Internal Rear Folding Board with Electric Drive – JLR Retrofit
OEM-grade internal rear folding board with electric drive for Land Rover. Adds a power-deployable loadspace partition with remote and touchscreen control.
Product Overview
LR Retrofit brings you the internal rear folding board with electric drive for Land Rover vehicles. This retrofit transforms the manual loadspace partition into a fully automated system. You control the board from the driver’s seat, the rear cabin, or the factory remote key fob. The system deploys and retracts the folding board smoothly and quietly, using OEM-grade actuators.
This upgrade suits drivers who frequently configure the loadspace for luggage, pets, or additional seating. The board creates a secure divider between the passenger compartment and the load area. You gain both practicality and a factory-fitted feel without any permanent modifications to the vehicle structure.
Key Features
- Electric folding board with smooth deploy and retract motion
- Control from factory touchscreen and centre console switch
- Remote key fob operation for pre-loading convenience
- Obstacle detection with automatic stop and reversal
- Memory position for frequently used board angles
- OEM-grade actuators with quiet operation
- Plug-and-play integration with JLR body control module
- No cutting or permanent wiring modifications
The system uses the existing CAN bus for control signals. You receive the exact JLR switch pack and wiring loom for your model. The board operates within a defined speed envelope, locking out above parking speeds for safety.
Performance Benefits
The electric drive gives you full control of the loadspace partition without manual effort. You configure the rear area from the driver’s seat. The board locks securely in both deployed and stowed positions. Obstacle detection protects passengers and cargo. You notice a significant reduction in boot reconfiguration time, especially during daily use.

Vehicles must have the factory loadspace partition or the mounting provisions. LR Retrofit confirms exact compatibility from your VIN before dispatch. Models with optional third-row seating require additional bracket verification.
Installation and Coding Support
We recommend professional installation. LR Retrofit supplies the complete hardware kit with all brackets, actuators, wiring looms, and control switches. Our technical team provides remote coding support through JLR diagnostic tools. The body control module receives the correct Car Configuration File entry for the electric loadspace board. This activates the touchscreen control menu and key fob operation.
The installation process mirrors the factory assembly method. You replace the manual folding board with the motorised assembly. The actuator mounts behind the side trim panels. The wiring loom routes along the original vehicle harness paths. All connectors use factory pin-outs.
Technical Note
The electric folding board system communicates over the vehicle CAN bus. The control module reads vehicle speed, ignition state, and loadspace status. You can configure automatic board deployment when the tailgate opens. The anti-pinch function monitors actuator current draw and reverses immediately on obstruction. LR Retrofit supplies the exact control module parameters for your JLR model.
