- 2006 2007 2008 2009 Range Rover Radio stop working. Bluetooth module is no longer working. Land Rover logo stuck on touchscreen. No navigation or info. The problem is the Bluetooth module and the fiber optic cables needs to bypass the Bluetooth module. Here's the fix
THIS IS BRILLIANT! I have searched across continents for answers, downloaded tech sheets, replaced radios, wiring, amplifiers, done resets as all suggested by others. This was it. 10 minutes and it was working again. Thanks for your awesome post!!!
I want to thank you so much. I’m helping my best friend get the 2008 range rover fixed. Her sister died. And this was hers. This was miraculous. Thank you so much for this great great fix!
Hey, I didn't read all the comments so I'm not sure if others mentioned it, but this was also the fix for our 2011 LR4 HSE (US edition). The difference is the location of the Bluetooth module and how it looks. You'll find it behind the passenger's side panel in the trunk (boot) area. Before I found this video and this fix, I replace the radio and amplifier with Ebay parts at reasonable expense, but still no go. This isolated the problem to the bluetooth module. I've temporarily looped the fiber optic bus until I can locate a replacement module. Dealer trip avoided!! Huge thanks to K John.
Thank you!!! We did exactly what you said and fixed our problem!! You just saved me major money by not having to go to the dealership. A million thanks for sharing!!!
Can't thank you enough. I had no clue and was contemplating an expensive repair, instead I did the job myself in 10 minutes, all thanks to your tutorial. Amazing since my brother works at the Solihull plant and didn't have a clue either! Lol
This worked perfectly - thanks so much for your very helpful video. The connectors on my wiring harness were heavily corroded. A bit of gaffer tape to hold the fibres back in place facing each other on their connector and all is well again (without the telephone)!
Genius - worked perfectly on my L322. Really appeciate you making the effort to post this. I used a bit of 6mm pcv tube (4mm id) to line up the connectors - just seemed easiest as I had lying around. Thanks again!!
Many Thanks. Very clear guidance. I had exactly the same fault, and had the Bluetooth module successfully bypassed in 10 minutes. Even better when I’ve never used Bluetooth in the 10 years of owning the Rangie!
I placed the optical lines against each other per your suggestion and simply used duct tape to keep them in place. Thanks for the great video, saved me lot of $$$!
I just wanted to say thank you! I originally followed your steps and could not see light coming through one of the cables, so I thought it was somewhere else in my complete setup! Needless to say, I followed your steps to the easy fix, and it definitely assisted me greatly on my Supercharged 2007 Vogue. Many thanks and I am very excited to have back my sound and backing camera. I have purchased another Bluetooth unit from eBay so here is hoping it works. Thanks once again.
I would like to add to my comment above K John as this is fantastic. I went online and found another module on eBay for a relative amount and ordered from the U.S. Packaged arrived ahead of predicted mail time by 2 weeks. I aptly applied the 25 mill tool from my garage and removed the offending module, and saw exactly moisture build up in the pins on the module. I cleaned the plug fittings with pure alcohol and wiped all clean and refitted in reverse order of above. Turned the car back on, automatically found Blutooth, and reconnected my iPhone, and no programming or fitting from a dealership required. Thanks so much, got me through a time whilst without Blutooth, and now back up and running, Cheers
I'd like to personally THANK YOU for the most effective & descriptive, money saving video posted on CZcams! My man; you literally saved me at least $1000. I never use the bluetooth feature in my 06' Range anyhow. Awesome job!
Utterly brilliant, thank you for putting this video up.
My radio now works
I tried to reuse the plastic plug as you described but that didn’t work however, I used the brass insert from an electrical coupler (the plastic blocks with a brass tube and two screws in them) to hold the two fibre optic cables in alignment .
Worked a treat - thanks again !
Sweet!! Came across your video in search of a solution to my radio not working. Followed your direction and it worked. The only thing is that little blue piece doesn’t lock in the two cables when putting them in halfway, so I just taped around them to hold it. Thanks for the help!!!
Thanks for this. FYI for me all I needed to do was unplug the module and plug it back in.
I did it with the car running and the screen came back. I hope it lasts.
No way, my neighbour just bought a 2004 2day an found this prob on drive home so was askin me cause I'm an electrician. Spent an hr lookin thru Google n CZcams an wish i'd found this 1st! Best described an shown info yet I'll try 4him 2moz👌
The optic wires just weren't located proply cause blue clip was missin. Insulation tape applied job done 4now👍
@@peddlinpaul6081 Hey, I have the same issue with the blue chip missing (thanks to your reply, I was having no luck elsewhere) how did you use insulation tape to fix the issue?
