My V8 also came without screen, but I mounted an aftermarket android screen which has the 4x4 info, Apple carplay and a screen resolution that makes it useful for navigation. You can add your favourite apps like Waze etc. Easy wiring, just plugs in the head unit loom.Defender 110 SE 2021, Tasman Blue

Wow I haven’t heard of one with 4x4 info. Would you mind sharing a link and maybe some pics of the 4x4 info screen? What app does this info on the android unit?

You need a D4 display power connector shell. LR YPC902700
The terminals are £30 per 10 minimum part number is 41841145
I often find Aliexpress a good place to get LR connectors from.
Then:
pin 11 on d4 plug. Black wire Earth (at the cigar lighter)
pin 14 on d4 plug, Blue wire piggy back off fuse 57 (or 58)
pin 8 on d4 plug, either to fuse 53 or the thick Purple Blue wire on the back of the radio for +12v PWR
if you want the NAV to work you also need to connect pin 2 to the cars speed MPH wire. This is available under the drivers seat, near the door on a 4 pin connector. Connect to green wire

You will also need to connect a GPS Antenna to the FAKRA connector on the display. (you can get cheap £10 ones to go ontop of the dash (or maybe just under the dash)

Unplug the orange cable from the radio, and then add this loop in to reconnect the radio and new display

Thanks chaps. The discovery 4 retrofit seems a lot easier than I thought with your clear instructions. After finding out the 4x4 screen can be gained in the android units now that’s thrown a spanner in the works. I’m going to have to have a think about the two units now.
Either way I will report back and try and do a write up.
