Witter is good.

Make sure whoever installs it installs the proper 'official' JLR wiring loom. Costs a few quid more but worth it a) to avoid trouble in case of a warranty issue and b) it integrates properly with the LR2 electrics. Brian

PF Jones are charging £163.20 down from £408.00 (detatchable bar No. R41AQ), not sure about cost of electrics but had no problems with mine.

Are the eletrics plug and play or do you have to cut into the cars wiring, also we're is the connection made at the back or under the bonnet ? Was thinking of a car specific loom

I didn't fit it myself - merely observed from a distance Rolling Eyes

But it is just plug and play and it's all at the rear, under the boot floor on the left.

After fitting you'll need to get a JLR dealer to code it for towing (a 3 minute job, I got it free with a service) or otherwise the reversing sensors will activate when the van's on.

Mine was done by a local outfit for £465 last year. Brian

Why? After market electrics will have no issue if fitted correctly with regards to warranty or car integration. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

PF Jones Witter with their electonics kit. DIY fit them of to the local indy for a software change to kill the rear fogs and reversing beepers - also kills the stop/start mode when electrics plugged in.
