I wonder if one of those new wireless carplay dongles would work well with this.

hi all
I have been considering options for updating the infotainment and was interested in the merryway but ultimately I don't think i'd use the android stuff much as im an apple guy and it seems to be an old version of android.
has anyone had any experience with this unit? it seems to be a carplay add on for the stock screen?

any info would be appreciated

If price isn't a consideration, I would give it a try. If it is, I would do a search and see if you can find some of the other companies that offer the same types of packages.

Has anyone tried installing and using a car launcher app like CarWebGurus? The "Range" theme they have available would fit really nicely in our cars.

I'm seriously considering this upgrade again now that I found out you can have a fully customizable interface.

Received a link to this Merryway unit on Ebay.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Multime...97.m4902.l9144
Now sporting Android 7.1 - 1G Ram.
Does this solve most problems????

I would advise that you look for a 2GB unit, Merryway makes them for the XJ, I can't see them not making them for your model. I seriously don't know why they sell 1GB units at all.
Also, that link you posted goes to this thread, this page, not to Ebay.

Thanks for input, and I fixed the link.
I see right there on ebay how they have much more powerful units for BMW, etc. Perhaps they are just unloading the outdated junk here for our lower volume car. Will wait for a 2GB or higher model.

The Android version doesn't really matter all that much. Most of the OS version improvements don't really make all that much difference in a car stereo applications. It is the RAM that is important. I found two sites that have the 2GB available for your F-type, but for some reason it appears they are way more expensive than for the other Jag models. 1. https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32950463403.html
2. https://exclusivecarauto.com/1025-mu...4¤cy=USD
Compare that to what I can find for other Jaguar models: https://kanorcardvdplayer.aliexpress..._6044285.1_1_0
