JLR OEM Retrofit Upgrades
What Are OEM JLR Retrofits?
JLR OEM retrofits refer to factory-level upgrades involving:
- Hardware modules (cameras, ECUs, controls)
- Genuine wiring looms
- Feature activation via Pathfinder or SDD
- VIN-specific coding of the CCF file
These are not aftermarket bolt-ons — they are exactly what your model could’ve left the factory with, reintroduced the right way using:
- Jaguar Land Rover Pathfinder (2017+)
- SDD (for pre-2017 vehicles)
- TOPIx Cloud (feature detection and coding)
- Remote coding via encrypted sessions
Plugins from clone apps or generic tools can damage your vehicle’s modules, desync ECUs, or break security protocols. At LR Retrofit, we use tools authorized for engineering- and service-mode operations to execute changes safely and permanently.
Why Choose LR Retrofit?

Testimonials
What our clients say about us.
I had a reverse camera installed at LR Retrofit with full dealer-caliber coding. The image clarity and parking sensors are better than I imagined. Quick turnaround and clean install.
My car had factory matrix LED lights but no ambient options. Their team added 16-color lighting and coded my cluster to show themes. Brilliant!
In Dubai, I upgraded from analogue to TFT. LR Retrofit walked me through import, wiring changes, and remote flash. Superb JLR knowledge!