@@CrazycoolcruMHDTV I wrapped it well enough so it held the wires in place doing the job of the clip. I did mention it may start unravelling if it gets 2 warm in sunshine an he should try 2source a retaining clip still.
@@peddlinpaul6081 Thanks! I'll try that
Yeeesss!!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!! After one day of driving to and from work with no tunes... I was going BONKERS. Now, I'm back in business and ready for tomorrow! Hell yeah man, thanks a million!
Great you save my travels around Italy without music!!! Love it!!!
Cheers!
soo many thanks for this vid,,i live in france and was quoted 1700e for this fix,,,took me 3 mins,,soo gratefull you put this up,,,thanks again.
Just done mine and it worked! Can't explain how happy this has made me, thankyou! 🤣
This is an older post... but you can get a new bluetooth module - and even a 2009 - 2011 module will fit in it's place. I have a 2006 L322 - fitted with an L320 2010 Bluetooth Module - plugs right in and the bluetooth is marginally better.
Unreal. Perfect explanation of how to do as well as EXACTLY why they fail. Freakin' moisture. I too have fixed almost everything on my 07 l322 SC and am currently stuck on trying to figure out what is causing a parasitic battery drain. I've gone through so many brand new top of the line $300 batteries only to have them completely drained within a month. I literally have to jump my truck everytime I start it now. I think it's a faulty tpms module bc it's causing all kinds of other havoc on the canbus system too I think. Throwing all kinds of communication codes. I'm considering just unplugging the tpms module entirely. Any suggestions??
Hello and thanks for watching. Sorry for late response. Is Screen staying on when you lock it? The TPMS module shouldn't drain your battery. But I do understand those canbus gremlins can drive you crazy
thanks so much for this...fixed problem with my radio and satellite cutting in and out
Awesome, K John. Saved me a ton of time and troubleshooting!
Perfect instructional video! Helped me, since I'd hate being stuck in traffic without music! Simple, direct and works!

nicely done.... very clear and informative...thanks. is is worth trying to buy a used blue tooth unit to replace it? how often do they fail?
Great video. I've seen other videos where they suggest using some sort of splice connector he's repent or straw but I really like the idea of using the actual clip that comes with the car.
Thank you for this video!! I was able to make the fix quick and I'm back to having music and a backup cam in my 2011 HSE.
I tried by passing but it didn't working so am guessing the bluetooth module is spoilt then...will replace and see...thanx for the video though....it really helped
Ma sha Allah. Brother God bless you really very helpful video. Salam from Dubai
Thanks. I'm glad it help. God willing, will be heading to Dubai end of this year
Preciate the video bro....ironically I have the same Rover color interior and exterior. Thank you.
Thank you as my radio start working I followed your instruction
👍 Hi, THX a lot ! 😊 You saved my day man !
Hello and thx from France 🇫🇷 😉 👍, Bruno
No problem Burno. When I come to France, Give me ride
@@kjohn8635 u'll welcome ! 😊👍
Have you ever dealt with radio interference and static noise across all of the speakers? I have a 2009 Range Rover L332 and It comes and goes but it’s extremely loud and you can’t make it stop unless you turn the car off completely. Any suggestions you might have would be wonderful.
This was just what I needed.
I did it on my Supercharged 2010 but didn't fix the radio, still "Range Rover" on the screen... Does that mean the BT module is working but something else isn't? (Like the amplifier).
Hello John! Thank you so much! Excactly this! What a nice explanation and tutorial.... Many many thanks!!!! All the best for your future! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🔝
This worked, thank you for sharing your know-how.
Thank you so much. I was able to repair my car thanks to you
You saved me a lot of headache and money! Thank you
YOU ARE AWESOME. Do you have fixes for air compressor not inflating front suspension?
Hello. Thanks for watching. Do you have any error codes? Is it both front, or just one side? Is the back rising and not the front? If the back is rising and holding, your compressor is good and you have a leak and need to find it. Get some very soapy water in a spray bottle. Saturate the air bags on the air springs (one at a time) try raising the vehicle to ride height. Observe for air bubbles. If none, there's an air suspension valve for the front springs behind the passenger front wheel well, (search for this video- L322 Range Rover - How To Depressurize Air Springs) it shows how to get to it. Saturate that with soapy water and then try to raise vehicle observe. Keep me posted
Thank you i had the same problem and now it is resolved. Great video.!!

Bravo. I love when people make concise and efficient videos. I'm actually looking for the easiest way to integrate music from my iphone on an 06 HSE. What a pain. My CD changer doesn't work... so I'm curious what the connectors are to the the amp... and if I can possibly just replace that input with a stereo pair... ultimately breaking out in a female mini jack. Has anyone done similar? all the solutions seem a bit overly complex. I just need tunes.... and i'm happy to charge using a lighter plug adapter.

