Looks good. Does the new head unit not have GPS built in?

Does everything still work, reverse sensors, steering controls etc? FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Yes the head has sat nav, but dependent on the phone, so no signal and cannot set the satnav so nice to have one totally independent on phone signal.

Yep, controls all work, and also reversing beeps still work, also go into reverse and the radio shows a reversing camera mounted as one of the rear numberplate lights. 2010 Freelander2 TD4_e GS

I have too many questions.

Was your original head unit the midline one with the Alpine speakers? If so did you get an amp bypass kit? Does the sub in the boot still work? I would love to do this but it just looks too expensive with the midline setup. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

I did use the amp bypass kit the connectors that actually worked were from incartech the sub in the boot, good question not sure not noticed it missing. But will have to sit in the boot and feel. Smile

Yes, the midline unit, so looks like the posh one, but without sat nav screen.

Price £230 for the kit, £40 for bits. £30 for reversing camera, £220 for the sat nav (cheaper ones available) and I guess around £300 for the pioneer. So yes, not cheap. But it's awsome. Smile sat up high with all the gadgets it feels great.closest I'll get to flying a space shuttle Wink 2010 Freelander2 TD4_e GS

I would be interested to know what the sound is like if the sub isn't working. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

No, sub not working, would need to put a little powered amp in for that. The stereo has an output for a sub.

My dog who is in the boot a lot is probably happy the sub isn't working Smile 2010 Freelander2 TD4_e GS

Interesting. If it sounds full and still has a decent bass response I guess it isn't an issue. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Would really appreciate if you could let me know how it sounds. Music in the car is important to me. I guess I could always turn the sub right down and see how it sounds in mine - only just thought of that. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Thanks. Also, from the incartech product photos the amp bypass kit looks like a really long cable. Do you have to run this and do you have to dismantle a lot of the car to do so? FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Yes.... it's tucked under the drivers carpet and the trim around the drivers footwell, only took half an hour or so to run the cable. 2010 Freelander2 TD4_e GS
