2007 Range Rover L322 radio not working fixed

[@davekaufmann2800]

THIS IS BRILLIANT! I have searched across continents for answers, downloaded tech sheets, replaced radios, wiring, amplifiers, done resets as all suggested by others. This was it. 10 minutes and it was working again. Thanks for your awesome post!!!

[@camillegray6037]

I want to thank you so much. I’m helping my best friend get the 2008 range rover fixed. Her sister died. And this was hers. This was miraculous. Thank you so much for this great great fix!

[@justincuyler646]

Hey, I didn't read all the comments so I'm not sure if others mentioned it, but this was also the fix for our 2011 LR4 HSE (US edition). The difference is the location of the Bluetooth module and how it looks. You'll find it behind the passenger's side panel in the trunk (boot) area. Before I found this video and this fix, I replace the radio and amplifier with Ebay parts at reasonable expense, but still no go. This isolated the problem to the bluetooth module. I've temporarily looped the fiber optic bus until I can locate a replacement module. Dealer trip avoided!! Huge thanks to K John.

[@robertcrowley6573]

Can't thank you enough. I had no clue and was contemplating an expensive repair, instead I did the job myself in 10 minutes, all thanks to your tutorial. Amazing since my brother works at the Solihull plant and didn't have a clue either! Lol

[@evaloyd4442]

Thank you!!! We did exactly what you said and fixed our problem!! You just saved me major money by not having to go to the dealership. A million thanks for sharing!!!

[@chris107892]

Genius - worked perfectly on my L322. Really appeciate you making the effort to post this. I used a bit of 6mm pcv tube (4mm id) to line up the connectors - just seemed easiest as I had lying around. Thanks again!!

[@tsaleh5077]

I placed the optical lines against each other per your suggestion and simply used duct tape to keep them in place. Thanks for the great video, saved me lot of $$$!

[@richardtocher8338]

Many Thanks. Very clear guidance. I had exactly the same fault, and had the Bluetooth module successfully bypassed in 10 minutes. Even better when I’ve never used Bluetooth in the 10 years of owning the Rangie!

[@destinysanders6221]

Yeeesss!!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!! After one day of driving to and from work with no tunes... I was going BONKERS. Now, I'm back in business and ready for tomorrow! Hell yeah man, thanks a million!

[@BigDog1906]

I'd like to personally THANK YOU for the most effective & descriptive, money saving video posted on KZbin! My man; you literally saved me at least $1000. I never use the bluetooth feature in my 06' Range anyhow. Awesome job!

[@JohnDryden100]

I just wanted to say thank you! I originally followed your steps and could not see light coming through one of the cables, so I thought it was somewhere else in my complete setup! Needless to say, I followed your steps to the easy fix, and it definitely assisted me greatly on my Supercharged 2007 Vogue. Many thanks and I am very excited to have back my sound and backing camera. I have purchased another Bluetooth unit from eBay so here is hoping it works. Thanks once again.

[@JohnDryden100]

I would like to add to my comment above K John as this is fantastic. I went online and found another module on eBay for a relative amount and ordered from the U.S. Packaged arrived ahead of predicted mail time by 2 weeks. I aptly applied the 25 mill tool from my garage and removed the offending module, and saw exactly moisture build up in the pins on the module. I cleaned the plug fittings with pure alcohol and wiped all clean and refitted in reverse order of above. Turned the car back on, automatically found Blutooth, and reconnected my iPhone, and no programming or fitting from a dealership required. Thanks so much, got me through a time whilst without Blutooth, and now back up and running, Cheers

OH MY GOOODNEESSS , Thanks bro.. You have no idea how much your video saved me, money, brain cells and my RR's life..Thank you so much...

[@BluesDeluxeUK]

Utterly brilliant, thank you for putting this video up. My radio now works I tried to reuse the plastic plug as you described but that didn’t work however, I used the brass insert from an electrical coupler (the plastic blocks with a brass tube and two screws in them) to hold the two fibre optic cables in alignment . Worked a treat - thanks again !

[@thamestraveller]

This worked perfectly - thanks so much for your very helpful video. The connectors on my wiring harness were heavily corroded. A bit of gaffer tape to hold the fibres back in place facing each other on their connector and all is well again (without the telephone)!

[@andreoker1405]

Sweet!! Came across your video in search of a solution to my radio not working. Followed your direction and it worked. The only thing is that little blue piece doesn’t lock in the two cables when putting them in halfway, so I just taped around them to hold it. Thanks for the help!!!

[@nobell1537]

soo many thanks for this vid,,i live in france and was quoted 1700e for this fix,,,took me 3 mins,,soo gratefull you put this up,,,thanks again.

Thanks for this. FYI for me all I needed to do was unplug the module and plug it back in. I did it with the car running and the screen came back. I hope it lasts.

I did it on my Supercharged 2010 but didn't fix the radio, still "Range Rover" on the screen... Does that mean the BT module is working but something else isn't? (Like the amplifier).

