If any problems are encountered, don't forget that all light circuits are monitored on FL2, and may react to over/under resistance on line by turning off that feed.

Just installed a rear view cam on my freelander. In my case it was green-white wire.

Blaster - I'll be doing mine this weekend, hoping to just tap into the reverse lights too.

Did you also tap into a ground from the reverse light?
Any issues so far with FET? Did you need to do a reset?

Are either of you using a factory GPS screen to display the back up cam. If so, were you able to find and inexpensive media interface?

I’m using aftermarket android unit. Did my install today, went super smooth actually. Tapped into the green-white wire for power and hid the video cable under the floor trim from the lights to front of the car.

I got this one - https://www.carnaviplayer.com/freelander-2...rade-p-914

Currently having an issue with audio on it though, where I get some feedback from the right speakers at random times. They seem to think its a loose wire somewhere, but I've yet to have the time to unplug and check all the connections.

I do feel like most people go with this - https://xtrons.com/land-rover-android-12-o...-ia72dlrls

I do have a feeling that they are all the same systems, just branded differently and slight changes in software. I do have to give a credit to xtrons customer support tho.
