Australia 2008 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Sumatra Black

AW93-14F641-AE

Jag p/n C2D18379
Landy p/n LR034089

It was originally fitted to the Jag XF & XJ, the Evoque, Disco4, RRS (2010-2013) and new Vogue 2013 onwards.

Has been superceded to -AF, -AG, -AH versions in both Jag and Land Rover, and they are used in the new RRS too.

What's interesting for me is this is not the module used in the F-Type, they have a totally different part number.

And good news it's not a wacky Japanese ISDB-T one, it's a proper DVB-T receiver.

Doesn't look like it fits where the DAB module goes...

I'm guessing the Evoque might be pre-wired for the gray connector on the left of the unit? The power connector looks like it might be the same as the one off the DAB. The MOST is MOST. The Fakra coax connectors, perhaps one pair is the same as the DAB, and the other pair runs to the touchscreen? (just guessing) 2008 Freelander 2 HSE Si6 Black/Black - Hers

Agree, the brown and green Fakra are TV1 and TV2.
Both these inputs are present on the FL2.
Arial input requirements would need to be looked into.
Would need an electrical schematic for the greyish plug to see what's required there. This is the only plug not already existing.
Definately look like it would not fit in the DAB position in the a Freelander 2.
I would assume the module would be DAB & DVB-t. Otherwise you'd be doubling up! MY15

If you're prepared to come out to The Hills...

Takes a few hours to do the hardware swap and programming.


Hey Cambo, I'd totally be interested in this. How much do you reckon the conversion costs all up?

Hey Phil,

Cost really depends on how much it to buy the parts, the Amp is the big ticket item, I just bought one for Jag that i'm working on and it cost about $450 delivered. The additional speakers are about $450 delivered as well. Then there's a few hours for the install and programming.

Probably $1000 installed or thereabouts, depending on how much the amp actually costs and if you're ok to pay for a few hours of time. If we can get lucky with an amp then even less...

Send me a PM if you're keen to do something. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE Si6 Black/Black - Hers

Just the extra speakers needed now. Stuart do you have part numbers before I call Dan and do his head in?

Hi Jim,
LR025878 I believe is the part number for the centre dash speaker.
I don't have the D-pilar part number handy but Dan is the guy to call as I got my speakers off him so he"ll know straight away what you need Thumbs Up MY15

Hey Jim,
Whats the location of the TV module in the Evoque?
I'd like to take a look at my wiring to see if there is any existing wiring.
Have been informed that FL2 and Evoque have identical electrical systems.
There is a spare MOST termination next to the CJB and what looks like a spare module position so be curious to know where it goes in the Evoque Thumbs Up MY15

Well that's encouraging as there's an abundance of wiring under the seats. Mind you I don't recall a MOST connection. Driver or passenger? MY15

These are the connections on my touchscreen.




I don't have a actuall pic of my head unit but I this is another which is also IAM2.1 Level 3




Quite a difference!
Is the wiring present in the Evoque?
You'll also need to change the dome for one with GPS circuitry. MY15
