If anything goes wrong with the existing camera system, it could be easily replaced with a brand new system at no cost. This article is intended to give a complete know-how on installing a reverse backup camera that operates automatically when one puts one’s Range Rover in reverse.
The best thing about this replacement is that you don’t need any tool to operate this. All you need is certain level of knowledge and skill, and the job is done. You can also take advice from the Land Rover Greensboro experts.
First Step:
- In the Range Rover 2003-2004, a reverse backup camera can be connected with the television module providing you with full backup camera function on your Range Rover Display.
- Make sure that the car is equipped with BMW TV video module. If not equipped, be sure to retrofit Range Rover Television module. Search in Google: retrofit range rover television module — for available options.

Second Step:
- Fix switching module BLUE wire into Pin 17 on the BLUE plug on your TV video module.
- Move the Black Locking lever to the side on your TV video module to turn loose the Blue plug.
- Detach the cover of the blue plug by gently rasing the cover locking tab with the help of a small screw driver. Then slip the cover off.
- Thrust the BLUE pin into the Pin location 17. A close look will reveal the number 18 on the black part of the plug. Pin 17 would be the next pin location over.
