Hi Marco,

No I currently don’t have access to changing the ccf, I will search online to see if anyone in London does coding, but for now I’ll use it as a normal mirror. Thanks for the information.

Hi All,

Thank you Marco, you was correct just a simple coding and all done!

I have a smart interior mirror if any one is interested as I bought the wrong one at first.

Here’s a picture of it if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

Hi, I’m picking up my 110 dynamic x se next week and one thing I will really miss from my 2019 hse evoque is the clear view rear view mirror. I’ve been reading for days on the retrofit and all seems ok ish, but how easy is it to get the old rear view mirror off? Might not have understood how it comes down so any advice would be great.

I’ve found the rear view mirror on eBay using the part numbers in this thread so thank you. Just need an antenna and cable which I will get as I find them.

Thanks for the reply. That looks easy enough as long as don’t break the plastic cover in step 1!

I’ve checked on eBay and you can get fakra female to female cables, is there a reason to get the male to female and then the repair cable to get it to female ended?

Hi, the Fakra connection cable must be female to female, be careful that the connectors must be of the universal type, therefore they accept male connectors of all colors.
it should be this, if I remember correctly....

Brilliant thanks. With that cable then, there should be no need for the genuine lr repair cable?

this is a non-original cable, however it is fine, the quality is not Land Rover…., with the repair cable you have the most quality length, I think other users have used this type of cable without any problems.

Thanks again. I’ll get the cable ordered. Just got an Ariel off eBay and brand new rear view mirror. Total cost £360.

Hi again. So I’ve now got all the bits I need and I’m picking up my defender tomorrow. Thinking about tackling this at the weekend. Are there any tips on getting the cable at the alpine window to the next light hole. Can’t quite make out how to get it behind the window?

Will it make sense once infront of me
