    Disco3 Cam / DVD / GPS Upgrade

    Hi Guys,
    Having bought a pov pack Disco 3, I'm keen to put in an aftermarket system to provide (in order of importance) the following features

    a) Reversing Camera
    b) iPod connectivity
    c) Bluetooth
    d) GPS / Nav

    I see that most people take out the standard radio, and covert the slot into a double DIN and fit one of those cheap chinese units.
    But has anyone seen one of these aftermarket systems that fit into the factory display slot?
    Land Rover Discovery 3 DVD Navigation Car GPS DVD With Monitor For Land Rover Discovery Series III / SUV LR3 /Discovery 3 - Autocardvdgps.com

    I was thinking that the screen that goes in the normal radio position would be pretty hard to see while driving. But the above unit is almost twice the price of those cheap ebay units.

    Any thoughts?

    So.. can anyone comment on what it's like using a screen in the normal Radio position? Is it annoying when trying to use the touch screen in this position?

    Thanks Tombie. I've been trying to get an install manual off them to see how hard the install is, or if they expect there to be certain wiring looms already. But their response is "buy one and there's a manual in the kit". LOL

    Are you replacing the current screen or do you have a hole in the dash where it's going?

    Cheers

    Theres a hole at the moment with a aftermarket GPS sitting there.

    The "manual" is a single page... I will upload tonight.

    Thanks, that would be great if you could.

    I'm also curious where you plan to put the DVD part of the unit. In the top glove box?

    Not sure if you have gone any further with this, but I see in the pics the radio in the dash is the hi-line or up market unit not the base model system.

    Will be keen to see if this has worked.

    Cheers Ean
