Thread: Defender steering wheels - radio interface?

i guy i worked with pulled off the back of the remote off and mounted the front half with the buttons flush in the steering wheel.

he than extended the wires on the bulb/led thingy at the front of the remote (what is this bit called?) and mounted this on the back of the steering wheel so it pointed towards the radio........

quite clever and it worked well.............slow cornering the sensor thingy would be pointing towards the driver door therfore would not work

hope that makes sense

I thought the point would be moot as you can't hear the radio in a Defender anyway.

I've seen the cruise control switches from a D2 on a Defender, so I guess you could do the same with radio controls.

Excuse me, You'll have to speak up, I've been driving Land Rovers since the 1960s.

However with the new road rules brought in on 1st November for NSW drivers, I would like the bluetooth switches so I don't have to touch the phone and risk getting booked.

Just bought a Sony deck from JB HI FI $299 on sale for $168. Has Bluetooth and MP3 iPod etc.

The salesman said it had the best clarity for Bluetooth, he was right I tested it, everyone who used to complained about my VMS Bluetooth in Hilux said the new Sony was fantastic, until I started the motor and started driving, I have no idea what they thought of it after that as I could not hear them nor them hear me.

Apart from that the Sony is great especially for $168. Model code if your interested is: Sony MEX-BT4050U

Heaps of features. Recommended.

Thanks Biron

I have a Discovery 4 and love the steering wheel interface, but I can't find a Defender steering wheel interface on the site.

Hi Babs

I recently found a double DIN video entertainment system with Stereo radio/DVD/TV/Bluetooth/MP3/iPod/Rear camera/GPS turn by turn & preloaded with OziExplorer for a little more than the RRP of the Sony unit. So am a little interested in that unit.
