So could I connect an iPad to this

hi, i like what you have done with your RR, am really interested in the way you did it. Can you please send me some more infor on how you did it.

thanks

Can you post a bit more info on the wiring?

You mention:

"The NAV TV setup. Simply plugin, no hard wiring. Plugin to the wiring loom and tap into the fibre MOST loop. 30 mins worse..."

...but how do I know where and what anything is? This seems like the best and cleanest mod I've seen for the entertainment system anywhere on the web!

thanks.

I'm really interested in this also.... 2005 Rang Rover Supercharged
Loving every minute !

Really nice job! My RRS is definitely getting this treatment.

Can you advise which power supply you got from Maplin please?

Also, do you think it would be possible to make this setup auto switch for a reverse camera?

Cheers,

Mike.

Anyone know if the reverse camera autoswitching is achievable with this setup?


Cheers,

Mike.

Is anyone offering a supply and fit for this unit? I am about as useful as a chocolate teapot with these sorts of things. What a great upgrade-would love to have it installed.

Kind regards

Here is my thread on upgrading my Range Rover Sport�s in car entertainment system. I love the car, but the interface is rather lacking compared with my previous cars systems (Audi MMI and BMW iDrive to name a few�.). I really rate the standard sat nav system in these, even if it is made by Denso�.. So after a bit of thinking the best way to do this I decided not to try to replace the factory sat nav. I wanted something to play videos but most importantly music. The iPod options for the Denso sat nav are poor, the best being the NavTV option VDock, which is now discontinued and very expensive. Land Rover�s option is poor and basically emulates a cd changer from what I saw.

So looking around you can build Windows and Linux based systems but they ain�t cheap. To build one with all the car power supply I was looking at minimum �300. So I looked into adapting a tablet Android device with TV out into the car. After some research there are now Android TV devices (Simular to AppleTV) much cheaper. I found the Noontec A9 which came with IR remote, wireless USB dongle keyboard, had video and audio phono outputs�.. It was perfect. It got better as well, it took a 12V DC input into the device. Saves messing around with the power supplies! The only thing I needed to do was regulate it due to car power supplies being between 12v and 14v when the engine was running.

So the next stage was getting an input into the system. There were 3 options from what I could see:
1) A simple �10 cable that goes into the rear of the screen, and you have to go into diagnostics mode every time you wanted to view the screen.
2) GVIF Interface, around �250 ish depending where you get them from? Uses additional switches to switch to the feeds but has benefits of rear view camera auto switching. Canbus switching available but not recommended by the importer?
3) Nav TV input device. OPV-2LR. Comes with the tv in motion module and installs the TV icon onto the RR screens.

Decided to go for the NavTV input as I want to quickly switch between the navigation and the Android system. Plus I like the OEM feel to it all.
Needed a 12v Regulated power supply, Maplin won at �12. Bargain!

Biggest issue was controlling it now. The remotes were IR and I wanted to hide the Noontec unit. So I needed some sort of IR repeater. Biggest issue was most were mains powered. Luckily a company called Niche Mode do one that is USB powered. �50 delivered. Simple, plug in, cover the IR repeated on the Noontec, and reposition the new one where you want. No additional power sources.

So after a test in the car today, here is where I am at. It works, very well. Pleased is an understatement, next option is a bit more Android development to hone it a bit more. But in a nutshell, for around �500 notes, I have a decent music interface, a video interface and complete internet connectivity.

For the music I use Spotify and PlayerPro. It connects through my iPhone for internet as shown below and streams music well! Though that is a bonus.

Anyway less talking more pics:

Enjoy, hope you like. Something I wanted to do for a while! A bit different, seen phones on here through GVIF etc, but thought mine was different enough to show anyway.

This was a long time ago but essentially using the NavTV module gives you a video input to the system with just pressing the TV button. The downside the control was remote not touch screen I think.

There will be way better things for interfacing now. Just choose something cheap on eBay.
