Seamless Smartphone Integration for Your Land Rover or Jaguar
Bring modern connectivity to your luxury vehicle. Our Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Retrofit Pack adds full smartphone mirroring to your JLR factory infotainment system. You gain access to navigation apps, your music library, podcasts, and hands-free communication—all while keeping the original screen, controls, and vehicle settings intact.
Premium Upgrade Without Compromise
JLR vehicles from 2012 onwards feature sophisticated infotainment architectures like InControl Touch, InControl Touch Pro, and Pivi Pro. Our retrofit kit integrates directly with these systems through the vehicle’s CAN bus and, where applicable, the MOST fibre‑optic network. The result is a factory-level experience that feels OEM.
You retain every original function: the reversing camera, parking sensors, climate controls, and steering wheel buttons all work exactly as before. A simple long‑press on a steering wheel button or touch‑screen shortcut toggles between the original JLR interface and the new CarPlay/Android Auto environment.
Compatible Land Rover & Jaguar Models
We engineer specific hardware and software variants for a wide range of JLR models. The pack supports most vehicles equipped with:
- InControl Touch (NGI) from 2012–2016 (e.g., Range Rover Evoque L538, Range Rover Sport L494, Discovery 4 L319)
- InControl Touch Pro (NGI/NGI2) from 2017–2020 (e.g., Range Rover L405, Range Rover Sport L494 facelift, Discovery 5 L462, Velar L560, E‑Pace, F‑Pace, XE, XF, F‑Type)
- Pivi Pro (NGI3) from 2021 onwards (e.g., New Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport)
Each system requires a tailored interface module. We supply the correct variant based on your VIN and current software version. Visit our website to use the guided model checker for full compatibility details.
Features and Benefits
- Wireless and Wired Connection. Depending on your JLR system generation, the kit provides wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, or both USB and wireless options.
- Factory Display and Controls. The system uses your existing touchscreen and rotary dial (where fitted). Touch response remains fast, and sound plays through the original Meridian or standard audio amplifier.
- Navigation and Apps from Your Phone. Use Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, Spotify, WhatsApp, Apple Music, Audible, and more. Voice commands work through Siri or Google Assistant.
- Zero Loss of OEM Functionality. You keep the Land Rover or Jaguar home screen, off‑road information pages, Dynamic/i‑Drive modes, and vehicle settings.
- Simple Installation. The kit includes plug‑and‑play wiring harnesses that connect behind the screen or in the footwell. All required cables, brackets, and coding interfaces come in the box. No cutting, splicing, or permanent modification is necessary.
- Automatic Firmware Updates. We provide future software updates via USB or OTA (where supported) to maintain compatibility with new smartphone operating system versions.
Technical Excellence and JLR Expertise
Our team specialises in JLR vehicle electronics. We have reverse‑engineered the communication protocols, video switching, and audio routing specific to each NGI generation. This deep knowledge guarantees stable performance and protects your vehicle’s sensitive CAN networks. The interface module activates only when the vehicle wakes, draws minimal standby current, and shuts down safely to prevent battery drain.
We also supply a software activation file unique to your vehicle’s VIN. After physical installation, you run a one‑time configuration routine that enables CarPlay and Android Auto in the factory menu. The entire process reflects the same logic JLR uses for factory‑fitted smartphone integration, ensuring dealer diagnostic tools continue to see a standard vehicle.
Enhance Your Driving Experience
Upgrading to CarPlay and Android Auto transforms daily commutes and long journeys. Crystal‑clear navigation instructions appear on your built‑in display. Your playlists and podcasts follow you from home to car. Hands‑free calls and messaging keep you connected, while voice control minimises distraction. Because we integrate with the vehicle’s existing microphone and audio system, call quality remains excellent.
For families and fleets, the system supports multiple paired phones. Switching between drivers is effortless. The kit also adds value to your Land Rover or Jaguar, making it a worthwhile investment if you plan to sell or trade‑in the vehicle.
