Fantastic video! I had no idea this kind of massive upgrade was possible. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks for the review. I wish you lived in Wisconsin, this tech service is soo needed!!!! Thanks for the review
I'm looking forward to an update👍
Nice work!
Ok it took me 2 years to find this video. As much as I search and search, the only think I notice was that I wish you showed the 4x4 SCREEN working along with your new Double DIN install. I was wondering if the 4x4 INFO is still functional. Apart from that, awesome job of showing us this video. Even the land rover forums I know does not explicitly show it this way.
Very cool!
The info 4x4 and nav from factory still working in the old screen?
Will the access kit work for a pioneer?
I have an 2007 LR3 with no navigation. Will this install still work?
can you still get the 4x4 info on the top screen or is that gone
Did you loose the clock on your dash? I’m assuming that you also lost your fade?
A couple questioned answered. Links pinned beneath them.
4x4 and Nav screen displays Land Rover logo. No functionality.
I apologize I did not do a more thorough video install. I wish CZcams would let me update the video, but I cannot.
You will see the AXESS kit says for Range Rover only; it works for both

I wish this could be done in the space where the top nav display is.
Good but i have my hse with pionner and 4x4 screen normal i did installed my oem radio inside seat with optical fiber refit installed
did you have the harman Kardon system?
I have an 08 sport with the logic system, purchased a scosche harness which is very similar to the one you are using in this video. However I’m not getting any audio. Did you have to do anything special with the fiber connection or simply plug it into the black box and it kicked on the amp/audio ?
I just plugged in. I had no issues. I wish I could be more helpful.
Did you lose control of 4x4 info on the top screen?
where can i find the kit for my landrover
Does this setup work only with your specific din out could I use a different din and get it to work still? The reason I ask is because I want to fit a din that has both a front and rear camera.
Any DIN will work with this.
A bit late to the party but, the LR head unit is the master on the fiber (Most bus) so remove the unit, the sat nav screen stops working,
The 4x4 info with suspension height and steering angle sensor is sendt over the high speed canbus nettwork. The head unit is connected to this bus so it can send messages from the modules in the vehicle to the info screen over the fiber cable to the screen. Thats why you only have the LR Logo. The screen does not know what to do, so it just sits there and waits for that information.
I do not care about any of that info on the main screen. I knew that the installation would make that screen un-operational. The stereo being from what felt like 1980 was the main goal here.
Hi there Pelle!
Do you know a way to make the satnav screen work again? I am tired of the LR logo 😑
@@stianramberg7023 hello where did u purchase the radio harness from
Hello, I have a Land Rover LR3, and I need to change my heat unit. I like to know where you purchased all the electronics you purchase to install the head unit. The name of the control for the steering control, the XM connection, and the box that controls the fiber optic cable.
I was able to purchase everything on Ebay at reasonable prices.
Where can I do this in South Africa gauteng to be precise?
Where did you find that kit?
I know when installing a 3rd party radio you lose the car navigation, but I see the Land Rover Logo on the screen, do you lose the 4X4 info as well?
correct, no 4x4 info
What harness did yu buy kid?
Was the antenna conversion in with the axs kit? Or do i need to buy it separately? Part number?
seperate
Great video! I have 2005 LR3 HSE planning on installing CarPlay, where did you get the interface kit AX-LR90092 and how much you paid?
FYI I was able to locate every piece named in this video on Ebay at very reasonable prices -- including the interface kit
That Axxess AX-LR90092 Wiring Interface kit is like $400 right now. I don't know how much this guy paid but that is crazy for that wiring kit
any chance on a tutorial or a guide ? been wanting to do this to my car for a while but haven’t found any videos online that have been helpful besides this one
You mean step by step? Honestly, this isn't difficult at all. Those wires I show are the only things needed. Everything else is plug and play.
But were u buy that kit...my range rover is 2006 with fibre optic radio
@@canadaemirates1734 Ebay... everything needed
Hi Johathan Was that a USB port I saw in the back? Thanks Kiel
Yes
Great video. Thanks for listing all the parts. Question - my car doesn't have the Nav system. Will the AX-LR90092 work? I can't seem to get a straight answer on this. Thanks
Does your vehicle have Harmon Kardon? I believe it will still use the fiber optic for stereo. So yes.
