How does the retrofit kit work? Does it go where the official LR one goes?
I now have a Range Rover, but wondering if a similar retrofit is available as there appears to be a blanked out place for ... |

| Yes, I really miss the sunglasses holder in my Defender. Never really understand why this feature was dropped from so many newer Land Rovers. |

If it’s any use to you. This is a P300 7 seater. Mileage is on the higher side. But it’s HSE spec and 7 seats. I’ve driven this one, it’s got everything you could want.

| The soft close rear door is surprisingly useful when your boot is packed full of luggage (as mine often is in my 90!) and you need to avoid anything falling out. |

This happened to mine a while back. Was about to book it into the dealer, when I tried it again after a short journey and it worked fine.

Just confirming that the Apple CarPlay maps do not appear in the HUD.
The dash integration though is very impressive. I think this will switch me back to Apple from the LR sat nav. |

| Thanks for the reply. To be honest, the HUD map / directions is not that helpful as it's very small. Just getting the info in the driver's display is a big win. |

Great to read this thread. My car has updated, but I didn't notice the Apple CarPlay sat nav integration as I've been using the Defender's sat nav for this very reason.
Wonder if the Apple info sh ... |

The matrix lights on my Defender are a lot better than the similar system on my L405 Range Rover. I actually thought that was pretty impressive, but the Defender's system is a lot smoother.

There's no warning light on the dash to tell you the DRL has failed. I only figured it out when I caught sight of the car's reflection in a shop window as I made a U turn.
I also plan on keeping t ... |
