Use the Aerpro kit.
Add a Kenwood or Alpine head unit
I'm looking to change the head unit on my 2007 RRS. It is a Logic 7 system and I will be using the JCKFK-853-6 - Stereo Installation kit from Just Car Kits. The kit has an option for the JCK23-244 – Range Rover Fibre Optic Audio Interface to be able to use the Fibre Optic amplifier, but these are out of stock. For anyone who has replaced their head unit which one did you replace it with and is the amplifier necessary other than to drive the sub woofer?
I am also looking to have a reversing camera linked into the head unit

What is your reason for changing the head out?
If you already have the Nav and Logic-7, you could do what I did and add a GVIF and Carplay box.
That retains the full factory function, plus gives me Carplay, reversing camera, input for a Van camera, interfaces with the buttons on the wheel (I added the phone buttons).
It all works on the factory touch screen.

BradC, I do already have a fully functional Nav and Logic 7, however being an older unit it does not support bluetooth or have a USB input (I know it is a 1st world problem). I would like to have bluetooth interface for phone and music as well as adding a reversing camera to the car as well as the caravan. Updated maps ie Google Maps would be a huge bonus.
Pardon my ignorance but what is a GVIF?
Any chance of a picture of your setup?
TIA

Can't really do a pic as such as there's nothing visible other than a lightning cable that I use to plug the phone in to avoid a wireless dead spot on the narrows bridge. It *just works*.
USB input for Android Auto / Carplay / USB stick with media on it.
Wireless Carplay and/or standard phone Bluetooth hands free. Multiple phones.
Reversing camera.
Van camera.
Steering wheel controls.
I use Apple maps with my phone. Wife uses Google maps with hers. I can switch between Van Camera, LR stock NAV and Carplay with a hidden switch. I also put the Van camera on the RSE displays so the kids can see what is coming up while we're traveling.
With the exception of the button to switch the displays hidden under the HVAC unit, it looks and works like a factory install.

I'm in Dianella if you'd like to come down I'd be happy to show you how it all works and is installed.
Oh, the GVIF is a box that takes inputs from things like cameras, and a HDMI from the Carplay box and puts it on the standard NAV display. GVIF is the interface between the factory Nav (under the seat) and the display (Gigabit Video InterFace).
Or you can rip out and replace. You lose factory Nav, 4x4 display, RSE (including TV/DVD if you had it) and clock on the dash.
