Is there anyway to have the LR3 (HK, no Nav) head unit control an iPod? Any kit or anything out there?

 

Based on the number of responses I'll venture a guess and say no...

 

Land Range Rover Sport LR3 LR2 Genuine OEM Factory Ipod Connection

 

I'd call them to be sure, but it looks like this is the current model:

Land Rover Parts - Land Rover Parts Center - Call (800) 574-9217 for Genuine Land Rover Parts and Accessories

They aren't cheap. There is probably something aftermarket that will work. I know grom makes them for older rovers.

 

How about that!

 

This is the best Made for iPhone Kit I found so far: Land Rover 04 13 4in1 Bluetooth Handsfree USB iPhone iPod Streaming Audio Kit | eBay
It is only $300 and does everything I need, handsfree, streaming, phone, phone book, USB, speech and iPod. Better than OEM kit. Also docs are at mCAR Multimedia Interface - Land Rover

 

Or you could just install an aftermarket head unit with built in Bluetooth and iPhone input for half that. I sell and install 12v, and recently put this JVC ( http://mobile.jvc.com/product.jsp?mo...thId=54&page=1) in a customers D2. Even at retail price this deck provides more features, functions and expandability then adding to the OEM unit does. This deck is $140 + $20 for wire harness and $20 for kit. Additionally, with the difference you could upgrade either the speakers or the amp.

 

How would you tie that in to the fibre optics?

 

Ugh... I forgot about that. I'm used to mostly doing D2 and Range.

OK, so in that case this will work better.
