EAS Unit Installation 

The installation procedure of the EAS unit is listed for the Discovery 3/4 vehicle. For the 
Range Rover Sport, the original EAS control unit is located about 10cm lower than in the 
Discovery. For convenient access to the connectors, it is necessary to remove the footwell 
and the adjacent left panel (the one with the front bonnet open handle).  

Estimated installation time: 

 

The EAS unit installation should take approximately 10 - 30 minutes. 

Tools required:  

 

Common cross-head screwdriver (e.g. original from Land Rover equipment). 

 

Flashlight - Installation area lighting 

 

EAS unit installation procedure:  

1.

 

Disconnect the vehicle battery according to the vehicle user manual 

a.

 

Make sure the ignition is off. 

b.

 

Disconnect the + pole. 

c.

 

Wait 1 minute. 

Note: This point is not required, installing without disconnecting the battery does not 

cause problems. 

2.

 

Dismantle the lover dashboard cover panel under the steering wheel.  

 

If installing to the Range Rover Sport L320, see the note above. 

a.

 

Unscrew the two screws holding the cover. 

b.

 

Pull in the direction of the RIGHT green arrow (see picture below) to release a 
mechanical connector connecting the cover to the central tunnel. 

c.

 

Hold the cover panel in the centre. Pull down and towards you slightly to move 
the cover panel down for approximately 10 centimetres. 

d.

 

Disconnect the light connector located on the left side (right for RHD vehicles) of 
the cover. 

e.

 

Remove the entire cover.
