(Another) Hello from Cambridge! (Freelander Pics included)

Hello site users, nice to be able to access the forum (Thanks to Paul for sorting out the spam bot thing and registering me manually )

Here goes my random intro and my tale of becoming an "owner"

So, I never 'wanted' a freelander... I was dating someone who had 2 small children and a BMW 330Ci Convertible was not suitable in this naff weather for baby seats. Having to take the roof down everytime to safely strap a baby into their car seat was a royal pain in the arse!! I came across a nicely priced 2005 Freelander Sport Prem Auto (I f*****g hate autos, but that's because I grew up with manuals) but hey, it was the right price at the right time.

Sadly the relationship has since ended but I find my self unable to sell this freelander I never wanted because actually, it's pretty alright and am thus far enjoying it.

Without further ado here is my 2005 Freelander.















As you'll see in the pictures, I have already added a Nexus 7 Tablet install to replace the Visteon 6500 That was in it when I bought it. (I'm aware that it *should* have been the harman kardon nav double din unit)

Hello and welcome

The nexus 7 looks pretty good tbf

Thanks everyone

And thanks Littelwill.

Was a royal pain in the arse to do, the seller had absolutely butchered the loom to put the visteon in so they could sell so it "with a stereo" ... took me forever to find a wiring diagram (Rave to the rescue) and put it all together.

Should anyone want the files to make their own Nexus 7 (or their own android tablet variant) I'll happily send over all files used to make it look like that.

Hello Jtanner. . My name is Nushki from Srilanka. Recently I bought a freelander 1 facelift model which I'm pretty happy about overall performance in it. Now I came looking for a good touch screen for it. And I came across your picture on the Google search which really caught my eye. Pretty good job I should say..I would really appreciate if u could help me out on the mod. And how to fix it..and also the USB port .very neat. And thank you for sharing all the goodies.
