Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade the stereo on my 2013 GS. It's only got the basic small screen rather than the coloured screen. Looking at it I'm not so too sure if it would be possible as i think I'd have to replace most of the front fascia. Has anyone done this?

Thanks
James

It's a BIG job......if you want to be the first if you get my meaning.

Wow, that does seem like a massive job way beyond my brain's limits. I forgot to mention I didn't want to upgrade to the LR meridian audio. Just an after market double din stereo. Would that be possible?

Anything is possible but i would imagine the only option to put something would be to remove small display screen and utilize that space as there is no provision for a double din unit in the fascia.
Double din is more for older installations wheres the new installations are screen with IAM hidden behind dash.
There are plenty aftermarket 7" screen systems available for L359. MY15

This question has been asked a few times and the answer is always the same;

Trade it in on another Fl2 which has a touchscreen. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE Si6 Black/Black - Hers

Fair enough. Stereos were never my string point. To be fair the only reason I was going to change it was because a) the dab reception was poor and the screen backlight is way too bright at night! I guess I'll just have to put up with it. Thanks for the info though

Ah, no, not at all.

You imply that the same person has asked the question multiple times hoping for a different answer. This is not the case.

Many different people have enquired about upgrading the Base audio in a MY13 onward car, but regardless who asks, the answer will be the same.

I had been pondering the very same thing myself so now I know what the answer is gonna be I won't ask the question  Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Watched a few Powerfuluk videos
relating to Freelander 2 stereo upgrades.
Assuming these only relate to pre 2013 models?
Was excited to think there was finally a simple upgrade for the 2013 onwards base unit. Guess not though ☹ Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
