This has been the reply.

""Hi Brett
I have been checking for you and we are 95% certain if you have the touch screen then you can add a camera using the gvif

95% certain is pretty good. This guy certainly knows his stuff from what I read on the D4 UK Forum.

Hi Brett

If the lifeguard at the beach said that you had a 1:20 chance of being eaten by a shark if you went in the water, would you go swiming?

The questions therefore are:

• what is the cost, shipping and installation of their GVIF?
• If it doesn't work what do I do?
• Will it void my LR warranty?
• How much do I want it?

They are quite pricey but you can do a lot more than just a camera, you can add digital TV and other AV inputs.

Ask if you can return it if it doen't work. I think they mean it works on D4s but has not been tested on an MY2011. Do a search on DISCO4.COM - Index.

No it won't. The manufacturer only had the right to refuse the warrnty claim if the device has actually caused the failure.

PICNIC?

So for $400, why wouldn't you try this device for your reversing camera?

Advanced ICE Pty Ltd - Land Rover From 2012 VIM for Retrofit Camera or Nav



It comes from an Aussie vendor so warranty etc apply.

I have contacted these guys....they are waiting for someone in QLD to drop a D4 with a touch screen in to test....they don't know if it will work until they test it.
I put a call out a month ago for a QLDer to drop in....but no replies.
I would support this one, if it was confirmed.

I'm guessing it will be you or I who have to drive up to Brissy to check, it would be more risky buying the one from the UK.

This evening I sent an email to Graeme Cooper Automotive asking them to check the Advanced ICE item. We may go ahead and get one in and see what happens, if it works they may become an agent in Sydney, if it doesn't everyone will know.

Will talk to them tomorrow.

I've fitted a cheap camera to my 2011 touch screen, I think it was less than $40 on the bay and needs to be activated using a faultmate or similar, it also has to be a NTSC camera. The 2010/11 touch screens have a 6 pin plug in the back, the middle 2 are for the reversing camera the other 4 are for venture cam and TV inputs.

The fuel for me to get there.....probably about 1000....would be cheaper for me to run the gauntlet.

I am in WA ;-)

Let's see what cooper automotive have to say....fingers crossed it works.

How much does a faultmate cost ?
