no landrovers come with this type of screen so you will be fine.

oh wait i didn't read your 1st coment right " heated front screen " i thought you meant reflective. i wouldn't have thought so you will probbably need the externall antenna.

The GO seems to work OK in other Ford cars with the fine wires embedded in the screen. Does the Discovery have the same type?

The problem ones seem to be the coated windscreens that reflect heat. Mostly French.

Hi Strech,
I've had a classic and a 700 Go in my 2004 Discovery. I found that I could get a fairly good signal through the heated screen, but it did drop off regularly, and always at the wrong time! I cured this by fitting an external arieal kit. Ran it accross the dash, under the door seals and onto the shelf under the rear side window. Works a treat!
