Description
This Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto retrofit solution from Unique Auto Developments® is a great addition to your Range Rover. This enables you to use your favourite navigation apps on your phone such as Google Maps and Waze, listen to music, read messages, and everything your phone can do, you can do it on your car’s factory screen and stereo. Complete integration with the original Land Rover media system, volume overlays, notifications from the original system will be displayed over the CarPlay screen – see our product video for a demonstration.

The system is excellent. Hard to tell it’s aftermarket and works really well. Ability to keep dual view was a must, and this works like the original.
I’m a relative novice and I Installed it myself without any issues.
Great product. Dispatched the same day I ordered and delivered the next. Surprised it’s not better known. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I use this for Apple CarPlay so cannot comment on Android Auto. Once you power up the unit, I quickly got Apple CarPlay to display, but no audio. With it being wireless, I assumed the input source on the Range Rover system needed to be set to Bluetooth, but after a lot of messing about, it needs be set to aux. Once I got this sorted, the audio sounded terrible. Even though the car volume was only set to 10, it sounded like you were playing full blast and was very distorted. I then discovered a menu for the system where you could adjust the audio and other features about the system. In here, all audio levels were set to maximum. Once I dropped these to 50%, the sound was much better. The swipe left and right is very tricky and can take 3 or 4 attempts. None of this is mentioned anywhere in the instructions provided. A point to remember (not a fault), I have a Three MiFi box in the car to provide a Wifi hotspot. If I connect to CarPlay wirelessly, I cannot also connect to the WiFi hotspot. Therefore, Waze uses my mobile data. If I connect to Carplay with a lightning cable, I can connect to my hotspot and Waze uses my unlimited data allowance from Three. There is slight interference in the audio at higher levels although I suspect a ferrite ring on the 3.5mm audio cable may resolve this. This is most noticeable when using the phone function of CarPlay.
