I forgot the metal thing at the bottom is a large heat sink which gets surprisingly hot fairly fast after plugging the stereo in. I couldn't see the amp anywhere or the lack of it on the other one. Interestingly on the plug at the back that you plug into the stereo on my base Discovery there are two wires cut short just behind the stereo. I wonder does anyone have the wiring diagram for that plug and how it differs from a plug going into a hi line stereo. Has anyone checked the output of the hi line v the base unit at the rear.

What colour wires are cut?

The hiline cars don't have the 8? Green wires in the middle of the connector.

So follow the tracks if u wish!

Where did you get the head unit from. I’m looking to do the same but can’t find one in the uk. Only found one in Spain and one in the USA and they both want stupid money for them.

I got mine on EBay it’s from a Base Range Rover sport from memory it’s a VUX500550 I’d have to take it out to check for definite. They come up from time to time.

I put a Kenwood system with Garmin nav in mine.

Anything from JLR for these year vehicles is truly awful and should be burned... with a spoon!

Even the D4 stuff is poor by modern standards.

All the pics of the install are here:

 D3 07 SE - still going strong
D3 07 HSE - gone to car heaven
FL1 - gone to Romania
D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten
RR Classic - gone to car heaven

Jeeps, Lexus, X-trails... Too many to name..
