I would do 23 to 24mpg on a run in my D3 V8 4.4 on Duratracs so I would expect a little more out of the Defender as its quite high geared

I was going to say. I can get 21 US mpg if I stick to 55mph and below, but it’s usually 18 or lower with my lead foot.

You should be able to plug your iPod into one of the USB sockets in the front centre console. Apple CarPlay won't work but you can control playback from the media controls on the Pivi Pro screen.

Other than charging the ipod there is no connection from any of the USB sockets unless the ipod has Bluetooth which mine don't  Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free

Had a 300 mile round trip last week and was sticking to the UK speed limit of 70mph and averaged 22.3mpg which is as good as I think I'm going to get for a while until the engine has covered more miles and loosened off a bit  Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free

Having the 11.4" screen makes fitting the Brodit dash mount difficult so looking for an alternative and hope Brodit will come up with a different design as even if it did fit when the phone is mounted it sits too close to the indicator stalk for comfort!

Oh I just ordered the Brodit holder, but my Defender will be fitted with the 11.4" screen (though I didn't order that one)

Perhaps this will do it: phone and/or can holder, fixed with a bolt

My bad. I'd read in the iGuide that iPods would work. Just tried it using a redundant iPod nano (Gen7), needless to say it wouldn't show up.

Having now read the iGuide properly, it says:

Quote:

Compatible portable devices include:
USB mass storage devices, e.g., a memory stick. Devices must use NTFS or FAT32.
Apple iPod devices using a lightning connector: iPad, iPod Touch, iPod Mini and iPhone Gen5 onward are supported. Full functionality for older devices cannot be guaranteed. iPod Classic Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, Gen4, Gen5, Gen6; iPod Nano Gen1, Gen2, Gen3, Gen4, Gen5, Gen6, Gen7 and iPod Shuffle are not supported.

 Current vehicle: 2020 Defender 110S
Gone: Defender 90 HT 200Tdi, Discovery Sport, Freelander 2
