Thread: Retro Fitting the Touch Screen Display, e-Diff and Phone controls

dom

update. after much research, i think i have a couple answers regarding the screen update.

The first thing is, if you have the 6 cd changer stereo or above it is certainly possible with a few loom mods. I've talked to a guy that has done it.

4x4 info etc , does need to be unlocked in the car config file though using a faultmate msv2.

But as far as SAT NAV etc that is a go.

If you have the basic stereo, then it looks like you are scr3wed.. There is no optical lead or loom to supply the screen.

I did chat to a guy that retro fitted an entire wiring loom from a RR sport into his D3 and has enabled EVERYTHING. It certainly looks a major job, but he has made PDF's of the whole thing.

As for me, its gonna be as far as I go, as I have the really basic 1 cd unit in my car and NO looms to feed the screen.

If I was in the UK and could source a loom easily, I might have a go

It mean pretty soon they'll be a screen from a D3 for sale.

Gonna flog it for what I paid plus the import.... Intense sadness....

Let me know if you need some links, or just check out DISCO3.CO.UK - Dedicated to Discovery 3 and LR3 Owners and Enthusiasts

There are MANY nae-sayers but a few clever chappies have actually done the Job. The fella that spliced into the existing looms is from the US, I think. Very helpful.

Hi Doddsy,

I do have the 6 disc stereo and harmon kardon speakers so looks like it might be possible. How much for the screen etc?

Cheers

I can help you with the wiring, I have just done what you are trying to do !!!! It all works like a charm.
NO NEED FOR ALL THE EXTRA WIRING LOOMS!!!!! All it takes is being able to strip back a bit of the plastic covering on 10 wires from your factory loom, then splice in your own wires to the corresponding device.

I have added PTI, Voice Control & Sat/Nav to my 2006 D3 SE, thanks to the Faultmate MSV2. If you do not have a Faultmate MSV2 or can't get access to one, you can still get the Screen to power up & get the Nav to work but you can't activate the 4x4 info.

Do you have the six disc cd changer w/ amp under your seat? That is the only MANDATORY part, if you have that then I can help.

So looks like I've got a Used Genuine screen for sale $500

Thats what I paid for the part and import from the UK.

To Re-iterate, this CAN be fitted if you have the 6 CD changer.

Don't bother if you have the Single CD basic unit like me.

Hi Doddsy,

I'll take it.

Cheers
