- In this video we at the different version of Amplifier available for the Range Rover Sport L494. There are several sound systems fitted to the Land Rover / Range Rover models and it appears the amplifiers are interchangeable. There is "mid 8" "high 12" "premium 16" and "super premium 24" meridian sound systems. They all have the same connectors and work on the MOST bus. So in this video we shouw how to remove the amp and what part numbers are available.
The spreadsheet of part numbers can be viewed here

for all your Range Rover cccessories
This is a really clear well explained video. I was led to believe that a new amp would need re-coding, but you proved that this is obviously not the case. The comments below even tell me what the green plug is for, Enable for the amp, as I expected. Brill.
Well done Dan with the part number spread sheet 👍
Have you used the link to open it ?
If you have any new info to add please let us know !
Yes the link works great. Thanks again.
If I have no sound anywhere, Radio, Door Open, Parking Sensors, No Nave screen, does this mean my Amp is blown or do I have a different electrical problem?
Hi Ken - this sounds like another electrical problem - I would start checking you have power on each module in the system
@@L663 Hi great videos - love the full series on the RRS :) I have a similar issue on my L494 2015 - I have sound on everything but the bass and sub are non existent even on max - I have the meridian 825w system but my screen under audio settings seems to be stuck on Stereo? I can see the other 3 options but cant select them there not greyed out. I'm not sure if this an amplifier issue or something else?
I am a week in from owning a 206 L494, I do have rear TV’s in the head rest, one of which is not working, and you have made it very easy to see where the wiring harnesses are connected under the seat, I will be checking to see if it’s either unplugged or damaged.
Thank You
Glad it helped
You could try swapping screens - this will tell you if it is the screen or the wiring.
Yes that would make complete sense, I will try work out how to strip it down and remove it, 👍
Love it!! No programming needed
God bless you guys for doing & showing this - as it also applies to Jaguar models as well! Keep up ;)
waiting on that video for the L494 steering wheel buttons upgrade, great videos fellas, cheers
As i am your dutiful servant.... i have done this video for you today !
th-cam.com/video/zAxR-_i9PiE/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy !!
Thank you so much guys for doing this video! I am going to try replacing that same amp on my L494 with an Audison amplifier and MOST bus adapter. Wish me luck!
Hi - please share details of the MOST bus adaptor ! thanks
@@L663 It is made by Audison. I called them and they said it will work with an L494 from 2014 to 2017. www.audison.eu/products/bit-dmi/
HI , just checking how your Audison amplifier work out
was it plug and play?
how was the sound quality?
thanks
@@ceejaya8367 Hey @Ceejay, it worked great. I filmed it and I'll put a video up and send you the link. It sounds amazing even on the stock speakers. I'll be replacing those and adding a subwoofer as well.
@@Trek-eOfficial okay thanks
i will be waiting on the link
You guys are doing a great job but can i encourage you to use your light as often as you can on your vids. Cheers guys.
We hear you loud and clear... for some reason that sport is super dark inside with the black interior / headlining - yes we will use the light more !
Hi ! As far as I see you are a very clever person and you always helps others to upgrade their cars. It is great ! I am Russian from Kazakhstan and I have also decided to upgrade the audio system in my RRS 2017 from base 380 W ( not Meridian) up to Meridian 825 W. I have bought the set that consists of Amp HPLA-19C164-CDC, Sub +18 dynamics. Now I have got only 8 dynamics inside of the doors. It won’t be difficult for me to change existing ones and add four mids bass inside the doors. The new Amp can also be easily changed under the seat and be programmed by using Pathfinder prog. The problem is how to connect the Amp to the remaining six speakers ( Twitter +mid in front panel, two Twitters and two mids in back shelves) and to Sub under spare wheel. I do not know if there are any wirings from Amp to the speakers and Sub which I am going to install. Sorry for my bad English. If there are some connectors how can I find them? Are they marked? Probably you have got any wiring diagrams for RRS L494 or you can advise the numbers of pins on Amp that should be connected to speakers in front and back shelves. I could not find such info on Russian sites for JLR. Hope on your help and understanding. Best Regards, Valeriy.
Hi friend - send and email via our website - FAO Simon
Hi ! I could not find such vebsite FAO Simon. Could you please send me a link for that site?
@@ВалерийПастухов-ж1уhi - he meant go to their website and send an email. FAO = For Attention Of...
Were you successful on your sound upgrade? I too have unfortunately the basic crap sound system on RRS 2017 and desperately need to upgrade. Did you make a video of your upgrade??
Very good video. I'm planning on upgrading the basic amp on my 2009 LR2 (Freelander) to the premium system with rear headphones option.
If your changing the amplifier to upgrade, such as hi-line to prem, there’ll be no benefit until you modify the cars CCF. I think the red prem label is Harmon kardon, yellow prem is meridian.
Green plug is the ignition feed to wake the amp. Grey one which you didn’t mention feeds the IR transmitter for wireless headphones.
Hi - not sure how the CCF file will impact this - its just an amp - power / most signal - there is no CANBUS connection but i will check with my buddies at GAP Diagnostics.
It uses MOST to talk to the other systems onboard. Thats like saying if i add a dab module to the most it will just work, it won't work with out ccf. Take a Hi-Line evoque, if you fit a premium amp and extra speakers they won't work, I know as I've done it, you have to change the ccf so it knows the audio system is now premium and tell it about the extra speakers. You also get extra options on the touch screen with the premium amp.
@@dansonamission I can see adding an extra module may require CCF changes but just changing the amp to one with the same connections just more power.... it worked on our car. Let me get the details from GAP - i am not an expert.
@@dansonamission Dan you are indeed correct - i checked with Gap and they confirmed that " He's right, a CCF change is required if you do want to change the audio system to premium or other." So lets see if anyone can change from a base system to premium 16 etc without CCF - problem fo rme is our car is already prem 16 !
Thanks also for the into on the other connections - why is the green connector so big for 2 wires !
What is a CCF?
Is there a separate fuse for the amp? Trying to troubleshoot some water damage.

