It has none of the sweet functions of the Jaguar’s implementation. It’s novel, I’ll give it that, but it’s not all that functional in practice. Yes, it could be so much better, but I still love this truck. The layouts have strange control schemes, many of the menu’s only have one option, and the navigation looks like something from a department store GPS. The system isn’t missing anything per se, but is just poorly designed. The whole user interface feels a bit off. See, the center LCD screen that controls media functions and navigation feels like a carry-over from a 2008-ish vehicle and that’s not good considering this 2010 Range Rover prices out north of $100k. Even though the infotainment stack is antiquated and the LCD dash cluster is nothing more than a novelty, the rest of the vehicle more than makes up for these letdowns. Often these creature comforts can make or break a vehicle.

Can't really see the point though especially as my DVD changer plays DVD audio mp3's with menusĪndy. a long long time ago.(2001-2004) I recall that towards the end of ownership the issue of CD Text was a hot topic on the forums, I think Dan is partly correct but I am sure you needed a newer CD changer too as this was another possible upgrade that I orginally planned for my FFRR. It has built in amps (35w per channel) so will work without an external amp.įrom my dark and merky past when I had an X5. It has simple normal radio like functions for sound tone etc. It also interacts with the MK3/MK4 nav computers and TV module for the display part of the radio function (so you "see" the radio stations) and had RDS and TP It has 2 tuners (1 for radio and 1 for TMC), it decodes the TMC signal and interacts with the MK3/MK4 nav computers for TMC info and dynamic routing (if 2005->), it also allows the system to read the TMC messages and display them on screen.Įach tuner has its own antenna feed (although it only has 1 antenna lead), and some have the diversity antenna option. It is the Radio module, it also acts as the switching unit for the phone, nav, cd changer and AUX device. The BM54 is the hub of the cars audio system. One of the bigger benefits though is the "Dynamic Routing" that the Nav will now do. This also means you could upgrade to the MP3 changer now too. The CD changer is already CD text compatible, it needs the later (like wot u have) BM54 to be able to display though. 2006 Mercedes CLSīut really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C. Not sure about the CD text bit though, I would have thought that would be controlled by the CD changer not the radio module, I'll give it a whirl though.īest bit is, after buying all the bits, I'm still £30 or £40 in profit!Īll thanks to Ajay for the heads up about it. I've made it so the dock connector is poking out from the side of the gear lever trim, plugged the cable into a USB cigarette lighter adapter inside the cubby box, so when I plug my phone in, it now charges it and plays simultaneously and I get good sound quality, much better than an fm modulator, cost less than an Intravee setup and I still get to keep my CD changer. Yeah, swapped the radio tuner for a BMW version of the BM54 2003>, ordered the BMW aux input cable from BMW that plugs into the radio tuner, this gives you a 4th option on the source selection, Radio>CDC>Tape>Aux, extended the cable to the centre console, bought one of these leads. Daveo wrote: ok so lets get this clear, you swapped your old bm54 for a later one, this gave you an aux in so you could use your iphone, as dan said, it should support cd text.i take it after the swap you had an extra loom that connected to the radio and then gave you a 3.5 jack plug.
