View Full Version : D4 - does colour colour dash screen mean reverse camera fitted?

Do all D4's that have the colour screen at the top of the dash have a reverse camera? e.g. the photograph below is a 2012 base model with the 2.7L TDV6. It has reverse parking sensors and a colour screen in the top of the dash there:
148452
If these don't have a factory reverse camera is it possible to integrate one?
Currently looking at purchasing a D3/4 and so have a few questions as part of my research... Thanks.

Your picture shows the LowLine audio system, with the small screen. No reverse camera from the factory on those and no simple retrofit either.
Don't buy a D4 with the LowLine audio, only get one with the full size colour touchscreen and analogue clock in the middle of the console.
The LowLine system sucks badly and it's not feasible to retrofit the full sized screen, unless you have very deep pockets.

There are a few of us that have retrofitted cameras but you need the large touchscreen to start with. Kelvo did one to a MY12? with HK system and I did one into a MY14 with Meridian system.

There's a couple of TDV8s on Grays Auctions at the moment...

Not me, although I did add a second switchable camera input on my MY14 which already had the factory fitted reverse camera and Meridian sound system, using this very helpful thread Switching another camera on to the D4 screen (https://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-and-4-a/231724-switching-another-camera-d4-screen.html)
The best way is to check the build spec using Topix and the vehicle VIN. It’s free to register and get the build information.

Yes, it's what I really want, but reality is that the Discovery 3/4 interior sizing and space is so much more practical and 7 seater would be a bonus too. There is a D4 V8 6 speed up in Queensland which really speaks to me. Struggling to get the lady to look past a diesel motor though...

The v8 is a good option if you aren't towing lots....

What did you use on your MY14?  My D4 has the small screen.

What did you use on your MY14?  My D4 has the small screen.I used just a generic ebay camera. It needs the large touch screen to connect in to though. The small screen version cannot support a reversing camera (to my knowledge).
