United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black

Limited.......

Have a search it has been covered quite a few times. Basically in a nutshell there is the LR dension based system (dension gateway wont work because its a MOST system)

Or a ipod cable running to the aux socket (if you have one)

Or FM transmitter.

Thats about it. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Damn!!, not what I wanted to hear.
Still I also read the CD changer can read MP3s, can you put different folders etc on them and select within the CD or do you need to make one long playlist?, I think I will just go for that option as it doesn't have an AUX cable and FM transmitters are rubbish.

New Zealand 2010 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 SC V8 Galway Green

My 4.2 SC is a 05 built MY 2006 and although the manual said MP3 worked, I never got it working. Must have been one of those manual things (like the flip key it didn't have) where the manual is ahead of the actual car.

The MP3 is only supposed to be a single layer of folders, names not too long etc. but again, never got it working on mine, so suggest to test it with one CD first and not burn 6 (like I did) and then another 6 with the "correct" folder structure. It can take multiple folder layers according to the manual but the indexing becomes slow.

Tried the BT/FM route and it is crap (Tunelink). Aux cable worked on the 4.2 but not great, although if you leave an old iPod or MP3 player in there permanently, you should be fine. Not great but OK. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I saved mp3s into album folders and that works fine, reads the titles and track names ok.

Has to be mp3 though, cant burn native itunes formats such as acc and mp4, so can mow up the computer with mp3 copies of tracks.

Works fine and yo can get 7-10 cds onto a disc so works but takes a bit of time to put together. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

2016 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Corris Grey

I'd put in a Parrot MKi9200 which has an Ipod input connection on it. The install isn't the easiest on an RR as you have to run the cable to the amp in the boot, not to the screen, but a good installer won't have any problems putting it in. Current Fleet:-

Scotland 2005 Range Rover Autobiography Td6 Java Black

I tried the mp3 route and it's ok but it doesn't read some of the track titles, maybe cos of copy of copy stuff. But it does work. I fitted a parrot to my wife's X3 and she loves it. The thing is you buy a car that cost feck off money new and it is five years behind the euro or Asian stuff. Buy an mf transmitter and stick the iPod to your dash with it. Trust me it is the least of your worries, my amp has gone twice and I am driving an Autobiography with a portable radio as my sound system. I have heard of people removing the CD player and using that input but maybe not on this forum? Do a google search it may pick up summit.
