    Poor man’s CarPlay installed

    Here's some pics. I flipped the arm of the suction cup around as well-seems to be a better angle for getting it lower on the dash. Next is to find a small Land Rover emblem on some black film to place over the logo on the display.

    Poor man’s CarPlay installed

    I mounted it to the dash with suction cup-so far it seems ok but I need to see how the heat affects it-if that doesn't work, I am going to try the adhesive pad. The front of the screen rests on the edge of the dash and I added small diameter adhesive rubber weather stripping to the bottom of the...

    Poor man’s CarPlay installed

    Just an update-got this set up today. It works pretty well and had no problem pairing. Not sure what issues you are having with audio playback, DiscoLR4, but mine is just as good as any other source-sounds fine. Maybe you got a bad cable or its not pushed into the Aux input all the way? I did...

    Poor man’s CarPlay installed

    Thanks for that info. I would be using an iPhone. My main reason for getting this thing was for music-so I am going to see if it makes sense for me. Did you mount it on the dash above the nav screen?

    I ordered the same unit-after looking at various other install options. I was curious if you had any updates. Mine comes today.

    New Recall Alert : Fuel System

    Happened to me two years ago-smelled gas outside around the back end. This went on for a day or so then took it to the dealer for "repair". No warning lights. Just FYI for others who have had this "repaired", this with the old part, so your vehicle still needs to be repaired correctly. I called...

    Got rear ended..

    That car looks like a write off to me. Happened to me in my LR3 about 5 years ago. The car that hit me was totaled and all I needed was a new hitch cover. Its amazing how well these trucks are built. I hope everyone is OK.

    New Discovery Sport

    Like it better than the current LR2 but its not for me. I like that the LR4 still has some styling elements that say "truck". You know this won't last and it will soon be like every other another "melted jelly bean" crossover on the roads.

    Vibration from front end

    Has the shop checked the wheel bearings and front end for any bad bushings or loose parts, including suspension? If thats all OK, the tires could be the issue due to uneven wear and possibly age as tires can get hard and cause more noise and vibration. My BFG AT's made a lot of ruckus as they...

    Custom RC LR3

    Thanks! Appreciate the feedback, thank you! I couldn't begin to say as a lot of hours went into creating the chassis and sourcing drive train parts (its a big hobby of mine). The toy that I used for the body can still be found on eBay every once in a while.

    Custom RC LR3

    Slightly off topic but somehow related, I built this a while ago and just got it out again to run it around. The body started off as a toy 1/10 scale LR3 by Rastar but i ditched the drive train and added a custom built with chassis with hobby grade components, custom steel frame and a bunch of...
