RR Touch screen sat nav DVD updates and iPod issues

I quite fancy updating the DVD(s) of the whole of Europe as it seems a little out of date but I don't fancy paying £150 plus for the priviledge.Has anyone found a solution to this at a more reasonable cost. Has anyone tried the third party Navteq compatible downloads? My RR is 2006 My should I be updating the firmware, if so how?

I also would like to plumb (hardwire as opposed to bluetooth or FM) my ipod classic to work using the touch screen and wheel controls so its out of sight. I don't mind losing the CD changer if I need to but frankly I am bamboozled by the options available which still don't tick all the boxes with each one compromising something unless I spend £500 notes plus.Hopefully there are some techies out there as I am so out my depth on this one .

I'd also like to hear some replies to this.



Very annoying is a few "nice" translation faults in the navigator when choosing Swedish as spoken language for the directions. Sometimes amusing, some is just plain annoying every time.



Further on Ipod. What about hardwiring of Iphone? Speaker and mike should be there already (voice control)?

I had a Parrot Mki9200 fitted.



Bluetooth and iPod (Touch). The iPod stays hidden and there is a little RC you can put anywhere you want. Installed at £200.



You however cannot use the controls on the steering wheel.

Assuming they are the same in the RR, Nick at Yeovil LR does new discs at £117 via the D3 forum and RRS forum - I am sure he would let you have one at the same price?

Do you get track , artist and playlist info listed on screen with the parrot . Can you still have the TV ? I am told anything I hard wire will lose the TV because all the accessory ports are used ,reversing cam,TV , Cd etc.?

PArrot has its own little display, so no display on car stereo.



I dont have TV, so not sure what happens there!
