The double DIN approach would be best I think although its a lot more expensive. You can get a dash face plate http://www.handtec.co.uk/c2-autoleads-land...ApbV8P8HAQ like this that allows you to relocate the switchgear to accommodate the larger unit. Most of them seem to be around the 300 mark.
As for the unit itself their are a couple out there from both Pioneer and Alpine (and others possibly) that will take a rear camera input. If you've got an iPhone I would look for a Carplay compatible device as it allows you to mirror many of the apps on this iPhone on the stereo screen. Something like this from Alpine would be my choice http://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/app-link-station3807/ilx-700 or this from Pioneer http://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/sph-da120 There are many more out there from both of the above that are also double DIN if you use Android or want in-built satnav etc. One tip though, the stock speakers from LR are rubbish and the size makes replacing them with better bass response speakers almost impossible so go for a separate subwoofer as a minimum even if you choose not to add an amplifier. Both Pioneer and Alpine have a sub that fits nicely on the back of the cubby box. In my car I replaced the front speakers with a set of Pioneer TS-E1002i and the rear with TS-E1302i and fitted a Pioneer TS-WX120A subwoofer on the back of the cubby box. The head unit is a simple single DIN Pioneer DEH-X8700DAB and the sound is great. Mine was all done on a budget and is by no means the best system but for the money I had to spend it gives me handsfree phone, allows me to listen to Spotify, has DAB and the sound is excellent. Others on here will no doubt tell you their preference but at the end of the day its down to how much money you've got and what functions/capabilities you need. Best of luck! ------------------------------- 👲🏻 1986 ex-Military 90 NAD 2.5 Soft Top. Sold 🇬🇧 2015 Defender 90 - Ripon Landrover Heritage 006 |

I have a double din in my Urban Truck.
Urban did a top job, I have the Pioneer Car Play unit in mine. I do not have a reversing camera, but Urban do install them. http://www.houseofurban.co.uk/store/c55/FITTED_PACKAGES.html Cheers Simon I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you 1990 110 TD5 county, my first Land Rover - gone 2012 Discovery 4 XS SDV6 - gone 2014 Discovery 4 XS SDV6 - gone 2015 Evoque SD4 dynamic - Wife’s - gone 2015 Urban Truck 90 XS Santorini Black Hard Top - Reluctantly gone 2020 Discovery 5 Eiger Grey 3.0 SE - gone March 24 2021 Defender S D250 Santorini Black 110 HT - gone March 24 2023 Evoque P300e SE wife’s current vehicle |
