i'm looking to buy a secondhand ffrr and was wondering whether the sat nav/tv option is worth the extra money or whether a after market chinese style sat nav /dvd unit can be fitted in place of a radio/cd player...

Personally I think anything that is retrofitted looks cheap and tatty compared to OE. Of course it can be done but I'm not cinvinced it will aid resale value when the time comes, I'd be put off by a car that had been messed with.

Sat Nav and TV options are std on the Vogue and you get so many more options that don't come on the lower spec SE and HSE cars which make it all worthwhile in my opinion, especially the seats.

If it were me I would look for a Vogue that had all of these as standard. Discovery 4 HSE

^^^^What he said ^^^^

Remember, the FFRR (well, from 2005 anyway, not sure about earlier ones) does not have a radio slot like other cars, it's all hidden away. So you can't fit an aftermarket radio with a screen that slides out.

If you are going to pay the kind of price a FFRR demands, I'd get the Vogue with the better seats, sat nav etc...
It can't be much more than the basic HSE spec.

Wouldn't be without the TV/DVD in mine ( with TV in motion ), not so sure about the Satnav system. Looks good and would make it a more desirable RR to the next owner  2005 Audi A8 W12

I've not used the Sat Nav in mine much as it's dated and you can't enter postcodes, what I did like when I have used it is how it interacts with the car, cutting the stereo out to give you instructions etc, the TV has come in quite handy a few times.
I would definatly get a Vogue, most people looking for them are put off by lower spec ones and there isn't that much price difference second hand.

thanks nappler, one advantage of a chinese after market sat nav like i have in my s-max is that the maps are in 3d and are up to date ......surely someone on the forum has fitted an after market unit?.

Doubt it....

When the L322 gets into 3rd and 4th ownership and sub £10K no doubt some one will butcher one up. Discovery 4 HSE

i have 3d maps on my FFRR standard landrover unit, theres to much to start messing around with after putting after market units in and by the time you get all the interface units it will cost as much V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

I like the sat nav in mine. Particularly when you can just say "Navigation - Go Home" and it'll start working out how to get you home from wherever you happen to be. The novelty of that has not worn off after 18 months of ownership.