All references are to the 8, 12, 16 and 24 speaker systems...what about the Meridian Premium 19 speaker & Meridian Signature 23 speaker systems...what amplifiers do those configurations use?
You don't have to disconnect the backup battery?
Great Vid ole Chap!!
For 2018+ L494 owners, the amp location has MOVED from the 2014-2017 L494!! DO NOT BE ME and go tearing in only to find the infotainment control module and the radio module snuggled up next to each other. If you search the infotainment part number J9D3-11E020-AD it even shows up as an amplifier on some sites. It isn't, and you can tell that by the fact that there's not enough wiring for the 8-16-24 channels that would be coming out of the amplifier. The amp is under the seat on the RIGHT side of the vehicle now. So, passenger side for LHD L494s.
Thanks for the update !
@@L663 Thanks for all the freakin' AWESOME videos! I never would've even tried without your efforts.
Very helpful video. Can you help me to point out the position of the amplifier on 2016-17 evoque. My customer evoque was swimming after heavy rain. The water literally sunk half of the car. After all the cleaning and inspection, the car is up and running again. Now no sound came from all the speaker. I think the MOST is working just fine because all the head unit feature is still accessible. But we believe the amplifier is dead somehow. Some useful links would be much appeciated.
Thank you.
I have a 2014 range rover supercharged everything wirks infotainment touch screen just no volume coming out the speakers please help
first thing to do is to look under the seat and see if you have power going to the amplifier... sometimes there is a water leak - check for water.
@@simonjefferson yes I have power but I do think water has entered into the amp
It's definitely the amp
Awesome video, well done! Thank you!!
Does anyone have a wire diagram for these amps? As in which is low front right + and - and mid front front right + and - and so on?
What source did you find the information that says the Meridian Signature speakers on your spreadsheet are 8 ohm? I am not able to confirm that this is accurate information. Also the spreadsheet shows the meridian standard 380 and the Meridian Surround speakers are 4 ohm. The information found in topix regarding those speakers published by JLR shows them as 2 ohm 200mm door woofers 2 ohm 100mm midranges and 4 ohm aluminum door tweeters. If those impedance values are correct then the Meridian 770 amplifier which is producing approx. 27 watts into the 2 ohm door woofer at 40hz drops to 6.7 watts by upgrading the door 200mm woofer to the Meridian Signature 200mm woofer. With only a slight trade off in reduction of output for increased sound quality, I am leaning toward these signature drivers being 4 ohm. I know that measuring the speaker impedance with an ohm meter is not an accurate measure of the driver impedance but these drivers measure right about 4ohm. Generally the speaker impedance measured with an ohm meter will be about 15% less than the actual nominal impedance rating of the speaker. That would make the value seen on a multi meter to be around 6.8 ohms for an 8ohm driver.
Hi I'm having issues with my amp. I had a water leak in the passenger footwell on my l494. The leak is now sorted and fully dried out. As a consequence I've no sound or radio and sat nav and bluetooth modules off. After a diagnostic test the amp is faulty. Is it possible to swap the amp with a compatible one or will it need coding? Any help would be great thanks.
Hi Mark - it should not need coding - just get the same engineering part number and you should be home and dry ! ( excuse the pun )
Brilliant that's great thanks very much you have been very helpful
Apologies for a last question. When you say the part number do you mean the 19c164 part number. So for example if mine was hpla-19c164-adc I need exactly the same? Does it need to have come from the same model or would for example a discovery one work? Thanks again
@@markg2550 No problem - ideally the same PN - i think the final suffix is just -AD dont worry about the rest
It should be cheap on ebay as its the 400w base amp
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333820500657?epid=5036300528&hash=item4db9409ab1:g:lIoAAOSwmGNf0eTr

