I recently purchased a 2006 L322. I knew when i purchased it that the radio did not work. The system was displaying the Land Rover logo and the orange light was flashing.
Research on here led me to believe it was the Bluetooth Module, so before investing in a new module I bought a fibre optic loop byepass, fitted it to the fibre optic plug going into the Bluetooth Module. The logo was still the same and the orange light was still flashing.
So I booked the car into a garage that specialised in Land Rovers and Range Rovers for diagnosis, they told me it was the TV module. I purchased a used TV module, it did not make any difference.
The car was subsequently booked into a Vehicle Electrics speciailist. They diagnosed the Harmo Kardon Logic 7 Amp, I purchased a replacement and fitted it and it did not solve the problem
My Icarsoft scanner was still saying it was a fibre optic fault so over the last few days I have taken the various components out and checked the Most Circuit starting with the Integrated Head Unit, the Touch screen display, the CD Changer and then the various components in the boot
All checks appeared to show the problem was with the CD Changer as the red light went into the CD changer but did not appear in the boot area. As the plug into the back of the CD Changer incorporates the power lead my fibre optic bypass loop would not fit. I therefore took the fibre optic cables out and connected them together with a piece of tube.
This showed that the red light now appeared in the boot area so I could discount a broken fibre optic cable.
I re-connected the fibre optic cables and plugged it back into the CD changer and once again there was no red light going into the boot.
The CD changer had been changed in the past as the car is a 2006 and the CD changer had a manufacturing date of 2015 on it, and it did power up when the power plug was plugged in so I did not think it was the CD unit that was the problem
After researching online and finding no answers i thought I would try removing the fibre optic cables from the CD Changer plug and swapping them over.
I fitted the power/fibre optic plug in the back of the CD changer after swapping the fibre optic leads over, turned the ignition on and hey presto, the radio came on !!! RESULT!!
Everything now works, radio, CD Sat Nav, Reversing Camera and Venture cam
