Having successfully tackled this on my wife's 2008 D3, including rear screens (write up over on disco3.co.uk) I can tell you that it wont be plug and play! The car will definately need recoding in order for the icons to appear on the touch screen and this cannot and will not be done by the dealer, to the best of my knowledge I am not aware that the only aftermarket "faultmate" option is available for a FFRR 2010MY yet!
Then there is the additional "agro" of requiring and sourcing the RSE module, cabling that cannot or will not be supplied by the dealers because they dont have part numbers, this even with the help of our friendly LR Parts Manager oh and also the small issue that the Alpine branded DVD Changer is not compatible and you will need to find the latest LR version, which believe it or not I did see one on eBay a couple of months ago
So in summary, I did the complete job on a 2008 D3 using reclaimed wiring looms from a 2007 RRS in a breakers yard together with various "used" componets from "The Bay" and many man hours, then had the D3 recoded to give the necessary menu icons and the wife, the kids and me are very happy. Now when I eventually change my 2003 FFRR for a 2010MY TDV8 Vogue SE will I fit the RSE system, NOT A CHANCE I will make sure the new car has the system factory fitted.
Based on the above I will leave you to work out whether its worth having a go or not
