But mounted on the parcel shelf? That's not right, surely.

LR would have made a better job of mounting that too.

Keeps it dry, notice it also has it's own floatation device

backinblack · Nov 12, 2020

Just noticed it's a 6 DVD changer so maybe not standard then.

@Mark Piercy , as above,the silver and blue SBC are add ons for wireless headphones.
I'd take a guess that the grey DVD unit is original, ( it's same colour as the multi-cd changer in my glovebox)moved out of it's home for the multi-changer unit. Kept for what reason I have no idea.

Addit: Just looked again due to @backinblack 's comment. Parcel shelf unit looks a lot like my satnav. From memory

Snakes wedding comes to mind, and you know if you disconnect the wrong thing the whole universe will implode and even if you then rewire it as you found it, it will never work again. Sorry mate I am not much help on this one.

For what it’s worth here’s the kit in my 2005 SC. From the top, Bluetooth, SatNav, CD multi-changer. Hope it helps.

Thank you @backinblack, there us also a Playstation 2 which the Philips would have been transmitting too.

Thats were I placed them as the inner rear wing is as wet à wet thing covered in wetness!

satnav it is, standard kit that one then. Thanks

Thank you one and all, I've got to leave it now for 24 hrs to check the voltage drop and if we have a reasonable amount, I've then got to reconnect the bare minimum and see how it fairs from there

Excellent, thank you very much indeed. I guess the next 24hrs will tell if there are any changes. I don't suppose there is a little transmitter in there also?

EDIT- I’m a plank, the bottom unit in mine is the DVD multi changer not CD as I stated.
Sorry.
I do agree with the PlayStation headphone recharging battery gizmos. I’d be inclined to remove these if you don’t have the tv screens or headphones to go with them.
Tricky.

Mark Piercy · Nov 12, 2020

There are screens but the owner isn't interested in them working. He just needs it to not munch batteries!!

Tricky of York · Nov 12, 2020

Additional pics hope you can see everything you need.

Ah. That explains the odd location then.

backinblack · Nov 12, 2020

The play station would explain the audio in to the fm transmitter.

Quick google search shows one of those dvd changers for sale that was removed from an X5.

backinblack · Nov 12, 2020

@Tricky of York that picture is obviously fake, no damp, no rust, no way

It must be said I removed my small dehumidifier pillow for the photo hence no damp. The previous owners had looked after the car as was supported by the JLR Workshop Manager when it was in for EAS investigation last year.

Hmmm maybe i have some of those little packing gel pillows around