Awesome tempted to go outside and fix mine now! Thanks!
Where do I get the piece with the white wire showing? What is the name?
Are you talking about the bluetooth module? I purchased used from ebay part number XVJ500046, XVJ500350 or XVJ500300 for 2006-2009
Thanks man for the info,very educational info for experts
Crazy good info. Thanks man.
dear john my radio screen did not open either I watch your video and you listen I did the same thing you did he works and radio does again I am very happy I thank you very much and I have subscribed to youtoube from today john you are super reperateur ask me € 175 for repair 2 min work jonh thank you very much greetings ada from the netherlands
That's a great video, I tried it and it worked only until I started the car. After I start it the "Land Rover" logo displays on the screen and won't do anything. Do you know what is wrong?
Hi. Thanks for watching. Make sure your wires are still sending light to each other. Try taping them together and check all fuses related to audio/Tv
Try disconnecting the power on battery and reconnect again.
hi man u are amazing i was having this problem with my 2006 hse i saw yur video looks like it will work thanks for sharing this suhail new york
Thanks man... saved me some frustration right there.
John I need sum help with my 2010 Range Rover l322 I did the same thing u did but nothing worked it happens while I was working on my passenger door I was changing the door lock actuator and it’s stuck at Range Rover logo as soon as I put everything back together... any suggestions would really help thanks!
Hi Mike, check to see if there is any light coming out of one of those fiber optic cables you pulled out from the bluetooth module then check your fuses for all audio/video components
Sorry for the late reply I did check all the fuses that I know of witch is on the passenger glove box and yes there was a light coming from the fiber optic cable ....... Idk what else to do
@@mikekanan9684 Hi, check these fuses 9, 14, 22, 40, 49 those are all audio related. Does the door actuator works?
I just did that thank you
needing this right now 06 rover haha
thank you soo much !!!!!
Thanks man. Had me baffled. 🇮🇪✌️
Thankyou that was very helpful.
Amazing so simple but saves a fortune
Thank. It is very interesting information
Thank for show solution of fix radio L322
Thank you OG🙏🏾
Ok so i had that same problem with my radio in my 2005 range rover hse.. i bypassed the bluetooth module like you did in this video.. so before I did it would be stuck on the Land Rover screen just like yours text you tomorrow... After I bypass the module the radio and everything came on what about 15 seconds after that the radio went completely off and the screen went dark navigation lights... If I cut it off and started back up the same thing Land Rover screen and the radio comes on 15-20 seconds later it would turn completely off and blank out and will not come back on until I cut the truck off and then started back up...what do you think that might be? I'm thinking maybe the amplifier below the module.
Check your volts and amps on your battery. Make sure you're using a battery rated for your Rover. If you have a good battery, disconnect cables for an hour and then reconnect. A lot of electrical gremlins happened because of an overload battery. I had a cheap battery in mine and worked perfect for a couple months and then all of a sudden warning lights started popping up and the truck would shut down
Awesome video. Nice work brother. 🙂
Hey John... keep getting this "suspension fault" warning pop up from time to time... ur thoughts?
Turn on car, turn steering wheel all the way left, then all the right, car will level off, warning will go out. I just had to do mine 2005, yesterday after a remove battery cable re-boot.
OH NO. Not a suspension fault, max speed 35MPH. You might have a faulty ride height sensor. Go get a free diagnostic scan and then let me know the codes. I will let you know what and how to get it done. I've change compressor, all ride height sensors, air manifold block and air bag strut. Oh and make sure you have a very good battery. A weak battery makes Rovers go nuts
Hi Mate, Im in Perth Australia. Ive got a 07 RR Sport.
Can U advise re a center console intermittent fault i have.
I start the car n drive. Drive for a few minutes then the radio, GPS and AC stop working.
PLUS the indicators stop working, hazard lights come on and central locking system starts closing and opening the doors.
I continue driving, 5 or 10 minutes later it all comes back on and works normally, then, switch's off again....................................... Its doing my head in............... HELP pls
Thx,
Mark

thank you so much bro you save me some money
Worked ......... Thank you for the tip.
You are a legend 🙌 thank you
Hello would this interfere with the battery?
Thanks a lot. You have saved my money 😀
Thanks bro very helpful 👍
i have a 05 range rover hse and fuse 37 transfer box in neutral problem keep happening, how can i fix this for good?
Where can I find that black clip that's the peace I need to fix mine
I have a 2012 and was listening to the radio and then it just stopped. Screen blank, nothing working. What shall I look for first?
Always fuses first. I'm not sure if 2012 is same configuration as 2006-2009. Is anything else not working?
