Retrofitting after delivery

I was just wondering, maybe others might wonder too, how easy it is (or if feasible) to retrofit these, should you not spec it earlier (perhaps due to budget or need):

1) Surround Camera
2) Fitting the Dynamic kit after spec'ing the Prestige/Pure kit with surround camera
3) HDD Navigation System
4) Rear Seat Entertainment
5) Dual-View
6) Park Assist
7) Blind Spot Monitoring
Cool Adaptive Dynamics
9) the 825W Meridian system

IMHO, they all seem quite impossible to retrofit since all of them need some "Hardware" pieces, it's not only Software

RE: Retrofitting after delivery

My experience with other vendors is that retro-fitting is close to impossible and is always hugely more expensive for 3 reasons - new parts are at spare part prices, you get to keep the redundant parts which you have already paid for and the labour to install involves dismantling the car to a certain level which is not required when the option is going in to start with.

The real no-no is if wiring loom changes are required. The wiring loom is one of the first parts to go in and if changes are required, it will be next to impossible.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

RE: Retrofitting after delivery

I hope dem LandRover guys sees this post, and make the Prestige Interior pack for the Dynamic! Or vice-versa make a Dynamic Styling Pack for the Prestige!! Esp when you already have the surround cameras fitted...really am in a dilemma between choosing these two trims...
