    Why bother with sub-woofers when the rumble of driving over potholes provides the same effect for free? :)

    Park brake not working

    Thanks for the advice. I'm taking the car to my local indy garage tomorrow to discover what bit of the handbrake module is missing or disconnected. The dealer is on the old A40 at Studley Green, opposite the transport cafe. It's about 100 miles form where I live so I don't want to be chasing...

    Make sure you upgrade the alternator if you're running 20 amps for the sound system or you'll have flat battery problems.

    Park brake not working

    The dealer made me aware there was a fault with the parking brake module; what I wonder is whether the module is missing completely or just a bad connection? I was also aware of the radio missing, dealer said he would get it working before I took the car but didn't, then said he'd order one and...

    Park brake not working

    Yes, a dealer. Having looked back through the moT history it shows an advisory on 2 occasions for worn suspension link ball joint, it's still clonking around, an oil leak that may still be there and a blocked washer jet. Methinks a complaint to DVSA about the MoT station..

    Park brake not working

    Thanks for that, at least it's not affected by the infotainment not working! Presumably if the module is not there at all, the yellow light would stay on the dash?

    If so it makes me wonder how it got a new MoT the week before I bought it!

    Park brake not working

    Me again, since I got my 2010 TDV8 Vogue facelift version, the parking brake light has been illuminated. The parking brake doesn't work. the seller told me the parking brake module is missing. The only reference I can see to the parking brake module is a complete unit that has cables going to...

    Missing infotainment system in Vogue 2010 TDV8 facelift version

    Maybe a visit to the local indy Land Rover garage to see what diagnostics show up. the normal garage thing showed no faults except handbrake module missing!. Thanks to everyone on here for your help! I've had most things go wrong with my previous Range Rovers, but nothing like this.

    So does the phone module generate it own light or is it the same light that does the whole circuit? What's more annoying is the dealer I bought itfrom assured me installing the TV unit would be plug and play, it will work!

    Doom and gloom..tried all combinations, no luck. I've got red light from the fire cable going into the input of the TV unit, handily the plugs are marked with in and out arrows..red light coming out of TV unit and into the BT phone module on top of the TV unit, but still got the Land Rover...

    Missing infotainment system in Vogue 2010 TDV8 facelift version

    Life is never simple. I've re-wired as suggested and still no radio! There's a flashing red light on the connector and a flashing red light on the TV connector, so presumably that indicates the MOST is compete. The screen lights up with Range Rover on it, but the controls don't work. Theres no...

    No doubt. :) I'll be surprised, me and technology never go hand in hand. Me and big hammers, yes. :). I don't know how long the "facelift" Vogues were made for, they seem to be a bit of a rarity.

    Next question, I wonder if this set-up has DAB radio or is that a separate add-on?

    Missing infotainment system in Vogue 2010 TDV8 facelift version

    Yes, having just found a video on here of similar problems with an earlier Vogue I now understand how it all works and thought that maybe someone had tinkered with the fibre cables. I had a similar problem on a vintage coach a few years ago, with the heating system not working. 2 3" diameter...

    That makes sense no, yes, I'll try that over the weekend. By doing the loop I was hoping that would recreate the adaptor wires that are on the way from China. I suspected somebody had been messing with the wiring! I didn't want to start unwiring things!

    Hmmm, the orange light on the radio console flashes orange all the time. I wonder would it help by disconnecting the battery negative for 10 minutes to let everything reboot? with the odd fibre cable that went nowhere, I can't see where else it could go apart from looping back on itself. The guy...
