daveo,
Don't feel bad, you really are doing very well, and in truth, very few can ever hope to follow my pace and thirst for knowledge. I do tend to be a little bit out there

As i have said, it's just great for me to have a group 2 guy on board here at all.
You are deffo going the right way and i certainly appreciate your willingness to host any Ebay traffic i might need. That will come in handy for us both.

It really pees me off when EBAY folks are so dead against sending stuff abroad. Guess we have the Nigerian Black dollar scam to thank for that huh.

daveo, I dunno if you have ever heard of the Infamous D3 techno legend known as Wiggs, but from the first moment you posted to me, i strongly suspected that you may well have the potential to possibly become something of an FFRR version,  2003 4.4 HSE

"Out there"

Now there's an understatement if ever there was one.

Adrian (Wiggs) is another. Great guy, one of the best. He introduced me to the BBS products when doing a small mod on my D3 in exchange for some wheels. One only has to take a look at his Sankey based "camping trailer" to understand his fanaticism and for those who haven't see the thread, you need a large drink, about an hour and this link

Oh, whilst I think about it Colin, you have PM regarding OBD2 compatibility etc.

Dom

Cheers for that link Dom Although it was closer to 2 hours and 3 beers

Even the 2009 Models still have an I-Bus in them scarey

Errm, Yea Scarey.
sorry to be a while replying, i thought it might actually be a rhetorical question

If it's still got an I-Bus, albeit with fewer ECU's on, you can still use I-Bus interface hardware and software to access them.

BTW, i am still awaiting the arrival of my main parts consignment of four boxes totalling 22 KG's to continue this project, the tracking info tells me it spent 4 days shopping in Paris before being returned to stanstead

I did get my Logic 7 woofer with its Amp and a front door Bass speaker from the states. The woofer is quite some nice looking beast, and the speaker seemed fine, tested and measured out, although the Amp is not as it should be. I might yet be asking for your offered help Dom, but at the same time might be able to help you and anyone else avoid a possible potential future prob with your Logic 7 woofer amp which is what is after all its all about  2003 4.4 HSE

just confirming ...i'm trying to get my head round what things i can do with the navcoder..  ... - .- -.

Not used it myself Scarey, i do have some of the good Docs HW though, i really do like his style.
And i am a member (just an occasional reader though) of the "Hack the I-BUS" group.

Giving it a name, makes it sound posh, but in reality its really just 9600 baud serial data at TTL (5V) voltage levels and logic. It has a master to keep it all in sync and under control. We can easily and readily access this with our existing system hardware and i would like to do that and add any extra features possible over the I-BUS that you can't do over the regualr diagnostic access route using the Ipack as a gateway.
My only interest otherwise is for my later wheel controls conversion project.

Pre built hardware does not cost much, and Navcoder is readily availiable for trial so you dont have much to loose on trying it.

On another note, i am setting up a special little micro web site for this project to fully detail everything in one place such that everyone will be able to use it for any future reference.
It should be live soon. 2003 4.4 HSE

Hiyas All.

Well, I have been really really busy on this project and have ultimately figured out all the connectivity, so today i got the whole infotainment system wired up and connected on the bench. :dance:
Diagnostically, we can communicate with the respective modules, and in the morning we will use the MSV-2 to program it all up and hopefully get it working as a complete set. 2003 4.4 HSE

That's really great news Colin. Ahem, pics please

Do you have the part numbers for the looms etc, better still, a complete list of part numbers ?? Cheeky I know. Oh, got your email as well thanks. Just been rather busy acquiring myself a new job If you would let your chap know I want the unit please.... Will be in France as of Friday for 8 days. Can paypal the money across though.

Anyway, what I have so far is:
YMW503292 - Telephone loom
YMW506920 - ICE/NAV Low Spec loom
YMW502891 - Fibre Optic.

So I'm guessing the ICE/NAV Low Spec needs replacing with another one for "High Spec". Then add the TMC and DVD modules for the NAV and a wee tickle with the MSV-2 should see it work. Not entirely sure how far the NAV loom will go though. I haven't had the seats out yet, only the boot area.

One thing which confuses me though. The ICE/NAV Low Spec loom. Although I have no Navigation I do have the HK Logic-7 which would be "High Spec" surely ??

As a by the by, would you happen to know what the green wires up the pillars are for in this pic?

Just a teaser shot someone asked for.
Thought you might like to see it all connected up on the bench

How cool is that !!!

You even have the rear seat entertainment. Nice. Trying to make out which unit is which. I can see the TMC, the Nav DVD, the CD changer, looks like another DVD unit, possibly a TV module as well? I'm wondering what the small grey box in front of the screen is (on top of the Cd changer)

Oh, you have PM.

Dom.

nice one colin,, looks like you are having fun.. thats my kind of project..i would get such a buzz if that if that was on my table, i am of to the landrover show this weekend, may be you should make a list of bits you need and any ony one following your project may come across any parts. as i said i am of to the show if you want me to look out for any thing pm me with your mobile and i can text you if i find any thing

It looks nicer when it is all programmed up and all working to the degree you can even play DVD's through the rear screens on it.

Very neat!

Do the rear seat screens have a regular video input? Could they be used with a generic dvd player?