@@kjohn8635 Its like the entire unit just went black
@@kennethpappas That sounds like you're not getting power. Double check your fuses and make sure you have a fully charged battery. Our Rovers tend to have gremlin issues when the battery is low voltage. When you come across a fix please post it so it can help someone else out with similar issue
@@kjohn8635 Started the Rover the next day and everything came on. Have no idea what caused that cluster to completely go black.
Dear Sir, I have a l322 2007 the rear left corner seems to be dropping over night. I have replaced the air suspension unit but still have this issue? Would you have any suggestions on how I can rectify this? Thankyou.
Get some soapy water in a spray bottle. Access your air suspension rear valve block which is located behind the passenger side rear wheel well liner. Raise the L322 to it's highest point. Spray valve and see if you see any air bubbles. Also spray air suspension unit, top to bottom and hose connection. I had a small pin hole in rubber airbag of air strut. For my dropping over night issues, I changed the strut and ride height sensor for the corner that kept dropping and I also replaced the air suspension valve block. I dealt with everything all at one time. Hope this helps
What if you don’t have the red light come on at all? I have a 2010
I went step by step through the video, not saying it dosent work but I must’ve done something wrong because I still have a blinking light and a frozen screen. Tried un doing and re doing twice - help?
It didn't work for me. What other reasons could it be?
This really helped me thanks
Hello, I have a 2008 LRRRSC L322. About a week ago, after starting the engine, with the AC running, I noticed a cigarette smell, coming from the front dash, then I noticed that there was no sound coming from the radio and then I noticed what seemed to be a light smoke, bellowing from around the front dash speaker and now my battery is almost completely drained. Any suggestions?
Sincerely
i just started having that issue, what did you do with the blue clip you look out? put it back after you connect the bypass or just keep it out?
Great job bro 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you ,,excellent very helpful
I'm getting the am band but not the first band and no clear stations on the am band
Hello sir thank you for the video I tried that on mine but it did not fix it it is still blinking and frozen any other advice there is also no light coming from the fiber optic when I unplug them to put them pointing towards each other any advice please and thank you
Chwers for the helpful video dude i hope it works for me as i am having the same problem, do you put the little blue bit back in to lock the 2 cables into place when bypassing? Or how did you get the cables to stay in place?
the little blue piece is only if you plan on replacing the module because you will need to slide that back into the connection to lock everything in. I'm not putting another module in so I put it to the side and zip tie the fiber cables to some other wires to hold it in place
hello could you please show a video how to remove the center vent 2007 land rover range Rover she
I have bought an L322 that has already had this mod, does anyone know the part number for the black plug that goes into the nokia module?
even with the blue piece?
K John, I really enjoyed watching this video I found it extremely informative and important. I have a 2008 HSE that I have been trying to upgrade the bluetooth ability on. I have found online at a Range Rover forum from the UK (www.disco3.co.uk/forum/d4-bluetooth-module-in-d3-53302.html) that you can retrofit that 2007 D3 bluetooth module for a 2009-2012 D4 module. The wiring appears to be a very simple change over. This swap out provides better voice quality, with more clarity and no echo over cel phone, enables better touchscreen, and holds a larger phonebook (1000 names vs. 300) I am mechanically inclined but a dud when it come to electronics and wiring, if you could present a video making this swap out it would be greatly appreciated, not only by myself but I am sure a host of others that would appreciate this upgraded D4 bluetooth module.
John, Since writing this a month ago I have successfully removed the Nokia Bluetooth module(D3) and retro-fitted a FoMoCo Bluetooth 2009-20-14 Module (D4) I got on Ebay. It worked perfectly by following the simple instructions at the www.disco3.co.uk forum.
Ok, tried that, but it hasn't worked, any further suggestions?
Mi pantalla no enciende podrías decirme donde encuentro el fucible?
How do I Bluetooth my personal android phone to my 2007 hse rangerover or does it have that feature.
How to fix radio unit if the unit stopped working? Should I use the same method? It’s just a blank black screen...
Tried this bypass. Only work a few hours .and ideas ? Thanks
i love it good job body good job
thanks for the tip
I have the same problem the screen touch is freezing on Land Rover and radios work but there's no sounds is it good to be the same problem I I tried to do the same steps but it didn't go through any suggestion
What about the phone 📱does it work with this fix?
No, the phone won't connect until you change out the bluetooth module that we unplugged
Hey , so I did this and it worked for about a month and then , went back to the frozen screen , any tips?
Hello. Make sure the wires didn't separate too far from each other. Keep them as close as you can and you can use electrical tape to wrap around everything so they don't lose light
@@kjohn8635 thanks I'll try that
