RRS & D3 - ECU/Electrical similarities?

Hi guys, hoping I've posted this query in the correct section.

I'm currently in the market for a 2006/07 RRS after the unfortunate loss of my Q7 last month. Seen some lovely examples but being held back by a small issue....the vehicle will need to be fitted with adapted hand controls.

More specifically, the item is a "Ring accelerator" which taps into the cars electrics and on to the throttle allowing the driver to accelerate using a metal ring fitted behind the steering wheel.

The supplying company say they have fitted one to a Discovery 3 in the past but never to an RRS. They haven't ruled out the possibility of it working, but cannot guarantee the cars ECU will accept the mod.

My question is how similar are the electronics (and more specifically the drive by wire system) in the RRS & D3?


Kindly appreciate any help or advice!

Sag Very Happy

Thanks Martin Smile I did think as much but nice to be certain.

More digging today churned up a host a companies that have adapted RRS's in the past, so looks like all systems go Smile
