    Wireless Carplay and/or standard phone Bluetooth hands free. Multiple phones.
    Reversing camera.
    Van camera.
    Steering wheel controls.

    I use Apple maps with my phone. Wife uses Google maps with hers. I can switch between Van Camera, LR stock NAV and Carplay with a hidden switch. I also put the Van camera on the RSE displays so the kids can see what is coming up while we're traveling.

    With the exception of the button to switch the displays hidden under the HVAC unit, it looks and works like a factory install.

    I'm in Dianella if you'd like to come down I'd be happy to show you how it all works and is installed.

    Oh, the GVIF is a box that takes inputs from things like cameras, and a HDMI from the Carplay box and puts it on the standard NAV display. GVIF is the interface between the factory Nav (under the seat) and the display (Gigabit Video InterFace).

    Or you can rip out and replace. You lose factory Nav, 4x4 display, RSE (including TV/DVD if you had it) and clock on the dash.

    That looks a lot easier and also cheaper! I do like the idea of keeping the "original" look. I work in Osborne Park so could easily swing around after work. I'm back at work on 4th Jan, so any time after then that suits you I'd appreciate being able to see how it all operates.

    Ah get it now, its not what it appears to be and this can be done without their kit. All you are doing is hiding the original head unit under the dash and looping in the new unit.

    This was the original install post I saw that put me onto the Naviplus unit, but for the life of me I can't get Google translate to work now.

    Apple CarPlay в Discovery 3 на штатном экране — Land Rover Discovery, 2.7 л., 2008 года на DRIVE2

    I made a pdf of it at the time, but it's 27M. If you need it I can post it somewhere.

    The instructions that come with it are rudimentary at best, although Naviplus themselves were super responsive to E-mail.
    MY08 D3 - The Antichrist - "Permagrimace". Turn the key and play the "will it get me home again" lottery.

    The thing to watch out for with a android system is what version of android it comes with and how/if upgradeable this is. As Ive read mentions that some can be quite old and buggy, which limits what software you can run. I think just using a phone for satnav is the simplest solution for now.
