Landrover DIscovery 3 no sound from headunit stereo Range Rover Sport LR3. FIXED.

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

When I purchased the Discovery 3 the headunit didnt play any sound, I was told it was intermittant, however I just never got it to work at all. After some investigation I found the problem and fixed it.
I show you some tests I did along the way to help troubleshooting and finally show how I resolved the issue.
If this video has helped you please consider buying me a coffee; www.buymeacoffee.com/trollman69b
The headunit has been working perfectly for over a month now.
This will be the same procedure for the Range Rover sport (2005 -2010) and LR3's.

    You can check if there is a red light from the amp on the MOST cable on power up, But i suspect it's the AMP if everything else works. Good luck

    No it was purely no aound from the head unit. do have a fault with the headunit/sat nav powering off now with message "system fault shutting down" but this is a new fault and unrelated, and I think this is the head unit as they are known for bad solder joints !!

    Hi Mark, There is a known problem with the instument cluster (dash) on D3 and RRS, as this is part of the CANBus it throws a load of errors up. Have a google as they may be your issue ? cheers Mark

    Mine does this at random. Sometimes it’ll stay on for months at a time and others. It will turn off and then turn back on 10 minutes later. I’m thinking it has something to do with the fiber optic cable itself. like either it is loose or there is a break in it somewhere, when it goes back together, it works and when it pulls apart, it doesn’t? Or maybe something to do with the power supply going to it? I say that because, every time the volume knob starts working again, it resets the bass and treble settings in the menu. Its odd. I guess I should probably check the fuses. Also to make sure that there isn’t something going on there. Which could be the cause. I will let you know, but any help you think you can give this… Would be good help. Thank you. I’m going to look at it tonight. Where is the fiber optic cable located on the amp? Front of it, meaning in front of the front seat or behind it?

    Hi, the problem with the head units seems to be bad soldering joints (dry joints), and hence they fail randomly like mine did (see my other video). My amp failed as I had no sound but it was like it when I bought the truck, I think it worked for about 10 mins. You can check the fibre with a loopout fibe cable, and also you should be able to see the red light from the cable when you turn it on (it may stop if there is a fault seconds later though). If you put the seat forward you can see the amp under the drivers seat (UK), and you can get to the connections from the rer seat area. GL

    @@trollmanrs thank you. I will play with it and see what happens. This has been going on for years with me. It will work for six months at a time and be fine. Then, volume control won’t work, then it will for a while and then not. but it seems every time it comes back on, the bass and treble settings reset. But the balance and fader settings remain the same. It’s a weird problem and again, it makes me think that it is some sort of power issue or an issue with the fiber so I will have to look at it today and see what I can find. It may just be a loose cable. Because sometimes it seems when I turn a sharp corner, sometimes it comes on. It could just be coincidence, but I’ve had a half of more than once. So who knows? It doesn’t make sense that it will work for an extended period of time and then not intermittently and then work again for another six months. by the way, how much was the amp when you bought one? Can you get any amp or do you need an OEM replacement? are there third-party replacements? Thank you in advance for the help.
