Some advice for putting the leather dash trim back on as this is much harder than taking it off. Firstly add a few drops of super glue to your spring clips because these these things will fly off if you get it wrongly aligned. Obviously let it dry properly first. Work the panel on flat getting your piece by the instrument cluster in first as there is a peg that has to align onto the clocks. Then look for your lower clips that go into the cage around the infotainment screen as there are two big ones at the bottom. Then as this video shows gently bend the bottom section underneath the dash, do not bang it in otherwise the clips will end up behind your dashboard. With everything hooked under push everything into place, takes a bit of force but you will hear all the clips lock in. I wrestled with this for ages losing clips along the way and having to drop glove box to retrieve them all. Deffo use super glue so they don’t fall off the pegs otherwise you will have only half the clips holding this on and half rattling around somewhere.
Hi is there a specific type of android head unit I have to upgrade my L494 2014 infotainment system ? Because how will it retain the basic side buttons functionality as disabling the parking sensor. Thanks and really helpful video
Another great video guys! So I have another video Idea - I'm seeing a newer product in the market that has really attracted attention. It's an upgraded L494 climate panel/AC LCD touch screen. Basically you remove the OEM panel/hard knobs and upgrade to a touch screen, it looks amazing. Do you all have any thoughts on this upgrade? If it's legit, would love to see a video on how to install.
I have a range rover sport 2011 not supercharged, I was driving it at about 25 to 30 mph and my bluetooth just stop working and screen were the station numbers go it went blank, but I turn my radio off and the station came back on but my bluetooth did not. what can I do. thanks for all your videos I actually added a new key to my rover just with your video thank you so much.
I always enjoy looking at your site. I installed the Android 11 infotainment system in my 2017 L494 yesterday, stowed the wires, pushed in the monitor and air conditioning panel, turned on the ignition key, the air conditioning panel and monitor did not show up and I put everything back together. However, the original navigation and air conditioning panel do not work, only the hazard light switch. Once disconnected from the battery, left for 20 minutes and hard rebooted, the monitor and air conditioning panel do not show and work. I don't know if it is the disconnection or the on-board computer and will have it looked at by the dealer tomorrow. Is there any possible cause for this?
I have a 2017 Range Rover HSE, the truck sat for two weeks during Christmas. When we returned the screen would mot turn on. Any idea what may be wrong?
Is it worth swapping the screen on a 16 RRS out for a screen from a 17 RRS or is it the same screen? I know you can't retrofit the 18 screens for sure.
