It’s a neat installation but do you find the screen easy to view if using a navigation function? I find I’m really taking my eyes off the road to look at, say, the radio tuner or phone options and would much prefer to have a screen instead of the storage cubby for navigation. One of these days I think I’ll have to spring for an Xtrons! |

Here I am looking at the actual make up of the LCD, during manufacture, not the position.

Hi, the screen is very good visible from the driver side, looking a little bit down.

Excellent. Do you still have use of the sub, parking sensors and steering wheel controls? The sub needing an amp bypass cable is what pushed me to decide to not do it.

Well done, looks great. I'm still waiting on a control harness to do the same kind of conversion. I only ordered it in June ... MY11 SD4 SE Auto |

Stef This is of great interest to me. You have done a great job. I have just visited a car accessories/ stereo/ camera place. Mine is a 6 cylinder 2012 Freelander 2 and the guy told me that my Alpine stereo is not original but the people who bought it new assure me it is. I have found that my screen is very hard to read at certain times of the day through glare. He was suggesting some Apple play deal where my iPhone connects to a USB in the glove compartment and I can access Google maps that way. No more out of date maps!
