It may be more difficult than you think.
With the Gap tool you will be able to change the CCF settings to turn on cameras in the front.
However the wiring harnesses are different.
Example: When I got my LR4 it was from a salvage auction, small front end wreck. Engine fine but bumper was gone. My LR4 came with front cameras. I purchased a replacement used bumper with no cameras. (bought this version since it was much less expensive and I did not care about loosing front cameras). The new bumper arrived but its wiring harness did not connect to the car's wiring harness. I had to get a wiring harness from a bumper with cameras to use with my used replacement bumper but no cameras are installed.
You may find a wiring harness with the cameras but this wiring harness may not plug into the LR4 since it did not have cameras from the factory. Sometimes Land Rover uses the same wiring harness throughout the car regardless or options but this may be a time due to cost it was cheaper for them to use a different harness if no cameras would be installed.

Thank you guys.
i ended up replacing the head unit altogether and installing a 360 camera system for the LR4. It connects with the new system.
i found that the original cameras are about $200 a piece plus $350 for the module. Then i had to hunt down the wire harness and connectors and find somebody that will get it all programmed. It was more work than wat is worth.
