2007 Vogue: Upgraded satnav screen unit?

[Superscoofer2007]

Hello all,

First post here after building frustrations for not finding what I am looking for. We have a 2007 Vogue and after exceptionally spending most of the winter outside in the French Alps, the satnav/radio unit decided to play up (intermittently starts and goes nuts eventually-unusable). The RR dealer (kindly after our cash) just told us the car needed the satnav gps screen unit (LR009703) replacing. At 2100 eur (fitted by dealer) (cheapest in UK found at £1200 and in US second hand at $500 max), I was wondering if anyone out there on this forum would know of an alternate satnav unit (touch screen, usb ports, bluetooth,....) in existence. I found one for the 2003-2004 model but it's no good onviously.

Thanks in advance for sharing your valuable opinion and experience.

Hi, how handy are you with some tools?

Is it just the screen that needs replacing?

Hope this helps

Can you expand on "goes nuts", it may be either optical or electrical fault, due to it being left outside. Screenshots would help. if the screen isn't damaged as such it may be the actual unit or cables. Or if certain screens work or not.

The nav is electrical cable to the rear of the dvd map unit, whilst just about every other major unit is on an optical ring system, if one unit connector is unplugged the display will be intermittent at best. Each connector has 2 leds one a transmit and the other a receive, breaking the loop shuts down the whole system.

The thing is with the L322 vogue a lot of functions are controlled from the display apart from the nav. These interact with the radio, audio amp, the phone, the cd/dvd player FBH, provide display for the steering angle and suspension/Terrain response.
