SubscriberHi
I have had my D3 HSE for about a year and have been extremely happy with it. However I would like to start adding some extras, and therefore have also considered upgrading to the D4 (second hand) before i do.
But at the moment I have concerns over the sat nat.
On my D3, based on info from this forum and disco3.co.uk i fitted an aftermarket Kenwood/Garmin unit where the screen fitted neatly into the cubby hole in the top of the dash. This is fully integrated with the premium audio and gives me bluetooth, ipod connection, rear camera view, and on road and off road sat nav inc safety and red light cameras, school zones etc.
So i want all that functionality in the D4, but my understanding is the factory fitted option, which is expensive will still not have the saftey camera info, and no option for 4wd maps.
Is there an aftermarket alternative? that will fit into the dash and can integrate with steering wheel controls etc Or am i wrong about the D4 nav functionality?
thanks

I have the same questions on a 2012 D4.
I am wondering if anyone has fitted this Advanced ICE interface? Advanced ICE Pty Ltd - Land Rover from 2012 Reverse Camera + VIM
If anyone has fitted it, does it integrate with the OEM camera software so it displays automatically and does the currently inactive "NAV" button integrate etc?
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

I emailed them, and their reply was "does it have a full colour screen". I sent pics of my screen, which does have colours in 4wd mode, plus other screens, but no replies for a week.Originally Posted by Lotz-A-Landies
If it works.....I will order one.

The vision assist pack on the SE gives you adaptive lights, reverse camera, surround cameras, tow assist and Hi ICE stereo to go with it. Good value just over $3000.

Hi Simonics
I purchased a second hand Disco 4 recently and upgraded the low spec stereo to have NAV DVD and all that good stuff. I have written about it in the Disco 4 NO NAV to NAV thread. I am very happy with how it turned out. My only gripe is the Bluetooth quality is not that flash (works fine but sounds tinny). Saying that if I could have purchased a Disco 4 with the factory nav option installed that would have been better but there are not many second hand Disco 4's around so you may not have the choice. If you do end up getting a Disco 4 with the Nav screen but no reverse camera you can add one easily using the GVIF interface (will show automatically when reverse selected) this also enables you to have AV inputs to the disco 4 screen which you could use for off road nav. There are lots of write ups on how to do this on both this forum and the UK one. Sorry but I don't know if the factory NAV has safety cams. Also I think there may have been some changes to the stereos and screens in 2012 but if you are after a second hand one I doubt this will affect you.

The problem with the front sensors and vision assist are that they are not compatible with the ARB and Opposite Lock front bars.

"Update for Case #CASE00679 - "MY12 Land Rover D4 with HighICE No Nav/camera"
Hello Diana,
Thank you very much for your enquiry.
Unfortunately we have not currently completed testing on this car yet, but we should know if we can integrate reverse camera to one of these vehicles by the end of the week. Navigation is not able to be added with the RL-LR12-TF, but we will also be working on a solution for this car in the near future.
Regards
Leigh"
I'll keep the forum advised about updates.

Subscriber@ Lotz-A-Landies - i actually managed to find the manufacturer of these, and have contacted them directly but no response yet.

Their C1 - LR10 model seems to suggest that you might be able to plug in an external Satnav device and have it controlled via the touch screen.
I know Garmin have the GVN53, which might plug in, but you can't control it via the screen.
@ Disco4pilot - thanks for that - i read your excellent post - you have done a great job there!! That might well be another option then. So that works with standard stereo - would it also work with the Premium ICE package?
What does the standard tft screen display? is it just the radio controls? I guess it doesn't have the 4x4 info (which i suppose is a bit of a gimmick anyway?)
