Hello – My first post on here so please go easy on me

I have a 99 P38 Range Rover 2.5DSE that has served me well during my first 12 months of ownership, from what I can see from looking on the internet my Range Rover is one of the lower spec models so I started looking into a few small upgrades to treat it for passing its MOT without any advisories. I purchased a 96 Autobiography model as a donor car (MOT Failure + Air Fault) and have successfully swapped over the following parts:

Wheels
Sidesteps
Bull Bars / Spot Lights
Headlight protection things
Electric Seats
Tinted Glass
Wood Trim
A few small electrical upgrades such as interior lights etc

Before I send the Autobiography off to the scrap yard I was looking at swapping over the Harman Kardon Sound System + Sub + Auto-changer – The problem is the wiring seems totally different in all the doors and at the back of the headunit – So I suppose what I am asking is can it be swapped over and if so is it easier to also take the older headunit from the 96 car? Does all the door wiring need swapping? I have looked around for a wiring adaptor kit but can’t find anything obvious.

Any help appreciated.

If you don't fit it, send me one of the speakers out of the sub woofer bassbox unit please

He might do as I think its not a good idea to try fitting a sound system from a much older car.

Shame its not a 2000+ Autobiography I would like to get hold of the HK amp fitted to those years. Anyone want to part with one?

Would have been easier to fit the engine into the Autobiography!

+1 and the Harmon Kardon is just a fancy name for something that's not very special. Fit a good aftermarket head unit, you can even get one with a flip out SatNav screen if that sort of thing floats your boat.

The top of the range HK system in mine is superb. But to be fair i am not a sound system expert.
