Run windows 7 on mine - mostly had to get used to if for work, as everything went that way. New laptop came with 8 on it, and that lasted about half an hour before it got dumped and rolled back to 7... Still have an XP laptop that I use for some diagnostics work though as it plays nicer..
That aside... audio wiring.
Subwoofer... wires at the head unit are Orange & Orange/Black. It's a line out level signal from the factory head unit to an amplifier in the subwoofer. If you have the premium/DSP system then the signal goes into the DSP amp first as it controls the level ultimately sent to the subwoofer amplifier. The subwoofer amplifier will power up with the other amps/DSP amp when 12V is on the Grey/Black wire (connected to the remote on wire on the head unit).
Steering wheel controls... Not a straight plug and play on most head units. You need an adapter unit that reads the voltage drop on the wire when one of the buttons is pressed (it's a resistor ladder type system) and then covnert that to the protocol for your aftermarket head unit. In my RR when I had my JVC head unit installed, I ended up buying a PAC SWI-RC unit from the USA as it was programmable, and the supposedly 'plug and play' unit from Nexxia/Autoleads didn't work, and they wouldn't give me any support on trying to make it work.
If you post a picture up of the back of your head unit, I can tell you what system you have and what each of the wires does. If it's the premium system, then I have a spreadsheet of all the wiring which I wrote when I first bought my RR and was working on the stereo system.

Ok have tried it and it does seem the link is duff. Even on XP. So that is not a goer. Pity as it was a good download. Sorry about that.
AMR6284 alpine stereo. Its getting a bit compliqué!
No worry's wammers I've got another link ill try on my laptop. Will let you all know if it works...
If need be I will zip up my version from my Win X laptop.
in Windows 10 you have two options:
I have all three ISO's, and the decrypted version which can be shared over dropbox if required.
Also have the Rave-One CD extracted as a 5199 page PDF courtesy of a guy on RR.net !!
- Download the Zip & run Rave from the folder
- Grab the three ISO versions, and then double click the version you need. Then simply runs the EXE inside the main folder.

Mark, this might be a bit primitive but...
I could send you RAVE on a CD if you're really stuck
PM me if you want

Wow, thankyou, I have found.

I'm in the process of downloading the file I hope.. So, tomorrow, as it is taking an age to do. I will know better.
It astounds me that you have all gone out of your way/a to help me over something maybe trivial in most eyes. I will keep you all in the loop as to whether or not I'll call upon the generosity given my way.
Effing brilliant. Cant thank you all enough..

Nothing trivial about the need for good sounds in the motor!
Right then, it worked. The site is
myrangerover.co.uk. There are a couple of manuals available. Thanks again.

When i put that into my search i get cannot be found. Strange things are going on.

try this, there are three programs available.
if it doesn't work just type myrangerover.co.uk

Yep that found it. .
Have you seen the other programs as well? Nice find. Especially if we have multiple buses or work on other peoples. Once again thanks for all your help.
