LR-Retrofit supplies and installs the genuine Wade Sensing system for compatible Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles. You gain real-time water depth information directly on your touchscreen before and during water crossings. Our team fits the original factory sensors, activates the software, and calibrates the system to JLR specifications.
What Is Wade Sensing?
Wade Sensing measures the water depth around your vehicle using ultrasonic sensors mounted in the door mirrors. The system displays the current depth and the maximum wading depth for your specific model. You see the information clearly on the infotainment screen, so you can judge whether a water crossing is safe.
This feature appears on many Land Rover models equipped for off-road use. Our retrofit brings the same factory functionality to vehicles that did not leave the production line with it.
How the Retrofit Works
We begin with a full vehicle diagnostic scan. This confirms your current mirror hardware, wiring, and software configuration. If your vehicle supports the upgrade, we proceed with the genuine installation.
Our technicians replace the standard mirror caps with the correct Wade Sensing units. These units contain the factory ultrasonic sensors. We then connect the sensors to the existing vehicle network and update the relevant control modules. The final step includes a system calibration and a functional test to confirm accurate depth readings.

Benefits of Wade Sensing
You gain clear, accurate water depth readings before you enter the water. The system removes the guesswork from wading and helps you avoid water ingress or engine damage. You see the maximum wading depth for your vehicle and the live reading side by side.
The integration stays entirely original. You keep the factory mirror design and all existing functions. No aftermarket sensors or visible wiring.
Wade Sensing also helps you maintain smooth progress through water. You can monitor the depth as you cross, so you adjust your speed or route if the level rises. This improves safety in flooded areas, river crossings, and deep ruts.
