Hi just bought this car from my Dad and I'm new to this forum so hi to you all and thanks for taking the time to view my post.
I wanted to find out if i can change both the sat nav and the audio double din units, for something more up to date.
I read the 2011 post which covers a great deal of issues but it didn't (unless i missed one of the 43 pages) cover changing both the factory fitted Sat Nav and the separate 3 CD/radio units. It also ends in 2013 so is 4 years since last post and 6 years since it was originally posted.
The car is a 2009 HSE Freelander 2 it has parking sensors front and back and steering column bluetooth and volume controls. The speakers are Alpine units.
Has anyone swapped both units are they connected.
Can you extend a screen from a combined sat nav / DD audio to the top of the dash to fit in the sat nav space.
Are there any recommended manufactures that are good for this set up.
If it has to be a separate audio unit and a Garmin/TomTom type sat nav any suggestions as to models.
Who supplies the best connectors for easy install / fascias to match the original dash finish.
Has anyone come across a step by step guide. (with pictures
)
I have tried to find someone to fit this but they want to sell me an all in one DD unit, but is too low down the centre console and I'd really like to swap both to keep the look and not have the sat nav dead at the top of the dash. The space is insufficient for the unit to go where the sat nav is and that leave the old cd/radios dead below.
They also want £1500 supply and fit, in the quote they offer a DD unit 'all in one' price approx £600 or £800 so your talking about £1000 to fit, they say the fitting costs are due to the components needed to connect the car to the new units which does ring true from the other post i read as i mentioned above.
We're in South London does anyone have any installer recommendations.
Thanks for reading
