What Version of Software
We see a lot of talk about which version of software we are on within our cars. I have attached two photos of my diagnostic screen, any chance someone could tell me what version of Software I am on from this?
P.S. Because this is likely to get asked. Instructions on how to gain access to the diagnostic screen are here.

I found out how to get at the diagnostics page by reading the following post.
You do need the nav screen though. If you dont want to read all of the above post, the instructions are as follows:
o On the touchscreen, press the RIGHT HARD KEY to get to the home screen
o Press the “invisible†button which is at the very top in the middle of the screen for about 3 secs
o The press and hold the LEFT HARD KEY for about 5 secs (if at this point the map appears you
didn’t hold the invisible button down for long enough!)
o You then get asked to enter a Diag PIN number – this is 753
o Now you get various options depending on your car specification.
if you look at the configuration and vehicle configuration you will find the 3 software versions.

The answer is no, and there is no such thing as a "software version" in the vehicle sense anyway. Mention made of this elsewhere is misleading.
The diagnostic screen that you have displayed shows various information relating to the navigation system and elements of the vehicle's communication networks.
The "version" information often quoted is, in reality, the WDS version number. This is the diagnostic software for a number of Land Rover models, and not exclusively Discovery 3. The current version is (or was very recently) Version 10. This provided updates for problems relating to a number of the vehicles control modules, but is not a complete upgrade as has been implied elsewhere.

Unless you have a specific problem, I would strongly advise that you don't ask anyone to update anything.
Think of it as installing what you think is a new improved driver for your computers video card, and then finding all you get is a flickering screen!
