2003-2004 Range Rover Bluetooth Installation Instructions

Installation instructions below are for the Range Rover Bluetooth Kits for 2003-2004 US Range Rovers, and 2002-2004 Euro Range Rovers: Click here to buy now. Range Rovers built within this range were based on the BMW system and can be retrofitted with the BMW Bluetooth Upgrade module.

NOTE: Our Bluetooth Kits come with the latest Generation BMW ULF modules Available (and NOT the problematic first generation 84 21 954 552 others are selling,   Be careful on getting older ULF modules as some people have had difficulties and incompatibilities with the old first generation ULF modules.  Why use Our Bluetooth Solution?

Before starting remove the Bluetooth passkey sticker from the label of the Bluetooth ULF control Module.  Put this sticker someplace safe.  I recommend putting this sticker in the glove box stuck inside the user manual.

Open the Storage compartment on the rear left side of the car where the navigation computer is located,

Panel Removed

If your Rover is a US model, reach your hand between the amplifier bracket and the plastic floor piece and locate the telephone wiring harness connector

Lift the phone connector up slightly.  Connector should be dangling between the radio module and the amplifier bracket

Connect the Bimmernav.com Bluetooth upgrade harness to this connector.

If you can not easily find this connector, you can simply lift up the spare tire cover and easily remove the black plastic cover by removing the plastic nuts and the rear "luggage tie downs" shown removed in this picture.  Once the nuts are removed you can swing the cover out of place. 

The below image shows the connection with the plastic trim piece removed

In the Euro Rover, locate the 54 pin connector and using the 54 adapter harness in your kit connect to the 54 pin telephone prewiring cable in your car.  Do NOT connect the Bluetooth module directly to the Range Rover 54 pin connector wiring in the Euro Rover. Although the plugs are the same the wiring is quite different.  Doing so could damage your car or your Bluetooth module.   You must connect the ULF module to the Range Rover using the provided adapter harness as shown below in the Euro picture.

Connect the 54 pin connector to one end of the ULF module, and the cream/purple colored Bluetooth antenna wire to the other end of the ULF module.  

Find a suitable mounting location using the bracket already attached to the Bluetooth control module.  If you removed the plastic trim piece you can use the Range Rover telephone bracket already installed in your car. Just line up the holes on the bracket with the Bluetooth module

I mounted my Bluetooth module with the antenna connector closest to the tail lights using standard screws and nuts.  Make sure you connect the antenna wire and plug wire before mounting to ensure a proper fit.  In my mounting configuration shown below only two screws where used, although it worked perfectly.

Connect the Bluetooth antenna wire as part of the Rover Bluetooth retrofit kit from the Bluetooth module to the Bluetooth antenna and mount in a suitable location.  Mounting brackets should already be directly on top of the navigation computer as shown below

The Microphone is installed in the overhead console , where your overhead lights and sun-roof switches are located. It's easier to just pry the lights out with you bare hands, and then pop out the mic cover with your bare hands.   You MUST mount the microphone with the arrow pointed towards the front of the car.  Just line up the arrow and snap the microphone into place.

In the US rover, to access the microphone connector under the cupholder/ashtray, simply open the center console storing compartment and pull the ashtray/cupholder upwards from the back.  You will connect the bluetooth microphone wiring to this connector.  See link for simple details on extending the microphone wiring from the rear compartment to center console.

Arrow below points to microphone wire connection

In the Euro Rover with prewiring for telephone, you can order your Bluetooth kit with pairing button OR eject box.  If your Rover does not already have the Siemens BIT II phone, you must replace the solid trim piece with the phone version trim piece in the arm rest.  Trim piece available at your local Rover dealer.  I am told the part number for the replacement trim piece is FJB000130PVA, stowage box upper with telephone (last photo below shows this trim piece installed). 

If your Rover was previously equipped with a Rover phone system, Please indicate when ordering so that we can provide you with the correct replacement eject box.  If your rover was equipped with phone it will look like the image below.  Most Euro customers order their Bluetooth kits with the pairing button if their Rovers do not already have the phone system.

Once your Bluetooth kit is installed pair your phone to the system using the pairing instructions in the below User manual.  The process is quite simple.  Press and hold the pairing button with the ignition off.  While holding the button turn the ignition on and left go of the button after 3 seconds.  Your instrument cluster should show the words "Bluetooth pairing.  Once in pairing mode use the phone to discover the system and enter the pass key found on your Bluetooth module.
