Defender Sat Nav


Recommended Posts

Hi. I have a 2009 Defender XS. I am looking to mount my Garmin Nuvi in the center of the dash as Land Rover have with the SVX model.

Could anybody advise of the bracket Land Rover have used to mount the Garmin (also any LR part nos if poss)

Thanks

I spoke to the sales person at Land Rover and it seems the complete install kit, inc the Garmin sat unit is around £500.

Not sure if they will / can ship the bracket separately.

I have scanned the web for a pic of the Garmin bracket to no avail, are there any tame SVX owners out there willing to supply a pic

In the absence of help from Land Rover I have taken the matter to hand and fabricated a insert for the tray for which to mount the Garmin mounting plate.

I have added two pics to show how straight forward it is

Whilst awaiting a repair in a French Land Rover dealer I took these photo's of the Garmin mount. At the time I didn't know anything about the mount except that it looked well designed.Checking the forums on my return I can see there is other interest....perhaps I'm a bit late for Nick but maybe someone could make use of them.....or locate an outlet?

Hi All,

I have just bought one of the last remain kits and wondered what was the best model sat nav to use with the kit?

I already have a Garmin Nuvi 1690 and wondered if this was suitable or I would need to buy another head unit?

Many Thanks and I look forward to being a defenderist on this forum :blink:
