Thread: Eurovox 5880R User manual

I'm also looking for a manual - I need to replace the dial back lights and would like to know what I'm in for...

OK could not find a manual but worked it out, It seems the instructions supplied in most user manuals are incorrect. I will see if I can post this in the Good Oil section as well.

Basic Instructions For Eurovox 5580 as fitted to Land Rover Discovery II Models
There are is a lot of confusion over some of the stereo's fitted to 1999-2004 Land Rover Discovery II's. There may be more than 1 model fitted, These basic instructions are for what I believe is the 5880 model as fitted to Australian models. The models listed in the Land Rover JRL website do not cover this for some reason. If you have the following models R660, C-42 or R990 go to the Land Rover JRL Topix website for user manuals. Most people are publishing the R990 specs as this seems to be the instructions in user manuals and may be incorrect.

Code Reset
When resetting you will get 3 attempts to enter the code and then it will lock you out for 1hr. This can be reset by disconnecting the battery.
1. Turn on unit
2. Code 1 will appear
3. Using keypad punch in 4 digit code straight away eg 1,2,3,4 (Do not try and hit any preset buttons etc as in other instructions)
4. Radio should now work and be able to be tuned.
5. If you get it wrong next attempt will be Code 2 and then Code 3. If you still get it wrong it will lock out for 1hr or until battery disconnected and re-connected.
6. For testing a head unit to see if it works without the code follow above procedure and type in 1111 and this will enable operation of the unit for 3 minutes. This applies to most Eurovox Units and is a test function only.
CD Changer
There are various CD Changer units, the most common being a 10 stack unit.
Load CDs
Press CD button and CD will load.
To change CDs press and hold the  up or  down

I had a hard copy in my D2 Craig but the guy who bought it went away for 2 weeks yesterday. Would you like me to get an electronic copy of it when he gets back?

Dale,
That would be great and we can put in the good oil section. All the ones people seem to have are for the R990 but most fitted seem to be the 5880, dont know if Eurovox ran out or something. Even the LR web seems to not list this model.
Cheers
Craig

Why not ask Eurovox in Melbourne.
These were Australian fitment.
That is why they don't appear in UK docs.

Philip,
Already have, no reply so far but indicated they charge for it?? Eurovox website is next to useless with no info at all. JLR ? The Australian LR website have the incorrect manual listed.
Was mainly for the code, so we can use for now, will be getting a new head unit for it in the next week or 2.
Cheers
Craig

Craig, I have a copy of the booklet "Discovery Incar entertainment"
which includes the 5880R. It is 15 pages on the 5880R so a bit much to scan.

I can mail it to you for you to photocopy and return if you like.
