You can remove the plugs and wire nut the wires together the plugs are just for convenience. You will need to read the wiring diagrams of both to know which wire goes where.
What year,\ and model is the Lamd Rover?
What year and model is the Range Rover?
I have the wiring diagrams available at this sitem you will need the above information.

Land Rover Wiring Harness
just wired my 6330 into my sons first car so can help out.

Using above format:
FRONT right | FRONT right
FRONT left | FRONT left
12V + | 12V + connected to ignition switch
auto antenna (I didn't use this)
EARTH | (don't know name but used on some car
phones to turn volum down when phone rings-not needed)
BACK right | BACK right
BACK left | BACK left
As a matter of convention the speaker wires that have the thin black
stripe are used to make sure all the speakers are connected to the
same polarity, and this way they are all in sync. On some speakers
(low end of market) it also shows the "earth" wire for the speaker.
The purple 12 volt wire is connected to a voltage source that is
always on, as this is what maintains the radios memory (radio station
settings and clock) and makes the LED on the front flash as a security
warning.
If you want the radio to work without having to have the ignition
switch on, then simply run the two wires together to your fused active
12 volt supply.
To make sure the radio is OK I connect the purple and black wire to
the 12 volt and earth respectively and make sure the LED comes on.
When the red wire is cionnected then the screen lights up etc and you
can put the security code etc in.
Don't run the radio without any speakers connected as you may wreck
the output circuit and this is expensive.
The antenna plugs into the socket at the rear right hand side.
Please rate this solution.

If you leave the original plugs connected to the radio unit you will be able to get an adapter from a motor store. In the UK Halfords keep most types, in the US I don't know what similar stores you have but i would imagine Radio Shack or similar will keep the type you need. Take the radio unit with you so they can see the connectors on the unit - they will probablky be ISO fittings and then they will be able to advise the Range Rover fitting.
If they do not have a suitable adaptor, ask them to identifiy the connectors on the radio unit (DIN, ISO etc) and then ask your local Landrover/Range Rover dealer if they can supply an adaptor for you.
Hope this clears your problem, please mark the post as Fixya.

Thankyou for this information. I'm not sure that I follow it all, but I shall give it a go. There are no plugs in the Range Rover so I have to hard wire it in. Thanks for your help.
