| Retrofit a OEM navigationsystem to a SE |
|
Hi everyone, Newbie question
I’m driving a 2004 Touareg R5 TDI at present time, when I bought it I also tried out the LR3, the VOLVO XC90 along with the VW Touareg, the Touareg felt right at that time, but now I’m reconsidering buying a LR3, mainly due to the bigger load space and the optional 7 seats (and the Jaguar V6-engine).
So to cut to the bone – the price tag on the SE versus the HSE is huge in Denmark, after a search I found that it is stated that it not possible to retrofit an OEM navigation system to a SE. Is this true – it’s quite easy in the VW Touareg – all you need is a laptop computer and the appropriate software to tell the cars computer a NAVI has been fitted – this is not the case in the LR3?
Thx
Peter

Thought the SE had sat nav.
If mine didn't then i wouldn't fit the LR one as most aftermarket systems are better i think.

Welcome to D3 Peter 
I think it can be done, but there are certain 'bits' that are factory fitted and are cost prohibitive as a retrofit. I'm sure someone will come along soon and give a better explanation.
It has been discussed at length a couple of years ago IIRC

There was a certain dealer who was convinced they could do it... ordered & fitted all of the hardware, MOST bus, overlay looms etc. then contacted LR Engineering for the 'go code' LR Eng. said no way, that's a specification change  said dealer then removed all the kit they'd fitted and had a  explanation session with the customer.... To date, even Autologic haven't cracked this one

Thx, the SE-version in Denmark doesn’t have the SAV-NAV… The option of going non OEM won’t give me the off-road-display  – witch I like, have a similar function in the Touareg - displaying the orientation off the front wheels
Best Regards

you should get an indication of wheel angle in the instrument pack once a TR mode other than 'General' is selected

offroad indications is only via premium satnav on UK HSE models or as an upgrade over standard OEM fitted units in lesser models. I have the factory fitted unit as an option fitted to mine, but do not have the offroad info

Thx 10forcash,
Wow, this is not my definition of customer care  - So I may have to go for a HSE  to get the OEM system
Thanks for all the fast replies

Customer care & marketing are mutually exclusive, whatever the marque