[@ShorrtieeXo]

Have you ever dealt with radio interference and static noise across all of the speakers? I have a 2009 Range Rover L332 and It comes and goes but it’s extremely loud and you can’t make it stop unless you turn the car off completely. Any suggestions you might have would be wonderful.

[@lauracatherinemiller2946]

Unreal. Perfect explanation of how to do as well as EXACTLY why they fail. Freakin' moisture. I too have fixed almost everything on my 07 l322 SC and am currently stuck on trying to figure out what is causing a parasitic battery drain. I've gone through so many brand new top of the line $300 batteries only to have them completely drained within a month. I literally have to jump my truck everytime I start it now. I think it's a faulty tpms module bc it's causing all kinds of other havoc on the canbus system too I think. Throwing all kinds of communication codes. I'm considering just unplugging the tpms module entirely. Any suggestions??

[@kjohn8635]

Hello and thanks for watching. Sorry for late response. Is Screen staying on when you lock it? The TPMS module shouldn't drain your battery. But I do understand those canbus gremlins can drive you crazy

Bravo. I love when people make concise and efficient videos. I'm actually looking for the easiest way to integrate music from my iphone on an 06 HSE. What a pain. My CD changer doesn't work... so I'm curious what the connectors are to the the amp... and if I can possibly just replace that input with a stereo pair... ultimately breaking out in a female mini jack. Has anyone done similar? all the solutions seem a bit overly complex. I just need tunes.... and i'm happy to charge using a lighter plug adapter.

[@kjohn8635]

OH NO. Not a suspension fault, max speed 35MPH. You might have a faulty ride height sensor. Go get a free diagnostic scan and then let me know the codes. I will let you know what and how to get it done. I've change compressor, all ride height sensors, air manifold block and air bag strut. Oh and make sure you have a very good battery. A weak battery makes Rovers go nuts

Dear Sir, I have a l322 2007 the rear left corner seems to be dropping over night. I have replaced the air suspension unit but still have this issue? Would you have any suggestions on how I can rectify this? Thankyou.

[@kjohn8635]

Get some soapy water in a spray bottle. Access your air suspension rear valve block which is located behind the passenger side rear wheel well liner. Raise the L322 to it's highest point. Spray valve and see if you see any air bubbles. Also spray air suspension unit, top to bottom and hose connection. I had a small pin hole in rubber airbag of air strut. For my dropping over night issues, I changed the strut and ride height sensor for the corner that kept dropping and I also replaced the air suspension valve block. I dealt with everything all at one time. Hope this helps

Ok so i had that same problem with my radio in my 2005 range rover hse.. i bypassed the bluetooth module like you did in this video.. so before I did it would be stuck on the Land Rover screen just like yours text you tomorrow... After I bypass the module the radio and everything came on what about 15 seconds after that the radio went completely off and the screen went dark navigation lights... If I cut it off and started back up the same thing Land Rover screen and the radio comes on 15-20 seconds later it would turn completely off and blank out and will not come back on until I cut the truck off and then started back up...what do you think that might be? I'm thinking maybe the amplifier below the module.

[@kjohn8635]

Check your volts and amps on your battery. Make sure you're using a battery rated for your Rover. If you have a good battery, disconnect cables for an hour and then reconnect. A lot of electrical gremlins happened because of an overload battery. I had a cheap battery in mine and worked perfect for a couple months and then all of a sudden warning lights started popping up and the truck would shut down

YOU ARE AWESOME. Do you have fixes for air compressor not inflating front?

[@kjohn8635]

Thanks for watching. Is both front not inflating or is it just one side? If the back is inflating and holding air, you should not have an issue with the compressor. You most likely have a leak somewhere and you need to find it. If you can get access to the air bag/strut, get a spray bottle of soapy water and lower the vehicle and then put it in ride height and spray air bag and hose connection to see if you can see air bubbles revealing your leak. If no leak, check the air valve block which is located behind the front passenger wheelwell (search- L322 Range Rover - How To Depressurize Air Springs) to find it. Spray the valve block and see if there's bubbles. Hopefully you can find your issue. Good luck and keep me posted. Cheers!

Hello there Mal here from N.Ireland would that trick work with the 02 Vogue model ? ?

[@kjohn8635]

Hello the 02'Vogue is BMW based and to my knowledge a phone cradle should be in the center console which would be connected to a ULF in the left side of the boot. Bluetooth modules were not OE. It would be aftermarket if there's one installed. Try to pair your phone with the ULF. With the ignition off, press and hold the pairing button on the cradle (not the wheel). Hold for 5 seconds, then (whilst button still pressed) turn the ignition to the accessory position, let the button go after a further couple of seconds. The monitor should say "Bluetooth pairing " and the 3 small LEDs on the monitor will flash. On your phone search for bluetooth devices select the BMW one and enter the 4 digit pin that is on the part number sticker of the ULF or the sticker near your car phone. You should hear a beep and see "Pairing successful" Turn ignition off to exit pairing mode. Hope this helps. Cheers
