That is truly amazing given the intricacy of JLR electronics and devices. I would go as far to say that is a world wide achievement....I haven't seen any one else, on any forums even tying to attempt this.
Kudos to you sir !
Now, tell me please, can you replace a gas engine with a diesel one ? because if you do , you may have here a first customer

Lol. Thank you. Call Freddy. If anyone can do a diesel swap its Freddy! Very expensive. Then call LR Retrofits for programming!

So if I’m reading/seeing this right, this retrofit is just a parts swap and control unit re-program? No crazy wiring harness cut and paste?

I understand it’s still quite the job but it doesn’t seem to be a total re-engineer of the vehicle

Well there is crazy wiring because you have to run wires to the rear fuse box and the front canbus bcm in the front passenger footwell. Freddy my mechanic is an auto electrical engineer....

But all the wiring is in a factory harness with factory connectors? You don’t need to cut/splice and add anything of your own?

Just removing some interior trim and replacing parts isn’t that big of a deal. I’d only have reservations about trying to re-engineer the car to integrate some aftermarket stuff
