Much better than I was expecting and seems useful. They must have known I wasn't getting a black roof when they programmed it! MY16 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography in Aleutian silver, stealth pack and toys.

That looks superb, massive improvement!

Insult to injury on the roof colour lol

Identical to what I had on an X5 in 2011! Land rover finally playing catch up!

I think that is an actual image of your car and not computer generated. Thats how it used to work in my BMW. The cameras are under the aide mirrors, wave your hands under the mirror when activated if you see your hand you'll know what I mean

Hate to disagree but whilst it might be similar to what BMW have I've not seen one that stitch the images together so well that it looks seamless.

It is generated image of the car as well because unless they have a 6ft pole coming out the top of the car how else could it capture the roof when the camera are under the mirrors and on the front and rear bumpers

JasSmiths you have obviously not seen the BMW system as it is identical to this and provides a birds eye view. It's camera trickery at it's best. Go take a look at the BMW system which has cameras under the wing mirrors (none in bumpers that are related to surround view). If you waive your hand under the mirror whilst the system is on you can see your hand which proves it is camera trickery and not CGI.

My X5 has surround view and rear camera but no front or side view cameras which can also be ordered.

Happy that RR have this option noe as it's a god send to avoid curbing alloy wheeels

RRSman. . Jasmiths is absolutely right btw.. and if u had cameras on your sport you too would notice they are in the wing mirrors as well as the bumpers.. you can do the hand waving trick on the rrs as well. It's not cgi but it is 360 degree video stitching in very high quality HD. P400e HSE Portofino Blue and Ivory Seats.. it's like a yacht!!

Interesting in that case the BMW system is more clever! As I said my X5 had surround view and only had a rear camera with cameras under the mirrors with none in the front or rear bumpers. If that's the case then the RR system works differently.

Double posted.. anyhow it's worth having on an RRS P400e HSE Portofino Blue and Ivory Seats.. it's like a yacht!!

Couldn't have given the view to the front then, like this:

 

Clearly not cleverer !! 270 degree non stitched and let's not worry about the front ! P400e HSE Portofino Blue and Ivory Seats.. it's like a yacht!!

Workshop manual says that each camera use a reference point of the car to calibrate itself, for example wing mirror cameras look for the shut line of the doors and lower sill trim so system knows camera is giving the right picture to combine all four cameras digitally. Quite clever.

Do you get a contrast roof if yours has one in the display? And is the colour of the car always matching! MY16 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography in Aleutian silver, stealth pack and toys.

I ordered this expecting a gimmick, but the MY16 surround camers are fantastic, and hopefully will help keep my wheels kerb free. I was only expected the aeriel view, and I had no idea of the different camera views available.

My only gripe with it is that whilst reversing the only way to change views is to touch the screen. Its a shame LR does not incorporate a steering wheel button to toggle the different views whilst parking, but hey you can't have everything. MY16 (65) RRS, HSE, White, 21" 507s, Pan/Black Roof, 7 Seats, Ebony/Cirrus, Surround Cams, Fully Color Coded

Yep - agree it is fantastic - especially when compared to the surround view on the previous model - what was all that about
