Freelander 1 (Facelift? 2005) Stereo Wiring Help Required


jtanner

Recommended Posts

I have just purchased a Freelander 1 (I think Facelift) 2005 Sport Prem.

It includes the Harman Kardon sub in the boot, the amp under passenger seat and extra speakers etc.

The problem I have, is some idiot previously removed the "standard" stereo from this model, and replaced it with a Landrover Visteon Single CD Unit and absolutely butchered the loom!!

The stereo connector is the Harman Kardon connection: YMQ500220

I've attached pictures of the mess, but I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with a photo of their connector end, or even better provide a wiring diagram / wiring color codes for me so I can attempt to fix this mess. I'm wanting to put in a Nexus 7 Tablet install which I did previously in my BMW (I always spend the money on a connect2 / auto-lead and butcher that - NEVER EVER touch the original looms) and I've also bought an aftermarket Radio with AUX in, but they've cut the wires and made their own ISO lead as such but only half the speakers work so I'm guessing they've wired it wrong anyways.

The Visteon looks like the standard ISO connector with an extra 10pin clip at the top.

Anyways, any help or photos would be much appreciated. I'm trying to work out the correct pairing for the speakers / sub etc.

I have obviously susses the power, amp, ignition etc but need help with speakers to make life easier.

Here's the mess they left behind the stereo...

well as you already have the original plug there with tails still on it i'd get the heatshrink out and the soldering iron and start by reconnecting what you can back where it should be. then worry about it if you have any wires left over. if you dont... happy days!

The problem is I don't have the original stereo, and am fitting a tablet / aftermarket install so I need to know what wire is what so that I can correctly wire it up.

I've fathomed out most but there's still a few attached to the original connector and I've no idea what they are.

Does any one know how the harman kardon speakers are wired? Is it just the 4 speaker connections that run down to the amp and the sub is driven directly from the amp? How are the tweeters (the little speakers) driven? Are they parallel to the mid/main speaker in each door?? Eg the little tweeter and the main should work at same time?

The Harman/Kardon rear speakers & sub woofer are driven of the amp under neath the passenger seat. The amp is driven off the rear outputs drom the HU.

The Harman/Kardon uses standard DIN type connectors. There are 3 connectors:

1 For power / Gal /steering wheel controls

2. Speaker connections to front & rear

3. For connection to the multi changer, also has pre-amp, aux input, telphone input. On the Freelander, only the changer control is connected.