Thankyou again that's very helpful. You have been v kind to respond
Aussie watcher here. Thank you for the content! Appreciated! I have a 2016 RR Sport HSE with the Meridian Sound. I am getting static from the speaker even if the car is off, and when the audio is on the sounds cuts in and out randomly. I suspect it is the AMP. Do you know if I remove the AMP (to try and get it repaired of replaced) will the rest of the infotainment system work on the screen? Basically I want to be able to drive the car without the amp in the car and of course the audio not working. Cheers !
Currently I have a AUD3-8 (EW93-19C164-CB), I purchased a AUD3-12 (AW93-19C164-AR) as an upgraded replacement. Plugged the new one in and nothing. Can you help with an explanation on why this isn't working? What should I be looking for as an upgrade for my current Amp?
Please help.
Hi - i would think this would work...check the connections etc. Do you know it was working before you purchased it ?
@@L663 I was told it did, but no way to be sure as I purchased off of ebay.
Hi do you think connecting a hi to low converter to the speaker wire which would run a separate aftermarket amp would work ? Just trying to run a separate 12inch sub
Yes, or any amp (mono block) with hi level input should run.
Well done Dan. Come on Simon L200 upgrades
Hi from New Caledonia in the Pacific, my DX23-19C164-BA is dead (sunroof water leak on my L494 14.5) it had the yellow PREM16 sticker, a other written COMTEC below and on side a other sticker with my vin number and a part number BJ32-19C164-B*. Both models works, correct ? GK52-19C164-BA also ? Very difficult to find a Ebay seller who send to New Caledonia. Thanks.Oliver
OK so i checked the PN and yes this is 16 Premium
The BJ32 number does not find any items on the JLR system
The GK32 number should be compatible - thats my understanding !
You are welcome to get the item sent to our address and arrange for DHL to collect from us.
I just looked where New Caledonia is !
I cannot imagine there are many Range Rover Sport's on the Island !
@@L663 Many thanks ! Lot of RRS in N.Caledonia, mine is a SC AB Dynamic in Aleutian Silver.
Yet I see the BJ32-19C64-BG in board on your message with TheMalakyte. Find one in Ebay from UK at £240.
Also find on ebay UK a DX23-16C164-BA at £349.99
Hi Simon, I have a question, I bought a new amplifier at the land rover dealer and I want to assemble it myself I want to know if when you buy it they are already programmed that it is just to connect it and it works oh you have to take it to program help me with that please !!
I am pretty sure you can plug and play and it will be fine.. All mine have worked OK with the exception of the Evoque where i have tried to upgrade the system to 16 speaker and the extra speakers do not work - but if you are just replacing a broken amp you should be OK. Worst case you can take it back to the dealer for programming and save yourself the labnour charge as they will just need to plug the laptop in... but I would put money on you being fine - it will plug and play ... let us know how you get on !
@@L663 Ok Thanks Simon, I'm going to do it today mine is a RRS L494 2014 with the 8-speaker system, it is only to replace the old one that is damaged with the new one that I bought at the dealer. I'll let you know
@@L663 hi Simon, I did it but it does not give me the option to select audio / video on the radio screen so I think I will have to go to the dealer, connect everything correctly but it does not work for me, it has no sound
@@jeffreymejia8230 Was this the problem before ( why you are replacing the amp ? ) or is this a different problem
To me it sounds like a MOST buss uss ( the optical lead ring ) see my other video

Hi, looking for your expert advice. I've upgraded amplifier from base to premium 16 and now handsfree works only from dash centre speaker. Hardly can hear anything.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
could anyone tell me where the AMp is on a 2012 RR sport?...thank you
I have all the components to make the change .. I need to know if I just have to remove and put. I don't need to reflash the computer or something?
@powerfuluk Please can you make the Google sheet in your description something you can download? I can't seem to expand all the columns to work out which model is which. Thanks

@@L663 Awesome thanks!
Ware is the part number list for the amps please
I’m confused. So if you swap your high line amp to a higher wattage premium amp will it make a difference to the sound without messing with the ccf? OrIs it just if you add the extra speakers you need the ccf tweek?
I dont think the CCF files control much of the audio system - its just like stereo on your car ! in fact i dont think it has a CANBus connection - just optical so i guess its only controlled with the optical link.
Hi, i have a range rover sport 2014 and my radio and navigation has stopped working. I ordered a radio DVD navigation unit from Ebay and its the same issue. Do you think the fault could be that the faulty amplifier has broken the optical lines? I cant press audio/video on touch screen, its not responding.
Thanks for the video also.

