it's definitely your forte Mr W and theeeeennn......???
The long LR part # was for a switch kit that came with the original iPod unit (I think)
To allow control from the steering wheel.
Did you have to add anything to your steering wheel to control the iPod?
(I have audio controls and phone controls on my steering wheel)

no if you have the audio and 'phone controls then it should be fine. The loom that comes in the kit just interrupts these at the back of the head unit, there is no ipod control or display on the head unit though it's only controlled via the steering wheel controls and theeeeennn......???
Ta very muchly - might be a decent upgrade then 08 LR3 SE V8 - 02 D2 SE7 V8

yes it is the LR Ipod kit, the connectore in the pic go bag to a small black box so you could only have the usb connection showing if required but it only comes as a complete kitand theeeeennn......???
