Range Rover Sport L494 2013-2020 13.3-Inch 2K Screen: GMV/GXE3217 Trade Guide

Range Rover Sport L494 2013-2020: One Dash, Three Factory Generations

One part number does not cover this car. Across the L494 run from 2013 to 2020, Land Rover fitted three generations of head unit and two factory screen sizes. The unit in the dash decides the harness, sometimes the power cable, and occasionally whether the panel is even the right size.

The launcher: navigation, JLR mode and music, with a fixed column for 360 and settings.

• The screen fails before the car does. A 2014 L494 is twelve years old; the touch layer and the backlight go first, and a unit from a breaker is exactly as old as the one coming out.
• One cable is not in the box. Harman Kardon cars with a 10.25 inch factory screen need a different power cable, and the witson.com page says it is not included as default.
• Three sizes fit. 10.25, 12.3 and 13.3 inch panels all exist for this dash, so the order is merchandising as much as fitment.

What a 13.3-Inch 2K Panel Changes on a Used Lot

The GMV/GXE3217 is a 1200 by 2000 pixel panel, which is what the 2K in the listing means. The comparison that matters is not a 2026 luxury SUV but the factory screen coming out, a 720 pixel class display on most L494s. The extra resolution shows in a forecourt photograph.

The four panel grades: 2K at 1200 by 2000, Blu-ray QLED at 1280 by 720, IPS, and TN.

Colour is the second half: 157 percent gamut coverage against 130 percent for the Blu-ray QLED grade, 75 for IPS and 43 for TN. Map, reversing image and album art stop looking washed out in this light.

Fitment: L494 2013-2020, and What the Window Excludes

The published fitment is one line: Range Rover Sport L494, model years 2013-2020. The panel replaces the factory screen in the existing aperture and reuses the factory surround, so nothing is cut.

What it excludes matters as much. The full-size Range Rover on the L405 platform is a different dashboard, the Evoque and Discovery Sport are different cars again, and the L461 generation is a different interior.

The Factory System Decides the Power Cable

WITSON publishes its own distinction chart for Land Rover and Jaguar factory units: Denso on the oldest cars, Bosch through the middle, Harman Kardon on the late ones. They photograph alike; the menus, the connector count and the audio path do not.

WITSON's factory system chart, used to identify which unit sits behind the L494 dashboard.

How to identify the unit before the car is booked in

Three photographs settle it: the factory menu, the amplifier label on the boot floor, and the connector block with the surround unclipped. The same chart notes that a factory 8 inch dual-view screen becomes single view after the swap, which belongs in the quotation.

GMV/GXE3217 Specification Sheet

All of it is on the witson.com product page, so it can go into a quotation without a follow-up email. The last two rows carry the commercial weight.

13.3, 12.3 or 10.25: Picking the SKU per Car

The same aperture takes three panels, and the choice is rarely technical. It is about what the buyer is selling.

Which size for a used lot, and which for a fleet

For a dealer, 13.3 inch wins on the photograph and on the conversation. A fleet wants the quieter order. The 12.3 inch screen for the Range Rover Sport L494 2013-2020 keeps a smaller footprint, and the 10.25 inch screen for the Range Rover Sport L494 2013-2020 covers buyers who want the dashboard to look factory.

The climate panel for the earlier cars

On the earlier half of the run the climate controls sit in their own screen below the radio, and that panel fails on its own schedule. The 9 or 10 inch air condition panel for the Range Rover Sport L494 is a separate part for cars built from 2013 to 2016, keeping the original car functions. Later cars do not need it, so never merge the two lines.

Installation: Aperture, Harness and What the Car Keeps

This is a screen swap, not a dashboard rebuild. The surround unclips, the head unit comes out, the kit harness goes between car and panel, and the trim returns on the same clips in an afternoon.

One unit with a fixed icon column; the surround is the factory one.

Two settings cause most callbacks: the reverse camera has to be told its input, and the Android audio needs the AUX route set. Neither is a defect, but both look like one to a customer who collected the car untested.

Living With the Panel: JLR Mode, Climate and Gloss

The interface is built around a fixed left column: home, voice, phone, apps, 360 camera, settings. The middle launcher tile is the one that sells the unit. Labelled JLR mode, it switches the display to the original car equipment, so climate, vehicle settings and factory audio pages stay rather than being replaced.

Navigation, JLR mode and music on the night theme; the JLR tile switches to the original equipment.

The second launcher page: sound settings, ZLINK phone mirroring and local video.

Two honest notes. The panel is glossy: good in daylight, a fingerprint magnet by evening, so a matte film is the cheap answer. The icon column also stays on screen permanently, which is deliberate here.

The Carton, the Accessories and the Second Sale

Every panel ships with the harness set, the CAN interface, the GPS antenna, the USB tails and an external microphone. They travel separately because they vary by market and factory generation, so check the packing list before the carton closes.

• Reversing camera. The biggest attachment sale on a car of this age, and the panel already has the input and the settings page for it.
• Dash camera. Records to card and plays back on the panel, an easy add for a fleet dealer.
• Tyre pressure and DAB. Market dependent. Ask before packing, not after the container sails.

A dealer who buys screens alone reorders screens alone. The second line costs nothing at quotation stage and turns a one-off order into a repeat account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the GMV/GXE3217 fit a 2015 Range Rover Sport L494 with the Harman Kardon amplifier?

Yes, with one condition: a Harman Kardon car with a 10.25 inch factory screen needs a different power cable, not included as default. Name the amplifier when ordering.

Do I need the AC2006 climate panel on a 2016 Range Rover Sport L494?

Check the build date. The AC2006 covers cars from 2013 to 2016, where the climate controls live in their own screen; later cars do not need it. Quote the parts as separate lines, never as one kit.

Does the GMV/GXE3217 keep the original climate and car settings on a 2014 Range Rover Sport L494?

Yes. The JLR mode tile switches the display to the original car equipment, so climate, vehicle settings and factory audio pages stay reachable. Nothing is deleted from the car.

Is the 13.3-inch GMV/GXE3217 an Android 15 unit for a 2019 Range Rover Sport L494?

Yes: Android 15, built-in CarPlay, built-in GPS and dual USB ports. The 2019 car is late in the run, so confirm the Harman Kardon amplifier before the order is entered.

What changes when a 2013 Range Rover Sport L494 has the 8 inch dual-view factory screen?

Dual view does not survive the swap; the new panel shows a single view. That is a property of the panel, not a fault, and it belongs in the quotation so nobody discovers it at handover.

Send the model year, the factory menu and the amplifier label, and the SKU, the harness and the cable question are settled before packing. Specification and gallery: 13.3 inch 2K screen page for the Range Rover Sport L494.
