listen suew,it is really easy to do,just look at the wiring on the radio then see if the wiring on the landy matches up.
At least it cant be as complicated as the diagram nrgserv made me learn for the spotlights. Relays, wires from the full beam, wires from the switches, wires to the battery, wires to the lights

well if you can do that you can wire in a radio,just make sure you connect the correct wires together.

Well I have successfully taken it in bits
OK with the red wire, I think thats the live.
The black wire coming out somewhere totally different I can only assume is the earth
What is really confusing is why the brown wire coming out of the radio is then joined to two black wires. I am thinking they are speaker wires but why join two to the brown.
The result of this is that whoever wired it obviously didn't do it properly. My daughter has one she took out of her car somewhere, if the wires are the same colour as the ones on mine then I might get one and try to fit it.
Also the old one has never worked properly. Dont know if its the radio itself or the wiring. How do I test the wires
I think this is a bit beyond me, but at least I did try. Shame about the mess and loose wires in the Landy now

How old is your Land Rover?
Its 1991 but the radio has been added after

Definately given up now. Had a look at the radio which came out of my daughters car and it doesn't have wires, just somewhere for a plug to go.
Might have known it wouldn't be easy
the newer radio's have a din socket fitted to them,that means it can have the corresponding socket fitted either on to the wiring or in the radio cage built into the car.
I had a look at the plugs, they have loads of wires, far more than my Landy has. Wouldn't know which to connect

thats the trouble with newer radio's,they need more live feeds etc to make them work.either get a sparks to wire it in,or at least someone who knows what they are doing.or buy a cheap radio that only has basic wiring.loads on ebay etc.
No, not lucky, the plugs I looked at were on the internet, not in my Landy
It has a red wire with some 3 different plastic bits (fuses or something) in the wire
One brown wire that joins to two black wires which go off somewhere.
I think the other might have been green but forgotten whether that joined to a green
Then the random black on which came out somewhere else and the aerial ( recognised that
)So basically I know what 2 of the wires do, not a good basis for continuing with this job
Yep, wonder if nrgserve will be on later
Its embarrasing, I expected it to be an easy job.Sent him a PM, no doubt he will think this is funny
