It can be retro fitted. As far as i am aware the wiring is not there and it will new to be done by a pro. Where i work we get them fitted all the time to all sorts of cars. I will find out the name as they are a national company and i will post it tomorrow

I had a right kerfuffle with this when I bought mine a couple of months ago - a dealer had the exact model I wanted in stock but it didnt have cruise control - the salesman told me that all the gubbins were in place and it would cost about £50 to have it retro-fitted - I actually signed on the dotted line when the dealer suddenly changed his mind and said that he had made an error and that they would have to get a third party in to fit it - the cost was to be in the region of £750 and it would also invalidate the warranty as it was not a Land Rover fitted system.
I thought this was just a ploy to get more money out of me so I got a quote from another dealership and it was about the same money (and similar advice re warranty)

When I told the dealer that I wasnt going to go ahead with the order he threatened to pursue me for breach of contract - obviously I told him to feel free and also pointed out that it would be a real shame if I contacted Land Rover and let them know how I was missold in one of their franchises (I made sure the Dealer Prinicipal heard me) and strangely enough I've not heard a word out of them since!!

Might be worth checking out what effect any work will have on your warranty before taking it on

Dave ,look forward to you next post, Thanks

outlander ,

well thats a story . I have never found a car salesman that i felt comfortable with. shame really ,so i only buy used and private.

so what did you go for then or are you a withoutlander ..No warranty left 02
