A Guide to Retro-fitting the OEM Factory 
Supplied Rear Screen Entertainment 
System to a Discovery 3 HSE  
Since 2008 model year Land Rover finally made the RSE system available to order  for the Discovery 
3,  but only as a factory  supplied opt ion and at a cost of £2250. Strange really as t his touch screen 
controlled rear entertainment system has been available since 2005 on both Range Rover and Sport 
models. Although Land Rover claims  this cannot be retrofitted - i t can!

The Headrests: 
 
Removing the existing headrests is straight forward but requires the 
removal of  the grab handles  first. Prise off the cover to expose the single 
torx screw and once removed the grab handle can be pulled off horizontally. 
The top bolt that goes into the headrest itself is not fixed and comes away 
with the handle. When both handles have been removed the headrest can 
be raised by pressing the locking tab  in the left hand headrest sleeve, the 
tabs are located under...

The DVD Changer & RSE Module 
 
Both the DVD Changer & RSE modules  fit behind the rear RH 
quarter panel and are  easily secured into place when using the 
correct brackets which can be ordered  for less than £30 through 
any Land Rover  Part s Department.  
 
I mounted the DVD bracket  just to take the photo but it’s a lot 
easier to secure the changer, with eight  small screws , to  the 
bracket BEFORE fitting it!  The  bracket is held in place by four 
machine threaded bolts and in my...

Getting the AVIO cable up to the panel is more of  a challenge as 
you  really  need the additional short  blue  Alpine  extension cable and 
requires  the removal of the centre console trim around the gear 
shift and cubby box  in order that this  cable can be routed  to an area 
near the EPB...

After closely studying the wiring diagrams it became clear that the RSE Module  & DVD Changer 
should take their  power from the ICE navigation loom connector C2247/C2249 located in the front 
right footwell. This is a 16 pin  black/red connector, C2249 (the 
lower section)  is part of the navigation loom and  contains male 
pins that join into the female plug socket C2247  from where the 
wires then go on up and back to the fuse box area.  
 
I used the correct colour coded wires –  Brown...

Recoding the CCF (Car Configuration File) 
 
In order to activate the DVD & RSE menus on the touch 
screen it is necessary to change the CCF. Even if they 
knew how to I don’t think your friendly dealer will do this 
for you! It requires someone with a Faultmate or similar 
piece of kit or in my case a “WIGGS”    
 
Plugging in his box of tricks to read the CCF it is then 
necessary to switch on the options to tell the car it now 
has the R SE, DVD and AVIO  fitted. The picture to the...
