England 2006 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Zambezi Silver

Hi I have the PURE DAB which I think is basically the same unit. When I fitted in my previous car I had to use a SOT lead and aerial adaptor. Will I need these for the Range Rover (2006 MY V* Vogue and touch screen Nav unit). If so would appreciate details of the leads needed and where best to obtain. Also where is the aerial to link into for the FM feed to the Radio/Nav unit.

Do I have to take out the screen unit (if so tips/procedure would be appreciated) or is the aerial connection somewhere else.

I have the stick on screen and active DAB aerial but and really looking at as a way to use my ipod classic as happy with the performance in my old vehicle.

Thanks for any advice as one of the first jobs I need to tackle.

Sorry, I have no idea what a SOT lead is, so can't help.

I didn't connect connect the FM antenna, since here's a perfectly good FM tuner built into the car! Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

On my PURE there is a lead that feeds the digital feed into the FM aerial of the car's stereo for a better signal rather than just transmitting, I don't think that the PURE transmits without plugging in to the car's FM wire (unless you have a aux to use the line out) which as far as I know I don't (unless it iis hidden behind the dash).

The SOT leads act as an interface between the digital box and the original stereo to provide power etc.

Is there an aerial input on the back of the sat nav screen unit or just in the boot with the other boxes? There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

One last question. Where did you pick up the perm & switched feeds and how did you route the Digital aerial
Up to the screen?

Thanks

I picked up the supplies from the front fuse box, which is behind the lower glove box. The antenna viable is easily routed up the A pillar, but be very careful as their is an airbag behind the plastic cover, so it might be best to disconnect the battery and leave for around 15 minutes before you start removing it. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Did you use piggy back fuse holders and if so what number fuses did you use.

I think that I will have to find a local installer (Stevenage or Essex) who can either fit my PURE unit or supply and fit the Alpine unit as not too happy about hacking in to fuse boxes etc... Any suggestions of local (preferable mobile installers) There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

Having decided to hang on with my trusty FF - there being very, very few newer petrol engine cars in my price range in any event - got one of these fitted. I showed the fitter where to mount the unit by showing him the first picture in this thread.

Absolutely brilliant and a real bonus to connect my iPod from which the sound is better than I dared hope. Only sorry I didn't do it years ago!
