Having got my HSE i6 delivered, I was wandering if there is a tv accessory for the car. My dealer showed me a tv antenna at the left rear windows and a plug to use it (underneath), but I haven't found a tv land rover accessory yet. Does anyone know if there is one? I have got SatNav for my car, but I understan that I cannot use it for watching dvd's (let alone TV). Could I use the satvan screen to watch tv and dvd's. That would be great! |

The sat nav uses a DVD for its information database - the DVD player is under the drivers seat. So all the hardware is in place. We just need an electronics whizz to tell us how to make it work! Someone must know. Don`t drive faster than your angel can fly! |

Absolutely aggree with you nicam. The problem is that judging from the replies I got, not many people know how to do it (without destroying LR2 complex electronics that is).

Hi again defkalion!! As you know I have reorderd my replacement HSE as an auto but have deleted the DVD screens this time. I visited my local car audio specialist to explain that I get alot of transmission noise through the dealer fitted DVD package to my existing car. They said they have not fitted the correct supression or they have fitted the wires too close to other electrical components. So once i get the new auto car my first stop will be the specialist to have a DVD fiited which has an integral player mounted inside one of the head rests therefore less cables needed, as the existing needs a seperate DVD to be plugged in. Whilst I was in the store they did have a TV roof mounted system with a single screen for £550 GBP plus install!! OK it would not fit in a HSE with twin sunroofs but they do seem available. Just a shame the satnav screen cannot be adapted to view DVD's!!! |

Carlfraz - will they be fitting the screens to your existing headrests then ? Out of interest, is it very expensive ? I was tempted to get an aftermarket fasten on screen, but I'm not keen to have wires running everywhere. |

Been and booked in for next Thursday, Alpine six stack DVD player going under the passenger seat,, two five inch screens going in the front head rests (existing headrests) as to get 7 inches means you need larger headrests and they look too big for the car, plus Freeview receiver and infra red remote alpine headphones. Cost £1,649. Ouch seems alot but when you consider L Rover want £1,045 for just the screens and headphones the extra six hundred quid ain't bad!! Install will take a day an a half
