Pivi Pro Style - Range Rover World

I've tried the search and can't find much/anything. As I am keeping my existing RR I am thinking of pimping my ride a bit and pulling the trigger on one of these from Land Rover World, has anyone got this system - if so it would be really helpful to get your opinion before I splash out £2k Geoff

2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

A few have installed a different system for a lot less. I was looking into the RRworld one the other day too. But it seemed a Lot of money similar systems are available for less, but you do get that point of contact and fitting…..

I was actually just searching to see if I could find an Apple car play adapter for my 2016 it appears they do exist, for about £550. Thos would probably give me the functionality I’m after without changing the look of the car.

A quick google pulled this one up…… can’t tell but I’d bet it comes from china… a quick hunt round their website and they are based in Dawlish and they are uk designed products……

I like the idea of the big screen but I think it might trigger some sort of ocd need to put the car back to stock….. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Didn't make myself clear as I've not yet risen to the height of the L460. Pivi Pro Style is the actual description https://rangeroverworld.co.uk/shop/ols/pro...-2013-2016 - I could just spend £2k save £100k and keep the car I like. (Dare I say it, I don't actually like the L460 ) I know I could get it cheaper but my DIY days are over (if they ever began). As I only really want Waze or similar maybe UAD is the way to go and as NMJ says keep the "stock look" and save a few quid in the process. I'll also get to keep my dual view screen, which I often demonstrate but never use in anger. Geoff

I’ve emailed UAD to ask about availability and to check compatibility with the 2016 screen. It’s bigger than the 2013 by a little bit in width, and to t seem to have put it on a 2013 as a demonstrator I’m assuming it will fit ok as they are both Bosch systems AFAIK.

I like the idea of it being wireless car play too.

I’ve also asked for a set of installation instructions to see how easy it is before I order one. Seems like it could be the solution I’m after I think, so long as it’s actually plug and play and doesn’t have any wires hanging out.

I thought about going all blingy with the big screen and lower screen/ac controls. But I like it how it looks now.

Interestingly they also do a version to go in the 322 ……. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I've got the RRW Pivi style screen in my SVA, and while I wouldn't recommend RRW for reasons I don't want to go into, the system has been faultless and I wouldn't be without it.

I do believe 'Charles' who runs RRW has a good back channel to the manufacturer and software developer and hence his offering is more stable than similar systems - and hence the price lift justification.

2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

Just my 2p on the pivi pro screen...

I had a Range Rover World one fitted to mine but found too many problems with it...

This is a view of it...

Click image to enlarge

Issues I found...

1. No matter what others say I find that the reduction of air hitting you from the partially obscured upper vents is too much to live with...

2. If you have a touch screen heater panel you cannot see the hazard warning switch as it is hidden under the new screen, this is also an MOT fail if spotted by the examiner..

3. The programmed seat massage feature cannot be worked by the new system, there just isn't the option when you return to the "original" system..

4. If you want spoken route directions you have to pair your phone and use the Aux input on the original system to get directions from which ever CarPlay sat nav app you use, this means if you want the directions spoken to you, you have to use another app in CarPlay to play music. You can't listen to the radio, etc while navigating. This isn't actually a problem for me as I listen to music from my iPhone or a wifi radio app but could be an issue for others.

5. You lose the CD, DVD slot..

6. In lots of settings gained through the link to the original system it gets the passenger and driver confused and no matter how much playing by myself and RRW's "specialist" this could not be sorted, again, the massage seats fell into the category, you could only turn them on from the screen, no programming, and if you wanted the drivers on you had to switch on the passenger side...

7. I found a couple of other minor issues and was always told by RRW that a software update was on it's way to fix these issues "this week" which turned into months but never came....

8. But the biggest problem with the system is the screen itself, for me it was always completely covered in reflections, it sits so far in front of the dash every part of it was full of reflections, if I wanted to see the screen I was always moving my head around to try to get the part of the screen I wanted to see, clear and readable. This, to me, was the killer, it was just dangerous having to constantly move your head to see the screen, if the sun caught it then it was worse than the reflection from the silver surround to the gear selector.....

The picture above took a lot of sorting to get an angle where there was only a small reflection, the pivi pro screen usually looks like the HVAC panel in the next picture, the whole screen covered in reflection.

Luckily I was able to return to the system mine had when I bought it which is the smaller RRW unit, this gets no reflections and the software is more stable, the Aux/sat nav directions issue is still present but all the other systems work well, including the programmed massage seats. Picture below

I, also, have issues with RRW's customer service and products, lots of promises, very little action, luckily for me I was sent a link to pay for the pivi pro via Apple Pay which I did but it turned out the payment never went through, leaving me in a very strong position, I managed to get them to refit the old system, which they nearly did ok, I had to fit another external microphone as they cut the original out. They had their system back so my emails to chase it up went unanswered....

I see there are some on here who love it but personally I can't recommend the pivi pro screen or Range Rover World.

Cheers,

If anyone has the same smaller unit from RRW, do you have the factory settings pin number?

RRW say they don't know it...!!!

If I can get into the settings I can sort out a few issues....

I've googled and tried every pin I can find, I took the unit out and it has no makers name etc..

I've highjacked this thread, sorry, please leave any pin numbers on this thread...

I've got the RRW Pivi style screen and have never had an issue with glare as the screen has a matt coating, I noticed in your pic that the screen protection film is still attached (the little remove me label is visible in the bottom right). I'm sure this wouldn't help as it has a glossy finish. Apologies if you are aware of this and it was a pic before it was removed!!

The picture was taken just after fitment, when I'd got home and washed my hands the protector came off, it was a slightly matt finish but still suffered from reflections, this was a while ago, maybe the screen surface has been changed....
