Today, we’re installing an aftermarket head unit in my 2006 Range Rover Sport! When we’re done, we’ll have a modern head unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility!
We’re using an In Car Tec kit to retain both the factory information screen and the subwoofers. In the video I’ll go over the whole process of wiring the new harnesses, installing the head unit and subwoofer amplifier, routing the microphone, and prepping for a backup camera.
Important Notes: This install is for the 2005-2009 L320 Range Rover Sport. The harnesses required for cars without Harman Kardon and without Logic 7 are different! Be sure to match the kit you get to your vehicle sound system spec and head unit type (for the steering wheel control adapter).
