Thanks Podcast for the info, managed to get a NV U82 from Halfords which is the same as the 83 but without the bluetooth - that's all I could get hold of. Planning to install at the weekend. Like you I just anted something to fit the hole as I already have a Tom Tom for my other car.

No problem, to be honest I couldn't believe the fit, although I've added a couple of sicky pads top/bottom so it's even snugger in the hole... Just follow what I wrote for fitting the cable & no need to remove the centre console!

I took my cable over to the dealers tonight they are going to hard wire mine in behind the dash then i wont need to use the accessory socket.  Freelander2 GS TD4 Manual in Lago Grey .Roof Mount DVD 9.2''Screen~Window Tints~Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth~Retro Fit Sony Satnav~iPhone Dashmount~Side Steps~Woodco Armrest~Mudflaps~Land Rover Sunglass Holder~LED Interior Lights~Private Plate.Evoque Collected 17th Sept 2012.

How much did they charge to hardwire the cable in? And how are you going to turn the unit on and off  2007 GS TD4, Narvik Black, Privacy Glass, Chrome Tubes, HSE alloys, Clear repeaters, detachable tow bar and retro fit Sony Sat Nav

£25 to hard wire the unit and when you switch off the ignition it give 2 options power off automatically after 30seconds or run off battery then once you start car again it power up on its own. thats what its does when i tried it in my present car.  Freelander2 GS TD4 Manual in Lago Grey .Roof Mount DVD 9.2''Screen~Window Tints~Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth~Retro Fit Sony Satnav~iPhone Dashmount~Side Steps~Woodco Armrest~Mudflaps~Land Rover Sunglass Holder~LED Interior Lights~Private Plate.Evoque Collected 17th Sept 2012.

I have to take my FL2 back to the dealer (dodgy fuel guage) so I might get them to wire it in for free?

I wired mine into the power lead that powers the front cigarette lighter; saves going behind the dash.

There is a fuse box in the passenger footwell, at least one fuse in there should be suitable and convenient? At work

I might give that a go, took my FL2 in to the stealers today for the heater fuse fire risk & wondered if they could wire it up out of courtesy


The answer was no & ironically they wanted 0.8hrs = £76 + VAT to wire it up? They were embarressed when I told them I couldn't justify spending more on fitting the satnav than it actually cost to buy in the first place!

What a bunch of ...

Barton, which dealer charged you £25 to wire it up? Thanks!

If was Marshalls at Peterboro but they passed on the work on to the guys who fitted my parrot bluetooth and roofmount dvd so it was all done at the same time,just make sure you fit it to a accesory socket though as it still need to run at 5.3volts so don't just cut the plug of and wire it to 12volts as you risk it catching fire according to the sony nav forums.  Freelander2 GS TD4 Manual in Lago Grey .Roof Mount DVD 9.2''Screen~Window Tints~Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth~Retro Fit Sony Satnav~iPhone Dashmount~Side Steps~Woodco Armrest~Mudflaps~Land Rover Sunglass Holder~LED Interior Lights~Private Plate.Evoque Collected 17th Sept 2012.

Hi
I've made some LandRover splash screens for the u93 if anyone is interested.
(I would think they will work on any 4.8 inch screen Sony)
