Range rover GVIF unit for reverse camera help needed!

So I've managed to hook up everything apart from the last bit which I thought was meant to be the easiest. The last bit I came onto was connecting my unit to the box underneath the passenger seat. The cables just do not fit ????

Here are some pictures, can somebody tell me if these cables are right?

Now what i've read and seen is you need one of these cables ( land rover interface cable )



But if you look onto my unit these are already there?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Yours looks different to the HIDS4U GVIF units. Where did you get it from? Is it a general GVIF or specific for the RRS?

Normally one plugs into the blue connector cable you've taken out of the Nav DVD unit and the other plugs into the DVD unit where the cable used to be plugged in. (from memory as I havent got a unit in front of me). Bodsys Brake Bible

I got it from a gvif supplier straight from china. They said its plug and play with the range rover and that i dont even need the interface cable. But the shape on the two cables are a bit diffrent. Do you think I connect the interface cable in the "touch" of the interface. Its a 8 pin connecter in the interface and 8pin in the cable so it should fit?

they normally only have one connector matching one cable connection to make sure you dont connect the wrong one, so if it fits, then plug it in.... with caution as I dont know that unit specifically. Bodsys Brake Bible

So if i get the land rover connecter cable, One will go into the blue wire i pull out the car unit and one will go straight into the unit. I'll order that now. It sucks that the 2 wires I have prebuilt into my gvif unit for the range rover just dont fit. But i'll give the interface cable a try thanks

the one in the 4th image looks as though it should fit......
if you look at the last image youve posted ofthe other cable connector, the connections look the same as the ones you already have.

Looking on AliBaba, there are loads of the same 'box' that are setup for different vehicles. If it is sold as the RRS one, then it should work, but thats a risk with direct chinese imports Bodsys Brake Bible

Hi karan538 I have a GVIF from China Witch said for Land Rover And Lexus. And it works . If you move passenger seat as far forewards as possible. Pull Cable out of Blue connection.You will see which cable matches to plug into it. Then plug the other one into where you toohk that one from itisme

looking at the pictures, do you think my connectors will fit into the range rover. The connectors I have are a bit wider then my car unit.
