    As your car is an Australian version, I wouldn’t know. Quite often there are physical and software differences between countries. Maybe contact LR customer services, Aus and pose the question?

    Does the car have a SIM slot under the armrest? In settings can you connect to a home WiFi?

    You need either one of these options working to perform a download assuming that feature is supported in Australia.

    One of compatriots should be along to confirm hopefully.

    Hi mate,
    MY17 could be a bit hit and miss for CarPlay support based on what the original owner ordered for the config.

    The dash screen size can impact also the USB interface in the centre console.

    I have an update.

    I have successfully installed apple car ply! For those in Australia it’s relatively simple fix. I got the hardware from a wrecked sport and had Oldjaguar in Sydney update the system. He can supply as an entire kit relatively simple! If anyone wants his contact details happy to provide them, cam is legend and an absolute JLR boff!
