just out of curiosity those of you wanting the rear dvd setup, why didn't your order it from the factory? Was it just the price that made you not want to get it?

Since I bought mine of the lot, it was not installed as is the case for probally most of us. 

I didn't go for the factory fit cos of the LR £2250 price tag ( I think it was around that much)......

Having seen the dvd screens that strap to the back of the headrests (next base or centurion) where you put the dvd into the side of the screen for around £200 - £300 for both.. whilst they are nowhere near as neat, it's a significantly cheaper option ... and you can remove the dvd's for taking on flights/trains etc......

that said, I still like the look of the dvd's fitted flush into the headrests... but the quotes I've seen o nthis forum so far are around £1500... Range Rover Sport TdV6HSE Bonatti Grey 20" FE Stormer wheels, Privacy Glass, Mats, Boot Mat, black badges, SC grille and vents

OK , lets get to grips with this then

LR fitted rear entertainment/dvd/telematics cost £2250 = EXPENSIVE

What can we get that is better, looks factory fitted and ultimately costs less.

Ideal set-up as follows

2 x 7 or 8 inch headrest screens ( with swivel/tilt option ) for best viewing

6 x DVD player ( either mounted in factory boot space or under rear seat )

Front screen integration with TV capabilities

Either or both wireless/wired headphones.

Remote control


Other option

As above but swapping rear screens for the roof mounted version

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what will the costs for these options be or should I have bought the factory fitted version & just added the TV module

Yours really confused

Hi All,
I was told about this forum by a customer, so thought I'd drop in and say hello! Hope the management don't mind me posting here?!

I run the car audio division of www.PrestigeAudio.co.uk and we have done dozens of installs in RR Sports for various trade and retail customers, so if anyone has any questions on these, or would like a quote (could probably do a good deal for forum members) then please let me know.

I sadly don't drive a Sport, but a rather sluggish BMW X3 2.0D Sport (stop laughing!) however, if I flog a few more install, who knows!?

Here is a couple of pics of recent installs:


These screens were specifically chosen and modified by us to give the best viewing angle from below, as the Sport headrests slope forwards somewhat and most screens have appaling viewing angles from below.


The DVD player fits neatly under the rear seats, allowing the seats to fold fully flat still, but give easy access to change the disk. A 6 DVD changer can also fit here, or the player can go elsewhere if needed.


This is a 10.4" Alpine drop down roofscreen in a Supercharged Sport, again, with the DVD player mounted under the rear seat.

On all install we connect the DVD sound into the Aux in on the factory sound system, and supply cordless headphones. Unlike many places, we route all the cables through the headrest cars which makes it all look factory fit, rather than the common rubber grommit method used by most places.

We can also integrate the system onto the front screen using the new NavTV interface which is very slick indeed!

I hope this post isn't viewed as blatant spam, and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers

Chris

Here is a link to Tims gallery re the factory fit Roof mounted fold down screen. Note it is only 9" but it does have the wireless headphones.
It retails at £1780.13 plus £234.98 for the non sunroof installation kit.

Thanks

I hate computers! Spent half an hour typing up a reply and when I pressed preview, it asked me to login again and lost all my typing....AAAGGHHH

And breathe........


Here goes again:

Headrest screen package 1
2 x 6.5" Veba screens (chosen specifically because they work well when viewed from below and RR Sports have very sloping headrests so most screens look awful for the kids!)
Veba DVD player
2 pairs of Veba headphones
Installed far beyond factory spec (we offer a lifetime warranty on all of our workmanship)
Usual price - £1600 inc VAT and installation
RRSport forum price - £1285

Headest screen package 2
As above but with 6 disk Veba DVD player
Usual price - £1950 inc VAT and installation
RRSport forum price - £1560


Roofscreen package 1 - non sunroof cars only
Alpine 10.4" roofscreen (very slick unit)
Alpine DVD player
2 pairs Alpine headphones
Usual price - £1450 inc VAT and installation
RRSport forum price - £1230

Roofscreen package 2
Twin Alpine 10.4" roofscreens (one either side)
Alpine DVD player
2 pairs Alpine headphones
Usual price £1995
RRSport forum price - £1680



Other options
NavTV interface to give DVD/PS2/TVand picture onto front screen - usual price - £950 inc VAT and installation - RRSport forum price - £835 (I have seen some people mention a price of £500 all in for this - I would love to know where they can get them at this price as that is well below what they cost us direct from NavTV!)

Slimline PS2 with BigCat Pro PSU and cordless controllers - usual price - £400 inc installation - RRSport forum price - £330

Freeview DVB TV tuner - Usual price - £650 inc VAT and installation - RRSport forum price - £545 inc VAT and installation (I know there is cheaper systems out there but they are generally rubbish!)


I have been asked a few questions about NavTVs reverse camera and iPod interfaces but at the moment I have no information or prices on these as yet. The DVD interface is 6 months later than first promised, so I wouldn't hold your breath!!

I do however, rate the Dension ICE Link FM very highly and also am looking at products from Monster and Harman at the moment.

Any qs, please fire away!!

Cheers

My question can you make the logic seven sound like the extra grand should, that you pay from new.  Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Quick question Chris,

On the Roofscreen Package 1 - if you add the NavTV option and Freeview DVB - will all this be available to view on the overhead Alpine screen as well as the front satnav screen? Does the sound utillise the existing Logic 7 set up or does the roofmount screen only output sound to the headphones?

Also is all your work carried out on site at your main premises or are you able to fit country wide ?

If you have not yet purchased a RRS, there are advantages of the costly "factory" RSE: Full touchscreen controls from front Navigation screen, including DVD control & rear screen controls, 5.1 channel DVD audio when playing through head unit (instead of downmixing to 2 channel stereo), 2 center console A/V inputs for rear passengers (game systems, etc.), Voice command to activate system, etc.

Prestige Audio, if you are ready for a challenge... you should consider buying the factory RSE bits from the parts department and offering an expensive "factory" RSE retrofit install. I'm sure someone would be willing to pay you for the grief. (This would not be "supported" by Land Rover, of course.)

In your pics the centre mount system shows interior lights on. Can or are these wired to the doors, if so it would improve the interior lighting in the rear and be worth it just for that.
Also what options are available for those of us with sunroofs. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment.

Hi,
Yes the lights come on with the interior lights - sadly the sunroof mechanism gets in the way of the roofscreen mountings so headrest screens would be needed.

We can always install some underseat neons and connect those to the interior lights !!

Joking aside, it wouldn't be too tricky to install some tasteful white LED lighting in the cars.

Im starting to like the sound/look of the roof mounted Alpine system.

Here is a few more of the Prestige Audio example fitted in the sport







Looks a neet slimline fit - a huge screen - extra interior lights included - plus option od DVD TV on front screen, I can see me having a word with Santa ....pretty please
