The Land Rover Range Rover comes with a preinstalled, factory-issue radio incorporating a CD player and AM/FM receiver. A wide range of aftermarket stereos are available with up-to-date features included, such as MP3 players, DVD players and navigation aids. Range Rover owners who wish to update their stereo system by installing an aftermarket head unit must first remove the factory-issue radio and adapt the radio wiring to enable the new radio to work.
Instructions
1. Disconnect the cable from the negative car battery terminal with the adjustable wrench.
2. Unclip the cover panel of the radio. Pull it away from the radio body. Remove the two Phillips screws on either side of the radio. Pull the radio unit out of the dashboard housing. Disconnect the wire harness by pushing the tabs on the side and pulling the connection apart. Pull out the radio antenna cable. Place the old radio to one side.
3. Slide the new stereo into the radio installation sleeve. Plug in the radio antenna cable to the radio antenna port on the rear of the new stereo. Connect one end of the wire harness adapter to the wire harness. Push the connections together until they click into place. Connect the other end of the wire harness adapter to the wire harness of the new stereo using the same method.
4. Slide the new radio into the dashboard housing. Push in the radio as far as it will go, taking care not to trap any of the wiring. Reconnect the negative terminal of the car battery. Test the installation by turning on the new stereo.