@@jonathang1986 Yes - it does have the Harmon Kardon. I'm hoping this will work as there doesn't seem to be any other harness available. But it's a big price tag to take a risk on.....
@@davidwalker9604 The fiber optic cable is going from the old unit to the Harmon Kardon amplifier. This wiring harness kit just converts that signal so that it can use the fiber optic cable still. I so no reason it wouldn't work. Then again I can't guarantee anything.
@@jonathang1986 That makes sense. Thank you very much for the info. I think this harness is my only option. I'm hoping that the main steering wheel functions will work but if they don't that's not a deal breaker as long as I can connect to the amp and the speakers without having to rewire the entire vehicle.
@@davidwalker9604 They will.
Great vid! Do you know which size screen would fit the upper screen? I've seen other LR3s set up in the top screen.
No I do not. They would take some customizing. I didn't see a need for it be on the top screen.
I looked on Sonic's website and the exact model number for the interface kit reads that it does not fit? How is that so? I have a 2006 LR3 SE with harmon kardon amp
I don't know what sonic's website is. The linked kit fit, obviously there's a video on it. I don't know what you're looking at.
is the 4x4 screen above that shows the suspension airbag levels and wheels still working? thanks
No, it only displays the land rover logo
Jonathan Ganther well that’s crap then
@@ptescreen18 honest question, if the status is reflected in the physical settings of the center console controls and the information screen in the instrument panel, what does this really take away? It seems to just show you what you already can tell. Curious for your view, perhaps I’m missing something!
Hi there - I cannot seem to find the conversion kit. Would you please send me all of the model numbers etc - I'm struggling to find any in the UK.
The two model numbers I know are linked in the video AX-LR90092 or AX-DIS LR92
Someone told me if you buy another fiber optic cable to complete the most network you can get the 4x4 screen working again. I really want mine to work again. I love my CarPlay, but can’t stand looking at the LandRover screen anymore.
Could it be installed instead of the Landrover screen ?
I do it on my car i have a pionner and up normal screen with my 4x4 info etc but i need to put my oem radio inside seat by optical fiber installed
Upper screen still used for anything besides displaying the Land Rover logo?
No, It just displays Land Rover emblem.
@@jonathang1986 Bummer... maybe it can be removed and something else put there then?
@@TommyboyGTP No, the GPS has the fiber optic tied to it. If you remove it, the stereo won't work. What were you hoping for? The GPS system in the LR3 is archaic compared to today's technology.
@@jonathang1986 Just wondering i don't know too much about electronics. I saw a video where a version without the nav maintained the factory radio, but had an Android head unit was put in that empty spot and used on the AUX setting.
Hey just letting you know your information was Helpful🧠 to me !$
About to install a new after market radio, will let you know how I made out!
Hi which best smart screen for Lr3? And what i must buy with it ? And where to buy? Thanks
I can't answer which screen is best. I list everything needed in the video. A quick google search will provide everything you need.
Any 2 DIN system should fit with the correct dash kit and wiring harness. I recommend connecting Dwayne at www.installer.com.
I can't cope... irl have to take my new apple play unit in to a garage... i need to fit it in a land rover discovery 2.. it looks harder than A level underwater basket weaving.... oooshhhh
How did you go through the fire wall
You don't need to go through the firewall for any of this
When i look up the part number it show for range rover. Are they the same
Yes, look at 3:44 minute mark of the video. It says "Range Rover Sport" on the box"
It would have been nice if you had links to the parts
All the parts besides the head unit were purchased on eBay. There is no way to link them. I listed all the parts number and made a video to try and help out. Appreciate the comment though
any way to keep the 4x4 info up top?
not that I'm aware of.
Where did you buy this at
I got lucky and found this AXiSS kit for $300 on Ebay, search the part number in google. Here it is on ABT site. www.abt.com/product/148253/Metra-Land-Rover-DIS-RR-SPRT-With-MOST25-Amp-SWC-Retention-2004-2009-AXDISLR92.html
@@jonathang1986 will this kit work with the harmon kardon 7 sound system
@@PinaColato_ Yes, that's what my system is.
Will you be installing a subwoofer soon??
The car comes with a sub in the rear, so no.
Does the nav screen still work?
nope
No links? 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
It's called google you a-hole. I provided everything you needed. All the parts numbers. I bought these on eBay there are no links, all the auctions have ended.
and secondly, the links are at the top of the comment section...
