Default Adding Nav Screen to my LR2

Hello
My LR2 which I just bought didn't came with a Nav Screen but decided to install one. Upon installation I didn't find any wiring looms for it. Did LR provided the the wirings for those who needs to upgrade? Is it hidden womewhere? On plain view the only wiring loom I saw was the push button for the lock/unlock and emergency light
Thanks

It is doable. (there are instructions by some at freel2.com). But, is it worth the effort?
Yes, you will need to source a wiring harness. As well as a number of optional peripherals.
If its only a Nav screen you want… a tablet or phone with an app like Waze or some map application will guarantee up to date maps… in intelligent directions.

Thanks, I looked around that area and no loom connections for the Nav Screen. I cannot believe LR didn't include the connections for those who want to add Nav Screen. Could it be cutting costs perhaps?
For now, I'm going to install the Nav Screen even though it's non-functional. It just looked there's a hole in there eventhough there's a plastic tray on it.

No nav doesn't just mean no nav screen, it means no DVD/Windows-CE based computer under the front pax seat, and most definitely no harness. If there's no hardware it makes no sense to install a useless harness.

You're better off mounting an iPad or Android tablet, with a SIM card for data. Or getting data from your phone in hotspot mode.

Include a harness that was not required for that version of the vehicle??
The equal, alternative point of view… Why would someone not purchase the level of trim they prefer, in the first place?


Just keeping it fair.
Cheers!
