How much would you guys say is a reasonable price to have the chrome surround and the small base section below the sat nav unit finished in grand black lacquer? Appreciate any input from the bodyshop guys on here

It will be getting done just that I have been quoted £130 mate which is approximatelty 278 AUD. I dont have a problem forking out on the job but I would have guessed around the £80 -£100 mark tops. As long as its a good job I will be happy... MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

There is a QR Reader symbol under the chrome centre console trim



I scanned it and the following apperared. What does this refer to ?


Why is there a QR Reader fitted

L359 refers to Freelander 2 (Codename) and MY13 Manual states the MY and transmission type. Understandable it's so the factory pick up the correct trim for auto/manual. I don't understand why a normal label with text would not be adequate?

There is a qr code because it's machine readable. Damn computers have problems reading alpha numerics. Even we humans have problems when the writing isn't the right way up. As long as the scanner can see it and focus on it the qr code is readable any way up.

Would it read ok whatever the language of the end user was, so say it was an Indian part, instead of writing the part name in English and Indian and Hindu and Vindaloo etc you just have the one code and the machine wherever translates it easier?? If you see what Im getting it?
Sort of a ultra modern replacement for the old barcode?

My understanding is that the qr code will display whatever it was programmed to say or run a routine if the scanning device contains that routine or can access it via the Internet or another network. The one you've found contains what might be a part number. Some qr codes open web pages.
Qr codes only need a relatively simple camera for a computer to read them. Bar codes either need to be scanned in a correct orientation by a simple scanner (hand held as in Tesco) or in any orientation by a complicated scanner (as at the till at Tesco).
