Connect the blue and white connectors that came with your TV retrofit
kit directly to the TV video module. In order for the
Television feature to operate you will need to connect the TV antenna
connectors to the TV video module. The kit does not come with
the Television antenna wiring or antenna amps. If desired, you can
purchase these parts from your local Land Rover dealer. The
Antenna amp part numbers are XUO000040. The BMW equivalent part
numbers are 65 25 6 990 093. One of the antenna leads may
already be in your Rover. the BMW part numbers for the antenna
leads are 61 11 36 415 124 right side and 61 11 36 415 125 left

attached to the White plug are the video input, output and Rear backup
camera connections.
Prior to
replacing the
radio wiring harness, remove the small white plug from the radio
harness plug
Take the
cover off the
white plug and connect the two pins into position 11 and 12.
Plug the yellow wire into position 11 and the yellow/blue wire into
position 12. Once you have added the audio plugs to the
radio, plug the white plug back into the radio harness connector and
connect back the radio.
Disconnect
the blue
plug on the back of the navigation computer. Connect that
blue plug into the socket on the TV video module retrofit kit and

on the ignition to test out. If Television is not shown right
away, turn off the car and let it sit for about 45 minutes before
trying again.
Once Installed to activate rear backup camera just start the car, and put in reverse
The
camera I used was a mirror image version so that it is equivalent to
looking in the rear view mirror. I prefer it this way myself, but
there are other cameras available without the mirror image. This backup camera is now offered on our webstore