Hello, I checked your google Sheets and there are some x marks.
I have bought BJ32-19C164-BG amp for my L494. Will it fit and is it possible to make CCF modifications to unlock surround mode or I need to find another Amp with different engineering number?
Thank you!
Thank you, gyus! Great video! I have a jag and i'm searching for some info about upgrade, and your researches and information is really helpful!
They say, work of speakers depends on firmware (configuration), loaded to the amplifier, because different cars have different pinout.
So if one take speaker from jag, he should put right firmware for LR to make speakers work correctly (Because of speakers locations, types and etc.)
I think you can just swap the parts from LR to JAG with no problem - if you give me part number i maybe can help you more.
how if I want fit speakers in luggage and is not available in the car .. could you help me?
also maybe perhaps a video on how to repair bumper sensors on the L494? My crash repaired range rover doesnt seem to have the feature functioning
Hello. your videos about RR are great, is it possible to make a video about installing soft close on RR SPORT?
Is it 1700w amplifier meridian signature??
Another awesome video, thanks!
I had to replace my premium16 on a 14 L405. Infotainment and dash see it, but no sound. FL16 didn't help. Any ideas? Thanks
This is odd - if the MOST bus is OK and not showing any errors - not sure where to go next - unless the 2nd amp you tried was faulty too.
@@L663 bought it brand new. It is the new part/replacement number, but for the same premium16.
LR does not make it easy do they?
Hey quick question, you guys seem like the most knowledgeable people out there on the l494 platform. My left reverse light has a short somewhere. It’s definitely not the bulb or the tail light I’ve tested both. Where does the (+) wire lead to into the chassis from the lamp? I’m a trying to find the short and it’s driving me nuts. I want to replace my tails with what you’re selling but first I want to fix this issue.
Hi - quick fix could be run the reverse signal from the RH lamp ? not great i know but may be a quick fix ?
powerfulukltd I’ll try it. Thanks
hi just seeing this checking out some other issues with amps, when your rear light is shot the BCM shuts down comm and activity to that light until its replaced and a diagnostic tool is used to reset the BCM
Hi Power UK I have just got a RR sport 2013/14 new shape. I have bought a full set of super premium speakers, also a premium amp, also a premium sub. I am wondering will I be able to fit all these as my current sound system is the most basic. Will the sub-area have a wire there to plugin too. Finally how will I control sub as on the current screen there is no sub-option... Please get back to me at your earliest in case I have made an expensive mistake. Thanks again and love all my parts I have got to date.
Hi, I'm extremely late on this thread 😅... Just wanted to find out if you managed to successfully upgrade your sound system with just plug and play or did it not work? If you have done a video about, I'd love to see it. Thanks
Great video . I just wanted you ask your help please I have l494 with low line amplifier and basic speakers and where can I buy super premium system if you can let me know the speakers part number and also if buy super premium amplifier which is on eBay for £500 but I’m not sure if it will fit on my car and the size ,fitting and connectors are the same and plug and play .I am confused with so many different shapes and size on eBay and not sure if low line and be upgraded to super premium 24 ( 2500 watt ) any help will be appreciated
powerfulUK sells the super premium speakers on their website.. but you will need to upgrade the amp to the premium 16 amp (which is 1200w ...the base system is only 400w)
Hi
Anyone knowns if the crossover for the speakers (Tweeters, Midranges and Woofers) are INSIDE of the amplifier?
If yes, that means that, on the amplifier, the output for the Tweeters, Midranges and Woofers has already passed the crossover and the cables go direct to the speakers...
Or is the crossover somewhere between the amplifier and speakers?
I would also like to know this. However it is unlikely AFTER the amplifier. I think it'll be inside the amp or before the amp in the head unit.
Are some of this amp compatible with the l322 2007?
i dont think so - but for 2010 on L322 they are compatible.
What amp can I put on the l322. I think I have the 600W
Hi Guys... another fantastic video...
Please help....
I have L320 late 2012. Amp in boot.

