Hi Olly

How did you get the 4x4 screen working without the head unit in ??

Here is my new pioneer but no top screen, I have steering wheel controls through the purchased harness but the red & green phone buttons & the speech button does not work though !,had to remove the speed pulse cable as this had the Satnav showing 46mph while parked in front of a wall, see picture
It is now working in hybrid mode = speed through the gps as additional purchase was required to fix this see below.

This was from pioneer......
Connects2 list a CAN IF for that vehicle with speed pulse automatically
generated. If this is being used then it's either a faulty CAN IF or a
fault sensor in the unit.

A company called Beijer Automotive from whom we get our speed pulse
information state that the issue can be caused by tapping into speed pulse
directly from the vehicle wiring speed pulse point and in some cases needs
one of these interfaces.

great topic would love a more detailed step by step guild on how to fit and still keep top screen working,

The basic way to keep the top screen/sat nav working, plus other functionality which goes via the head unit like being able to change temperature from C to F etc. is to relocate the head unit to the boot. This keeps its connectivity and allows these other functions to continue working.

I think if you are more technical you can use only the parts of the head unit required and not the full unit.

Personally I didn't think it worth doing the work to keep the top screen working and it has never really bothered me. If it did I think I'd try the tablet route.

I am hoping olly is going to tell us something different as I was aware of the head unit in the boot but just don't want to entertain that idea ! Range Rover Sport 2009 Stormer edition.

Thanks.. Range Rover Sport 2009 Stormer edition.

here is how I seperated the head unit as per olly's picture.

Just awaiting the next steps & how to get the screen working although I only want the 4x4 info & not bothered about the sound through the speakers for the SarNav as I have that in my new head unit !

Hi first post and like Roy, love the car hate that stereo, I have a alpine ive-w585 bt double din ready to install, but do like the 4x4 info screen, so have ordered the bits and can't wait to see Ollly's guide, as it looks excellent with both screens working.

Watching this with huge interest!!

what double din unit is recommended and also which fascia too?

Happy to work with somebody on this build jointly in the Gatwick and surrounding areas

rumz - Road Radio in Crawley can sort you out or advise on the parts if you do yourself. They did mine
