I have a 2005 Disco 3 HSE with the Hi-ICE mid spec stereo I believe but I do not have a the factory sat nav screen.

Is there any way of getting an aftermarket screen to display the 4x4 terrain response information? (I.e. suspension height, front wheel direction etc)?

thanks in advance...

I don't believe that can be achieved. You can retrofit the nav system but that is a big big job. 4x4 info is nice to have but not really hugely useful.

Just do what I've done in mine and install a Hema Navigator separately on a windscreen suction cap mounting bracket - then you can see both the navigation and the terrain response info both at the same time.

Having said that - I've never used the terrain response information screen. :D

I've had both the VMS and the Hema in mine - the VMS has a bigger screen (good for old buggers like me with failing eyesight), but not as good in the city for street navigation as the Hema. I believe there's a new model Hema out (I have the Hema 6, have seen a Hema 7 advertised), don't know what if any improvements there are over the previous model. I've been happy with mine since buying it.

He has no nav in his vehicle ! :)

I use an iPad with HEMA and memory map (1:25k topo) held by the passenger - it's great ! For road nav I use my iPhone and google maps streaming instructions to the audio via a parrot thingo. Harsh on data usage but works good.

I use the same method. Especially distracting when navigation system has good legs and is wearing short shorts.
