Really good.

It's Android or Apple (my wife has Apple).

Very happy with it, and saves need for GPS antenna.

Only ball ache was lengthening a few switches.

Good security mod, however as most scroats these days carry a set of security bits so might be a good idea to fill the heads with an epoxy metal. Even though rear doors hinges are harder to remove due to the nylock nut it is still a good idea. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Love this wheel! Looks great! is it factory?

I have the MOMO Jet steering wheel - Very comfortable. I think I prefer it to the original Saturn ring that Land Rover fitted. The large one with the tumour looking lump in the center (but then again, when I got mine, it was filthy, and I mean disgustingly filthy, there was no way the garage even attempted to clean the truck before putting it on sale.. it was soaked with oil, mud, dog grease, and very smelly! Im no clean royal and love nothing more than camping in the dirt and cant shower for a week, but the steering wheel was horrendous Rolling with laughter )

very pleased with it, its just a shame I could get the center cap on the Optimill Boss. Regards

Thanks. No, the wheel is by Startech. I think given the price of it, it is maybe made of stars!

If I remember correctly, the wheels Startech sell are from the UK, JE MotorWorks.
I can find out exactly if anyone is interested.

This is the wheel mine came with, startech. It has Land Rover stamped on it and I was told it was a factory special option. Not true then? It’s nice but never driven a Defender with anything else so can’t compare...

I would not have know if it was original or aftermarket tbh. It looks completely original and suits the style of the cab completely so I would have been none the wiser. Having just looked up the prices of these 2nd hand I think I better drive with gloves on from now on!

There were some European special editions that included the Startech wheel. Never fitted by LR in the UK though. Darren
