Anyone replaced the satnav in their Sport/Disco 3?
Discussion
I was going to buy a new (updated) nav disc, but then got thinking.
With a bit of thought you can get a gps double din infotainment thing from Ebay. A simple purchase of a wiring harness bridge allows the connection between this and the aux in on the existing head unit. Add in a USB input and suddenly for around £100/150 you have Google Maps/Waze/CoPilot and Spotify, etc. I reckon a reverse camera would be a simple add on.
I had a poke about today, and the only issue I can see is mounting the unit at the correct angle for the dash. The existing nav screen is built specifically for the angle, but it can't be beyond a bit of thought to mount the double din cage at the right angle.
Anyone done this?

Ahh, yes. I've done the research for the HK Logic 7.
I'm happy with the sound from the basic head unit. It's the satnav I want to replace. I've found plenty of head units with RCA left and right outputs. I've also found a plug and play bit of loom that bridges into the Aux in of the head unit. So, I figure I can keep the Logic 7, and use the replacement for the nav unit on the Aux button for sound input. Its fitting the unit in the gap where the factory nav has been that is the challenge.
At least I think that will work.
