Don't know whether it can be done or not but you will also need a new shark fin aerial on the roof as that is where the clearview camera is installed

I thought the shark fin had already a camera for the funny 3D view? I haven‘t checked yet. 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history)

No, the 3D/reverse camera is just above the number plate. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV

I have the same problem. I had such a mirror with a clear view to have because I ordered the car as a model MY21. Unfortunately, during production they changed the model year to MY22 where the mirror is no longer in standard equipment. No one informed me. I'm dealing with my seller.

I checked my order again. The Clearview mirror is checked as standard option.
So probably they changed it but without telling me. I have to check with my dealer on Monday, 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history) Last edited by cyberhusky on 4th Oct 2021 6:55pm. Edited 1 time in total |

For 21 X-Dynamic HSE it was a "Standard" option. When the product managers at JLR optioned the MY22's they turned it into a Option ($450 USD). Unfortunately it was very poorly communicated, executed or even understood and most of the orders in the flow got dropped. I could insert all sort's of profane terms about how messed up it has been to so many customers.

Precisely defined. I was at the dealership yesterday. He'll order a mirror and a rear fin with a camera and we'll do some retrofitting. Hopefully this will be done successfully.

I have the same problem. I have spoke to a company who can retrofit it but it’s a bit pricey. They quoted me £1800 for parts plus labour and activation so it worked out well over 2k. 3.0L MHVE D200 S Pangea Green+Black Pack

You might be able to get all the bits from a vehicle scrappy now that there’s been a few write-offs.
The new Honda E has a similar electric review mirror cam, might be less pricey from a Honda dealer…… but you’ll need a longer cable. I’ve also seen an after market system I think on Amazon. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Today my seller called me telling me my Def MY21 is a MY22 model, the clearview mirror/cam is an 700€ option now.
When I asked if it is possible to exchange it? 1) No 2) to complicated 3) parts not available 4) apparently it has technical problems as not being reliable 
So I leave as it is. 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history) |

To be honest is it really worth the hassle? For me no, I tried it on a dealers car and didn’t like it. Handy on a hard top model though. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

That's unfortunate information. But I understand that you stay as you are. The problems in production are likely to be great. |

I wonder what price they'll announce me. I'm still waiting. 2000 pounds is really expensive, ufff. ... |
