Interesting, but I’m sure that TPM was available, at least on later model G’s, it is in the handbook as an option. I’ve actually got a technical enquiry in with Lambo to see if it is a available as a retro fit to mine. This weekend I noticed that the standard TPMS warning symbol, tyre with exclamation mark, is there on the dash display, but not illuminated even on initial ignition start up. I will post once I get an answer from Lambo.

For anyone who may be looking at this in the future, I've got to the bottom of the mystery head unit.

It was a genuine Lamborghini retrofit, Part No. 400898373C, fitted by Lamborghini Sevenoaks in Aug 2016.

Lamborghini Sevenoaks had an orange spyder advertised from around 18th February 2016. I'm guessing it's the same car:



As you mention, the head unit was retrofitted, so the picture below has the original head unit at that point:


At that stage whatever the control switch now in the circular Sport/Corsa panel isn't there.

I have more of the pictures from this advertisement if you are interested.

Thanks.

So it appears that if a tyre pressure system is available and fitted, it only ever feeds information to the central screen between the analogue dials.

Therefore any subsequent messing with the audio head unit cannot lose anything as that screen only ever displays music info, nav, and telephone. Do others who have the original infotainment screens agree?

Brilliant. Thanks David. That's definitely the same car. Were you looking at it? Any idea what the price was?

It was sold to the third keeper (M5 KPP) on 1 April 2016, who changed the head unit six months later.

That's only a magnetic phone holder which I'll ask VVS to get rid of. I'd sooner they break to surround than me

Yes please. Any history is interesting for the file.

I think that's the case.

The infotainment (and dashboard computer) are an Audi item and that's the way it works on my RS4 (which has TPMS) and Gallardo (which doesn't).

And here is the car today, photo from VVS.



I think it looks very adequate. Well done previous owner/s for looking after this beautiful piece of Italian absurdity.

Spent some time looking into this back in 2016. Exact same unit as the RS6 and Exeo except for the bezel logo. Both Audi and Seat options are still well overpriced, pretty sure it's due to G owners buying them. We used to fit a lot of the AVIC systems into various supercars but there was always a compromise back then. Some of the current systems are pretty good though. I suspect Lambo just took the current flagship AVIC unit model back then and offered it as an 'official' option. The original one was the RNS-E NAVIGATION SYSTEM Part No. 400 035 192 N. Got an old one with a scratched screen stashed away somewhere.

Looks great with the wheels the way they are, black a little overdone these days but got what looks like titanium to break it up,

Just my two pennies worth,

Following suggestions on here, I researched alternative colours for the wheels other than the factory-standard silver. My partner chose Titanium, as recomended.

VVS now have the car ready, so here's the result:





For anyone following this in the future the wheel colour is Titanio metallic, LAM and PPG paint code 210600.

I'm delighted with the orange/titanium combination. Many thanks to those on here who caused me to change my mind!

Looks great - I reached the same conclusion on wheels but still have them in black, you might force me to paint them now...

Hi,

I tried buying M477 PET at auction a while back but, due to work commitments didn't get online in time.

I have seen it advertised for £899 +VAT +fees

Do you own that reg?

Hi Matthew. No. That reg was retained by the seller who is another Matt. He's on here as 'biondi'.

This car is now on Y6 RDX.

Cheers, Mark

Hi yes, I think it cost me around £650 or something, my real-world name is Matt Pettitt so it just worked and wasn't expensive as I guess there aren't many of us called Matt Pet*
