CD player? You mean cassette? The RR satnav screen on the BMW based models has a flip down screen and a cassette player behind. No joke. The only nav screen of that era/system with a CD was in the e46 and has an entirely different housing. Your radio/cd module will not work with the nav screen - I tried this. Making it work entails 3/4ofa satnav retrofit - wiring, screen, radio module. So you have the same choices as before: satnav retrofit, aftermarket lookalike, or stay as you are.

I'll do an update on satnav retrofit next week. Mine now has digital TV, reverse cam, usb audio/movie, phone, RSE, as well as all the standard satnav functions - basically all the functions a 2010 can have minus the cameras and touch-screen. I am working with a German company who are producing a module (modules) for much of this and will be visiting vendors in the UK early next week... So updates afterwards!

Looks like my RR hobby might be taking on a life of its own. Next I'll have to talk to Martin...

Ok so my multichanger would not work off of it ? And a standard mk3 screen would not just plug into what I have and work straight off ? Obviously without the navigation functions "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

the multichanger might show up - the radio module won't work, though.
