So we discovered and posted what I believe were the first pics online of the new Rear Seat Entertainment Touch Screen Controller yesterday – the real press who already knew about it are now starting to post.  Here’s CNET UK’s take on it with some new small bits of info

CNET UK (http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/cars/range-rover-2011-review-49306144/#):

A bespoke touch-sensitive remote control unit has been developed specifically for the Range Rover. The 64mm (2.5-inch) display, which uses resistive touch technology, allows you to choose video and audio sources independently for each display. It’s extremely clever, but we won’t go as far as to say it’s perfect. It doesn’t show you artist, playlist or video information and its graphical user interface takes some getting used to. We’re not complaining though — it beats the hell out of standard rear-seat remotes, so well done Land Rover.

When the tear gas grenades start going off, you can feel safe knowing that the Armored Range Rover will keep some clear air flowing.

I still have huge backlog of old print ads, brochures and more that I just never posted.  I’ll start putting them up over the next few weeks.  To start with here are two new galleries:

Land Rover Series – Brochures & Sales Material

Range Rover Classic  – Brochures, Sales & Tech Material

Sorry for the language, but this really came out of nowhere.  Watching the video from the previous post, we saw some things they haven’t shown us live yet.  But no one ever mentioned a touch screen Rear Seat Entertainment Controller.  It does seem like the kind of thing they show and then we never get it in the U.S.  So even if we don’t, it’s still great they are coming up with ideas like this:

I don’t know how I missed this one, found it over on rangerovers.net and it’s got it all.

• Rear Seat Recline in Action
• Rotary Electronic Transmission Selector
• Steering Wheel Shift Paddles
• Display going through all 8 gears
• Insane Rear Seat Entertainment Controller

I’m not sure where this video actually comes from, I know it’s official Land Rover, but it’s not on any of the official LR media sites that I can find – anyway – Enjoy!

So the Armored Range Rover still does have Terrain Response, but not the full compliment of modes.
