Hello all, I just purchased a 2016 Td6 should have it in a week or so. Its replacing my tired but trusty 2005 LR3 that just ticked over 250k. I was pretty active on disco3 and did quite a bit with the LR3. After a bit of poking around this seems to be one of the more active RR forums. Took me a while to find what I wanted, wanted a Diesel with adaptive cruise control with black interior. Adaptive cruise seems to pretty rare, really wanted to get an 2017 for the infotainment upgrade but after 8 months of looking came across a 2016 Black on black that checked the boxes and was a pretty good deal price wise so pulled the trigger.
Hopefully you guys can help me out with a few questions. I figured I'd pile them all into one.
- I know the infotainment is one of the biggest draw backs on the 13-16 range. I've read about a few upgrades on here but some of the threads are pretty old. Is there any final verdict on the best upgrade (for use with iphone)?
- I'm not sure if the one I got comes prewired for a trailer. It spent its previous life as a one owner lease in CA so I'm guessing not. I used an online service for the purchase and they couldn't tell me. I'm looking for the 7pin/flat four pin combo, is there any chance my LR3 one will wire connector wise? I know the mounting probably wont. I also have a brake controller on the LR3 any chance that will work as well? If no to either any recommendations on where to get one?
- Lastly and this is just a wild curiosity as I will not likely wheel the RR like I did the LR3, the most it might see is some dune driving. Has anyone installed a hidden winch? I installed on on my LR3 and will probably remove it before I sell it. It was actually pretty useful for pulling the random stuck motorist out of a ditch, stuck trucks on boat ramp and other random things like yard work.
Thanks for any input. -Joe
