Hi Gents,

Quick one, if I may : at what point what the touch screen sat nav introduced ? I'm thinking the 06 revision, but when exactly was that ? what's the easy way to identify one ?

thanks,
JJ

Visual cues include a deeper front bumper and three-row grille, new lights fore and aft, larger gills to aid engine-compartment breathing, and a revised A-pillar and laminated front door glass to reduce noise. Supercharged models can be identified by 20-inch wheels, clear taillight lenses, a mesh grille, and silver-on-black logos.

In addition to the engine change, the 2006 Range Rover is equipped with an updated "infotainment" system. This includes a touch screen with on and off-road navigation, radio, CD, telephone, rear view camera, a wireless video camera system and other additional features all accessed via the same user interface. The audio system is Harman Kardon Logic7 surround sound. Also available is a DVD rear seat entertainment which is fully integrated.

This system is linked by an industry-standard fibre optic network known as Media Oriented Systems Transport or MOST and an electronic network system known as CAN. A similar system is also used on Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Sport.

Suppliers for the 2006 Range Rover's components include Continental Automotive for the complete cockpit module which incorporates the DENSO Corporation touch screen navigation unit. Continental also supply the centre console unit. Other suppliers include Alpine car audio for integrated head unit rear seat entertainment. Connaught Electronics Limited (CEL) provides the rear view camera (RVC) and wireless camera (VentureCam) systems and PTI telephone capabilities are provided by Nokia.

In the UK the first touch screen satnav became available in 2004 54 registered cars.

This was pre-facelift which came about in 2005 05 registrations, but was earmarked as the 2006MY. A facelift car will have a VIN range beginning with 6A********* THE INVENTOR OF THE TERM "FULL-FAT RANGE ROVER" :
