Hi guys,I had to replace my radio in my car due to it draining my battery,I bought a 2nd hand one on e Bay...it works fine but then comes up Invalid Vin ,then shuts down after 30 seconds...any ideas how I can fix this ? 07 plate Freelander TD4....

Hi Johnny, I've no direct experience with this issue, but given LR and their use of proprietary software, you will likely have to get the VIN of the used radio/stereo registered with the central 'brain'. Basically marry/register the stereo to the vehicle. A Mongoose cable and JLR SDD software or a GAP tool.

Thanks for that,I have been told I may have to go to a L.R. garage to get it diagnosed....

Mikey in Dundee IIRC could sort that out easily I would think. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

I was told years ago by a landrover dealer that a used radio was locked to a vin no and could not be reprogrammed to a new vehicle however that might not be the case today!
