Guys, can anyone tell me what the smaller plug on the right is used for? It was taped up with the stereo plug behind the dash. See picture.

Do you have an aftermarket stereo?

I don’t know, cos that looks an awfully posh interior so must be a fairly new 1.

When I changed the standard fitment land rover head unit for an aftermarket one, there were two plugs into the standard unit, one with 8 wires for the speakers and one with 4 wires for the power. (the plugs are similar to yours but not identical). I needed an adaptor harness to take these two plugs at one end, the other end being a single plug into the aftermarket head unit.

I bought the landrover new in 2018 with no stereo. These are the original plugs that were taped up behind the blanking plate for the stereo opening.

What model of land rover is it and what stereo was fitted as standard to similar models? Can you list the wire colours for each plug? At a wild guess I'd say the large plug is for the stereo and the small plug for prat nav. Are there any speakers fitted? Do the wires from the plugs disappear into the main harness or into other plugs?
