Morning,

Am looking for a hybrid TV tuner for my recently aquired 2005 SC.

On ringing round the usual suspects of breakers, have been offered the "complete system" from a 2010 RR, inc Dual View screen, RSE, nav, hybrid TV, looms etc etc. for £1000.

Now, to be honest, I'm not interested, would be a riduculous this to do after only owning the car for 3 days, but it did get me thinking...

First of all, can the system be retrofitted?

Secondly, would anyone be interested in any parts of the system but not the TV tuner? Suspect a grand for everything is not a bad price, and if the other bits are of interest it may still be a route for me to get the tuner I want.

I think the systems are fundamentally different. Although I could be wrong, I thought there was a significant change in 2007/8? And then again in 2010?

The dual view/angle front screen is indeed awesome, and in reality quite simple in theory. It just has two inputs for the display signal. one for left one for right etc.

It would be very interesting to get one of these and have a good old poke around with it on a bench with a couple of video sources - however at 1K that's a lot of beans for something that may turn out to be fruitless.

Maybe he would take an offer? And then maybe you could get some cash back selling the bits you dont need on the bay? Check out the "Completed listings" to see what you might get for things.

they both use can bus but i think 2010 and on is 128 system bit as the 2006 is 64 bit, well its along them lines V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Good info. Thanks chaps.

I thought the FFRR after 2006MY infotainment system used a MOST network rather than a can bus, prior to 2006 it was ibus.

2005MY had the infotainment upgrade to the MOST network and will support the Hybrid TV tuner from a 2010MY. It is a slightly smaller box that will only fix in place with 2 screws rather than 4. One connector port is not used but it doesn't impair the use at all. You get free view and analogue channels and a now and next programme info bar on screen when the channel is changed or the current programme ends.

With regard to the complete system being retro fitted... Essentially there should be a problem assuming the complete system is provided including ALL wiring. The main issue you will encounter is the dash as not only are the hole the wrong shape and size but AFAIK the system has an interface with the instrument cluster. This is an LCD panel on the 2010 and would require some major electrical work to integrate successfully.

I am more than happy to be proven wrong with the need for the instrument cluster change. But £1000 for the lot is a very good price as the Dual View screen retails at over £2500!! !! 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

Erm, not entirely sure that even a full replacement of the whole system would work. IIRC up to 2010 the CAN bus uses 29 Bit extended addressing, but after 2010 it moved to 11 bit standard addressing. Unless someone like Colin from Blackbox knows of a magic voodoo box to make the translation then post 2010 infotainment won't work in a pre 2010 car.
