You wouldn't be able to have the two screens in the Defender if that is what you mean? Due to the layout. The features it has though is possible. If you go double DIN you can have all of that including DAB or if you go single DIN you can have it all except the DAB. I know I don't know why they don't start making the single DIN units with DAB built in.
If you want similar go aftermarket don't try and go for the same kit as it is likely Eqoque specific and you'd probably pay twice as much to cap it off. (And it won't fit) Also with the 2DIN option you'd need a new dash.  Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

Cheers.
The RR unit is a single screen albeit a double din effort. Appreciate it wouldn't fit without major mods but would be nice to have something installed that looks like it belongs if you get my drift. Will have to look at DD as like the screen size for the SAt Nav which makes it all a bit clearer. Any suggestions on a suitable unit that anyone has tried and used? Price point not a major issue as prefer to pay upfront for a decent unit that does all I want rather than a cheap unit that might not last! Chris B 2012 USW X Tech |

Has the RR got the Harman Kardon system in it? An engine to TDi for!

I apologise I just realise your talking about a RR not an Evoque.
 Sorry. I can advise on a double DIN HU but I have not actually tried any so can only advise on what I actually have myself although a different model the features will be more or less the same. I reckon if you don't mind the costs and you want everything in one unit then double DIN is the way to go.
Have a look at these: http://www.justkenwood.co.uk/shop-online.aspx/multimedia Bear in mind prices are for everything in one. Also some of them are used by the Colt Car Company (Mitsubishi) so the TOTR Shogun has these built in among some other models. Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ β½οΈπ’οΈβοΈπ§°πͺ |

Just been looking for a single DIN with everything - as you say, it doesn't seem to exist! |

Just seem to discontinue them instead.
 Really stupid IMO the Defender at first was only capable of accepting 1 DIN until the 2 DIN dashes arrived. We're now lucky enough to have the option of both but in some cars there is no option but 1 DIN or not at all...
So what are they trying to say..... They have to have HU's with a 2" faceplate screen as the KIV or forget a screen all together.  Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

I would still go for the KVT526 if it was me though. Everything is capable on there except one thing. DAB.
 Doesn't worry me as I don't use it anyway but none the less.. Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

Are you referring to the Range Rover L322, Range Rover Sport or something else?
In the Full Fat Range Rover L322 model (New shape is the L405), the Harmon Kardon Logic 7 system is brilliant. However it is designed to fit into the car and the dash. Most of the control systems are in the boot, and it's operated via the touch screen (in 2006MY) and then was upgraded in the 2010MY cars. This is different to the first model RRS, which uses the D3 green screen (rubbish IMHO) If you are interested I can post the pages from the Rave manual to show the components. I doubt you'd make it fit. 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

One of my current options is the KVT526 + Bluetooth + Nav + Camera. Shame about the DAB though... The other choices are DNX7230 in double DIN adapter (but only if the switches can be moved with no cutting!) or a Garmin Dezl 760 with a camera input... All have pros/cons, so can't make up my mind! |

Like mine then although on the bulkhead instead. I would imagine they have a Sat Nav unit for taking the mapping discs too there? (Only around £160 usually a year per update disc) Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

Go for the 526.   I didn't go for the Navi myself though as the costs were so high but it is using Garmin software for the Nav and Parrot for the BT. Can't get much better than that! Chillin In The Backwoodsπ¬π§πΊπΈ

Its a 2012 RR Sport Autobiography with the Logic 7 system. Its a great system as you say and yes it's dash mounted with seperate CD mounted below. Didn't realistically expect to be able to fit this in the Defender without major mods but something with similar functionality would be great. Like the idea posted elsewhere of the modified dash to suit a double din. Not sure how much difference it would make but just looks more like its meant to be. Im a fan of DAB due to the number of stations you can't get on FM/AM such as 5livesportsXtra etc. Thats more imporatant than Ipod / CD etc. Reversing camera is a useful addition as well. My lad inisist it must have a TV receiver as well but don;t see much use myself! Chris B 2012 USW X Tech |

They did up to the 2010MY cars (09 plate onwards) as they had the HDD version. 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |
