consuming and expensive than I estimated

(the 1 being turbo hoses on a 3.6 TDV8 where I was convinced it would be a multi thousand pound bill)
