On Discovery 3 vehicles fitted with sat nav, there is a hidden menu available which allows viewing of vehicles signals, configuration and viewing of the screen's video inputs.

The two main sub menus of interest are Vehicle Signals and Video Inputs Test.

Accessing the Menu

  • First get this screen up. You may have more buttons on this screen if you have other options installed - RSE, DVD, TV, 4x4 Info.

Video Inputs Test

This can be used to test the 3 video input connectors, or alternatively to watch video being input to them from an external device such as TV, DVD, iPhone/iPad etc.

Adapter cables to connect to the nav screen inputs are available from the site shop:
