FCDIM (screen) replacement - is flashing your VIN required?

Hello.
I have just replaced my front screen which is a 2014 with a new(er) one which happens to be from a 2016.
When I connected the battery the Land Rover logo came on and then went out and nothing else after that. As in not working.
Scanned and says instruments and BCM both lost control with the FCDIM-Front Control but the unit is seen on an ECU scan.

So, does the new unit need flashing to have my VIN or is that not needed and it is broken?


Hoping the former Smile

Put my old screen back in and it came to life straight away so didn't blow any fuses so must be something it doesn't like in the unit.

NEW:
FCDIM-Front Control (Update available)
Assembly (F113) GH22-10E889-AC -> GH22-10E889-AD
Calibration (F124) GH22-14C061-AC -> GH22-14C061-AD
Hardware (F111) EH22-14C234-CD = EH22-14C234-CC = Up-to-date
Serial '000006116040'
Signal (F120) EH52-14C395-AB = Up-to-date
Strategy (F188) GH22-14C060-AC = Up-to-date
VIN SALLAAAG5GA810xxx

OLD:
FCDIM-Front ControlUpdate available

Assembly (F113) EH22-10E889-CE Up-to-date
Calibration (F124) EH22-14C061-CE -> EH22-14C061-CF
Hardware (F111) EH22-14C234-CC = EH22-14C234-CB Up-to-date
Serial '000004282066'
Signal (F120) EH52-14C395-AB Up-to-date
Strategy (F188) EH22-14C060-CE -> EH22-14C060-CF
VIN SALLAAAG5EA727xxx


I put in a new IAM from a different donor vehicle (2016 as well) and that works fine with the updated maps, ECO routes, the previous owner's two iPhones paired and their home address showing on the screen. Now removed.

Just don't want to bother Pat if it isn't a FastLane service I need for the FCDIM. Or send it back if it isn't faulty.
Thanks

Shouldn't need flashing - I've swapped a lot of head units in and out 2016 with 2013 etc and all has been fine - maybe faulty head unit or hard reset required ?

Any errors thrown up from IID?

Hello,

No errors related to the screen - only that I forgot to plug the other cable in on the back of the clock Whistle
I'll check tomorrow but I think it is a DOA.


Thanks

I too have swapped head units and screens between earlier and later models, so I suspect a problem with the unit Thumbs Up

Cool.
Mine is a 2014 - so an EH screen.
I replaced it with a GH and it didn't work. Only the "junction view" displayed when pressing the button. Then I couldn't exit as nothing worked (touchscreen "back" or any hard buttons).
The GH is 2016 with the fancy new layout.
Do you remember specifically what you replaced with what?

Interestingly, the 2016 IAM 2.1 works a treat.

Put it all back together now, but if someone confirms a GH works in an 2014 or earlier I'll try again.

Thanks Steve. Thumbs Up
I think the 2015 is the same layout as the 2014 EA and earlier isn't? The GA is the 2016 with the fancy new layout which is what I am after.

I checked the VIN it came out of as I did an ECU scan and it was a Disco 2016 it came out of. No info on whether this was a basic or high model but I don't think that should matter.

Could well have been faulty if FamousFive remembers getting one working or damaged in transit.

Cheers.

FA onwards is the newer type. AFAIK, As the display layout was totally different between the two I had tried.
