OEM-grade Apple CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit for Land Rover and Jaguar. Add full smartphone mirroring with factory touchscreen and steering wheel control.
Product Overview
LR Retrofit supplies a complete Apple CarPlay and Android Auto pack for Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles. This upgrade integrates full smartphone mirroring into the factory infotainment system. You access your navigation, music, messages, and voice assistant directly on the existing touchscreen. The system responds to the original steering wheel controls and rotary dial, so you keep your eyes on the road.
We use OEM-grade interface modules that work with the JLR InControl Touch Pro and InControl Touch systems. The hardware fits invisibly behind the dashboard. The software activates the CarPlay and Android Auto icons in the factory menu. No aftermarket screens or external boxes remain visible. The result is a completely original appearance with modern smartphone connectivity.

Performance Benefits

Installation and Coding Support
We recommend professional installation. LR Retrofit supplies the complete hardware kit with the interface module, wiring harness, and antenna. Our technical team provides remote coding support through JLR diagnostic tools. You update the infotainment software to activate CarPlay and Android Auto. This enables the icons in the factory menu.
The installation follows the factory method. You mount the interface module behind the dashboard. The wiring harness connects between the existing screen and the vehicle harness. No cutting or splicing of the original loom is necessary. All connectors use factory pin-outs.
Technical Note
The CarPlay and Android Auto pack integrates over the JLR MOST or LVDS bus, depending on the system. The interface module translates the smartphone video and audio streams into the factory format. The steering wheel controls send commands through the existing CAN bus. LR Retrofit supplies the correct coding parameters for your model. The system preserves all original vehicle functions.
