Cd Changer Installation - Land Rovers Only

ashrx · 08-03-2007, 08:06 PM

I'm looking to put in a used Factory CD Changer into a 2001 Disco. I know the harness should be under the passenger seat. I'm wondering where though. I've looked and there seems to be a lot of wiring for the power seats. Has anyone had experience installing one?? Could it be tucked in under the carpet??

Yes, it could be tucked under the seat or carpet. Lookk for a wire harness that has a matching plug to what is on your CD player.

Is the cable usually installed even tho the cd was not? I have not been able to find the cable either.

Thanks

On most model usually. That being said, I don't know if there were some years that maybe they weren't installed on th SD's.

"Is my DSII pre-wired for the Land Rover CD Changer? It depends. All early US-spec leather DSIIs are pre-wired for the CD Changer. Cloth DSIIs are not. All but the first Duragrain (SD) DSIIs are not. The LE is not. For those that are not pre-wired, some additional labor is required, and you MAY need to purchase the CD Changer Brackets. The part #'s you need are as follows. You can get these from your Land Rover Parts Department:
CD Changer Data Cable P/N: LRN50520 $12.50
CD Changer Brackets P/N: LRN50530 $29.03

I found this on the Discovery Owners Club. Not sure how accurate it is.

Update: Apparently some 2001 SDs have the Cd button on the radio and Pre-installed brackets, but no data cable for the Cd Changer. Bizarre??? Yes. I installed the Cd changer, snaked the cable through the dash and under the carpet and everything is working fine.
