I described step by step (with photos) how to install a backup camera in the Range Rover Sport licenseplatelight.
To make the camera visible on the NAVI screen you'll need the GVIF (interface) which will transport the signal to the screen.
Here is what I bought:

plus extra cable for Land Rovers:

First a correction on my previous thread, there i hooked up the camera directly to the 12 volt in the back of the car, I disconnected this connection and hooked it up to the RIGHT rear backup licht, the cable (green/brown) is easy to find;

I cut the wire, stripped it and hooked the +12 volt camera-wire to it, now the camera gets 12 volt when the car is in reverse.

A picture of my plan (thanks to flydive and grasshopper);

Because i want to have the possibility to watch the backup camera when i want, so even when the car is not in reverse, i have to make some changes in the + 12 volt line from the reverse light to the camera. I put a diode 1N4004 between this connection, otherwise the backuplight is on when I watch the camera when i'm not in reverse.

The wire goes directly to the +12V of the camera and also directly to the grey wire of the GVIF.
- How does that work?
When the car is in reverse the camera and grey wire got 12V from the backuplight. The camera goes on and the GVIF has a signal and switches automatically to the camera input.
Then you put a manual-switch (on/off) between a 12V (sigaretlighterplug?) and the grey wire.
- How does this work?
When the car is not in reverse and you want to see the backup camera, you toggle the manual-switch. Now there is a signal on the grey wire and the camera also gets 12V. The diode will prevent to let the backuplight to go on. The GVIF will show the backup camera on the screen.
Now the GVIF installation, it's the last version there is in august 2014 = version 7.2.
The following cables are also in the box, but you DON'T need these, so put them aside!

Now the following next baby steps;
Driverseat in front and up position.
Under the driverseat you'll see the navigation.
3 wires are connected to the navigation.
Get the middle one out (use a flat screwdriver to release the clamp)
The new wire that I had to order extra with the GVIF has 3 ends.
One goes in the middle of the NAVI (cable = LRIN)
The second (LROUT) you'll connect to the cable you removed out of the navi.
The third, the white connector, goes into the GVIF (LRIN/OUT)
Here you see the navigation under my front seat;

Then the switches on the GVIF:
![6.JPG]()
UP = OFF position
DOWN = ON position
1 skip RGB connection (part of powercable)
2 use AV1 connection (i've a dvd player connected)
3 skip AV2 connection (you could connect a TV receiver or something)
4 skip AV3 connection (also you could connect a phnone output connection)
5 to select LR
6 to select LR
7 use a aftermarket backup camera
8 doesn't matter
I've put some tape under the GVIF so i can stick it directly on top of the NAVI, mind that you will not cover the holes, they are for airflow/cooling.
![8.JPG]()
I put the GVIF on the NAVI and connected the two white connectors (left = power, right = AVI);
![9.JPG]()
Here a picture when the front seat is in the lowest and back position, tight, but perfect i would say;
![10.JPG]()
Thats nice, but not finished yet! So front seat back to forward and up position. I've connected 4 wires to the AVI connector, 3 for the dvd player (yellow/red/white) and 1 yellow for the backupcamera on the rear-connection;
