What Radio have I got??
Guys
Please forgive me for what should be a simple thing to find out BUT can't!!!!
My hi line unit radio died, cd and aux works fine
So I bought a replacement off fleabay
Sold as in full working order but when I plugged it in it didnt work.....after many hours research and a very helpful local audio dealer, we discovered that reason it didnt work was the simple fact that I have a hi line Harman Karon system and the unit I bought was a Hi line NON Harmon Karwn system therefore wasnt compatible....even though it looked the same, had all the same buttons connectors on the back etc
NOW
I am stuck with a unit that is in full working order and need to re sell it via oor friends at ebay. I want to know more details on the unit
I know it came from a RRS 2007
But thats all
the model number on the front is CD 560
Part number is VUX 500510
I dont want to mislead anyone when I advertise it so
Is it a hiline
Is it a 6 disc unit or single disc
Is it comapitble with RRS and Disco 3
etc etc etc
Any info gratefully received
thanks again everyone
Clive
Ps I have added pics (I hope to aid your assistance)

Hiya Clive
In the custom of members helping others, i will certainly try to help you out as best i can with the few relative bits i have learned over the years.
First off i have discovered that there is a subtle difference in physicalities the front panels of head units for the D3 and RRS have in respect of the lower edge of the face plate panel one being square cornered and the other being rounded.
Where otherwise the units are electronically identical, i do believe that it is possible to swap these.
Only the D3 can have a single disk low line head unit that has its Audio amplication built into the head unit itself providing the same two connectors you have, but no Fibre optic most bus connection that supports additions like an external Amplifier or Blue tooth module.
Otherwise the D3 has a six disk head unit with a MOST bus connection that supports one of two seperate MOST bus Amp types and all other accessories.
However on the RRS, i have encounterd something of an in between Head unit which is what i believe you have here.
It is a six disk head unit that looks like a High line unit and has a MOST bus connection for accessories like the Blue Tooth Phone unit but provides built in amplification and feed to the speakers just like the D3 Low line unit does.
If refitted with a D3 Hi line facia, from a broken unit (as you have hint hint) i believe this unit represents a way for D3 owners with a Low Line Head unit a way to upgrade form single to six disc, add MOST bus accessories to their vehicles like the BT module, without having to add an external Amp, change all their speakers and door cards etc and all associated re wiring.
I hope this helps

Help me !
My discovery 3 6 CD player displays "CD Error". I just bought a Range Rover Sport CD player CD-560 (year 2005) for swap.
Pins are similars. Optical fiber is present.
I tried to connect him, but just a little sound on the speakers.
The GPS screen is ok, but no voice.
I have an IIDtool, but how to configure this device on my car? It's really possible ?
I have a basic GS with single CD player. I’m after one of these as it has the MOST optic cable and built in amp so I can get a D4 sat nav working in my D3.

Well then it will work but you will need to change the facia as the RRS one is deeper as the heater controls are mounted about 10-15mm lower. Yes there is a MOST connection on the back but I never connected it to anything
Yeah I know I’ll need to change the facia to make it fit. I want it so I can connect D4 sat nav and Bluetooth to it as you can’t with the basic head unit out of the GS. Do you have one your willing to part with??

Sorry no I don’t. I’ve a 6 cd unit that I need to put back together and make sure it’s working before selling it. Have you seen a CD 560 working a sat nav or Phone? Just because it has a physical MOST connection doesn’t mean it’s actually working. Do any of the RRS with the CD560 have the screen and/or phone, if yes then it should work. I tried putting a 6CD changer from a CD 465 into a CD 560 as internally they are almost identical but it wouldn’t work.
Re. the front there are plenty of 6CD broken stereos for sale and the entire front will swap across fairly easily, either just the plastic front or including the screen and board, Also as long as the buttons are there it’s easy to fix a button that has stopped working ie a one that is hanging loose and not working but still hinged correctly.
Yes it should work. Jonny Hill on here and the Facebook group has done all this and made it work so following his instructions. He tried to get the six disc system to work with it as well but couldn’t. I’m not bothered by only having one cd. More interested in the built in amp and MOsT connection

Niick do you have a link to those instructions? I’m interested in doing the same in my GS when I can source the parts.
If you search D4 sat nav in D3 you’ll find it. It was written by Flack I think. It has about 50 pages of peoples commments. Jonny Hill is on there using a Cd560 head unit as he had a basic GS as well.

Thanks for the offer, but my CD 560 isn’t coming out of my dash. I put a complete front of a CD 465 on to it. I do have a complete (must put it back together) 6 CD 465 surplus but that is of no use to you if you had the single CD 400