what amp is good i have svr 2015 my amp no good the factory is to much money
Great video thanks , i have been told by a dealer only today my amp module has gone and they are coded to the car, ( this video shows thats not true !!! ) my only concern is the part number Landrover gave me is LR081470 which I dont see on your list . My car is a 2017 Range Rover evoque Signature. Im guessing grom your video any of these amps should work. Thanks again great Channel I use it all the time

@powerfulukltd Many thanks to Dan and yourself on the spreadsheet it helped narrow down compatible amps for my F-Pace. Really enjoy projects like this and especially ones that result from dealerships going "nope not possible in the slightest.... you'll need to buy a new car". Can we possibly see some more content of hardware installation and enabling and installing features through CCF modification?

Do you have the low end setup with 8 speakers? Does it sound better with the upgraded speakers but not the upgraded amp? Have you replaced the amp yet? If so, which one did you choose? And did you notice any issues with Bluetooth sound quality on phone calls?
Following on this because I have a base speaker set up that sounds like shit

Can anyone help or point me in which direction I should go. Im tempted to just back to the Mid 8 amp and scrap the idea totally and just accept the poor sound :(
If you still haven't figured out the issue, I will tell you what needs to be done
Nicola Pezzotta I have just about solved it...I had a friend bridge the tweeter and mid connections at the amp and daisy chain the wires at the tweeters after installing mids. Seems to be working fine so far. What is your method ? Thanks for replying.
@@gugsy25 basically the problem is that with the new amp, system sounds and Bluetooth calls, along with front parking sensor alert sounds, are channeled through the front doors mid speakers.. While the connectors for mid speakers are there in the front door electrical wiring, the pins on the main connector from door to car body aren't there. So, after installing the 16 premium amp, front twitters work fine, but front mid speakers won't work. The problem is there. You can either do as you did, or more quickly cut the existing mid speakers connectors, solder about 50 cm of electrical wire, make it pass through the panel and the rubber cable protection from door to car body, solder 2 compatible female pins and put them in the correct position in the main connector ( wich are 3 and 18, can't remember the + and - places). The male pins in the car body side ( coming from the amp) are already there.
Basically the problem is just on the front doors electrical wiring, they do have a connector for the mids but then the wires stops somewhere and there are no pins on the harness

Hi, after seeing this clip and the speakers upgrade I bought the speakers off you, a prem 16 purple amp off eBay and fitted them. If fitted the speakers first and was very impressed by the improvement without the amp upgrade! I then fitted the amp which again was an improvement but not massive but, my phone speaker now doesn’t work very well. Bluetooth music works perfect as well as the phone mic. I tried my old amp back in to fault find and every thing goes back to working perfect. I have spoken with the seller of the amp and he is refusing to refund as it’s not the amp at fault it’s the fact I haven’t done a software update or instal. I don’t recall there being a requirement for a software change on your amps or have I got this wrong? Dan
We have not done your specific upgrade but we have swapped amps about and so far not had to change any config settings. I dont think the amp even has a CANbus connection so not sure that you can update it as such - it all works off the digital. You should have the right to return goods under the distance selling regulations. Let me know and i can have a look and send you s prem 16 amp for you to test to see if its the amp or the upgrade.... we try and look after our customers...
powerfulukltd I was actually going to open a dispute with EBay as it was only £140 and see where it went but didn’t want to dispute if you had knowledge of this issue also. As mine originally was a mid 8 I was going to buy a prem 16 yellow and hope that would get me around this and any other problem. If you are happy to let me try one that would be amaizing customer service and I would happily cover carriage there and back but if it worked would you be happy to sell a yellow 16?

Gosh...that worries me as I have the £4100 full entertainment system with internet, DVD and television so I guess mine is more complex again. You really don’t want one of these if it has been in a flood! 😩😩😃😃😀😀😀
You are super flash with the full entertainment system !
Yes floods and incontinence are best avoided !
powerfulukltd It was spec’d by Land Rover and has the entire options list except for the garage door opener. The list price was £64810..for a Discovery Sport and nine months later I bought it for £37,500!! Your films impress and frighten me in case it all goes wrong when the warranty runs out! 😱😃😃😃😃

Hi guys... I have a 2014 rrs autobiography which has developed a popping l/crackling noise, landrover have said its my amp, my code is GK52-19C164-BA (so they tell me), at over £1k.... can I fit a different amp aslong as the new amp has a code of 19c164 ??... and is it as simple as removing old and fitting new, so no coding needs doing? Any help would be appreciated
