Default Factory Front Amp Location

Attempted to install a new head unit tonight into the Disco, and ran into some problems. I believe I will have to bypass the factory amp to get sound though the speakers, which wouldn't be an issue, if I could find the darn thing! From what I have found online it will be a small black box behind the glovebox/passenger footwell with two connectors and an exterior fuse, but I can't see anything that fully fits the description. Can someone who has done this before help me out? I think it may be this one, but before I cut wires and disconnect things I want to be sure...

Thanks for any input.

Take a look at this thread you will be able to use your existing amp as long as its not bad. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...install-76839/


but the amp is behind the trim piece on the right side of the glove box.

So it turns out the I was literally sitting on the answer the whole time... my amp was under the passenger seat. Maybe models without power seats had them located here? Anyways, that thread is perfect, but I am unable to open the attachment for the wiring diagram because I don't have permission... so the search continues. Thanks for the help though Aemnky606!

The arrow in your picture is pointing to the power window ECU.

Ah ok, my one was the opposite, CD changer under driver. Regardless, she's all wired up now and sounding much better than before.
