Phoned and explained what you put. He laughed as that seems to be it, the new box should bypass the existing one, which he didn't do (minimal instructions in the box didn't make this obvious).

I'll drop the car in on Wednesday morning for him to redo it, so fingers crossed that's all it is. Cheers again and I'll update either way later in the week 🙂 

Like this (shows different module, but wiring is the same).

You're awesome 👍🏻

20 minutes for him to swap the cable around so it plugs directly in, and tidy it back up, it's now working perfectly.

Only connected my phone, played music, and tried the navigation on a quick 10 minute journey, but it seems like a fantastic bit of kit.

I've owned the Freelander for 6½ years and had been debating replacing it for something else, but I couldn't decide what as I love the size and capabilities of it. So this media upgrade - despite the screen not being the biggest, or having the highest resolution - definitely helps modernise it a touch!

Will explore more of the settings/use it more in the next week or so.

Thanks again for the pointer in the right direction 🙂 

Glad you got it sorted.

Definitely feels like a worthwhile upgrade, especially as JLR are no longer updating maps (or anything else) for the Freelander.
