If you are going to use the front passenger footwell connection for the AUX, then you MUST plug in a jack plug into the rear AUX if you have one. WIGGS was a great help to me when I did mine, and in fact it was not as hard as I first imagined.2010/60 Discovery 4 XS Zermatt Silver - Privacy Glass, Timed Climate (with remote), Voice, 4x4 screen, Bong on lock/un-lock (Pete BellAutos)

So to get DVB in the car you nedd:
1. DVD box as above.
2. Fixing kit? (available from ebay seller)
3. 12V adaptor for above box? (available from ebay seller)
4. The cables to connect box to rear of stereo, I see the cables but are they phono on the other end?
5. Where does the freeview box go?
6. If you upgraded at a later date to put headrest screens in you could output to them no problem (from the freeview box?)
7. Total cost?

It looks like a good idea, might keep the kids quiet when stuck in traffic.
What about if I want to input more in to the screen, such as my phone (video out composite), would I need one of those other boxes you have?

I dont have "any other boxes" as such.
The screen has 3 inputs ..so you just connect there .
If you want a proper button on your touch screen then your looking at an interface box which range from £500 - £700 ..not worth it in my opinion.
I have a dvd player which has an aux source in that aswell ..so basically another input.
I use ...
1 input for reversing camera
1 input for dvd
1 input for freeview
1 input as a spare ...to connect anything ..but i use it for another camera
Just plug in here ...and use the diagnotic screen to enable the picture
