CarPlay, Android Auto, Mirrorlink, updating the F-Type entertainment

We're working on retrofitting InControl Apps to older cars right now. A 2013 XF and a 2014 LR2. It's been quite a headache for months now, and still have not got it working.
The additional hardware is expensive and hard to find, special cables are needed, and the programming has not been straight forward. Certainly nothing simple like the Surround Sound upgrades or the other retrofits.

Well yeah, JLR always says that.
They say you can't retrofit a reversing camera. I have.
They say you can't retrofit navigation. I have.
They say you can't retrofit the Surround Sound system. I have.
They say you can't retrofit TV. I have.
They say you can't retrofit DAB or Sirius. I have.
They say you can't enable Adaptive Dynamics. I have.
It's not going to be impossible. Just not as easy as the others have been...

Obviously one man's "impossible" is another's "challenge accepted" ;-)
I'm guessing Intouch -> Intouch Pro is just as much fun due to the change in cabling/bus. The reviews of the F-Type in the UK seem to show a different infotainment system that looks more like the Discovery Sport I recently had as a loaner. Getting the GoPro Jaguar app working would be nice on our older steeds ;-)

Long story short, the InControl Touch Pro (NGI, Next Generation Infotainment) in the 2017MY is a completely different infotainment system to the InControl Touch Plus (IAM2.1) in the older cars.
The InControl Apps is the phone connectivity system for the InControl Touch Plus IAM2.1 system. This is what we are trying to do.
Putting a new NGI system into an IAM2.1 car is not on the table.

The voice interface for JustDrive is currently broken on T-Mobile (and maybe others) due to their voice gateway not being IPV6 compliant which again, they are working on.

Sometime in the next month or so I should be making an install of an aftermarket Apple Carplay system to a 2013 XF, which has the same IAM2.1 system as the F-Type's up to 2015 (and some 2016 models, if you have the 770W).
It takes over the Nav menu on the screen, you lose the factory Nav completely, but you get CarPlay instead.
I'll update you when it's done.
