A couple of things about this, it reads the can/bus network it looks like, and it seems to use the 'guts' of the original video system. and just plugin a new 'front'. I would suspect you should be fine with it doing everything the current system does. I had already figured most of the 'overlay' on the infotainment was on the IAM module, so my guess is that this just re-intercepts and displays as a skin. What sucks is that this does not get away from having to *******ize the amp setup to get better sound, however, does provide you a good nav setup. Since this is running android, I wonder if I can root it and grab the messages from the canbus network to relay to the center screen for nav/music/speed.
All interesting stuff.... this is exactly what I was looking for.... i am going to be living the bachelor life while my wife is in Philly for work for a couple of months, I may pick this up....

Referring to the other thread at the top of the board for the 10.25" Android retrofit thread. I got the Merryway unit. I think this thread covers both the OEM update available for newer models as well as the retrofit, and don't want to cross post too much so I will be posting my updates there.

I too have been waiting to read about the testing on the Merryway unit - but I wanted to share something I discovered when looking into this. It looks to me like the "CarPlay" component of that system is actually not something created by the company. You have to use a USB "CarPlay Dongle" - and if you do a quick search on Amazon you'll find there are other units like it on the market, that are made for Android head units or tablets. It appears it's a CarPlay Dongle that works with Android devices. There's nothing wrong with this setup - but I thought it was interesting - Merryway is selling an Android tablet integration (which of course isn't simple to integrate the factory screens!) - and the CarPlay functionality is really a universal solution for Android tablets. Hopefully those Dongles and Apps continue to work in the future! Otherwise the CarPlay functionality could stop. Either way - I'm excited to hear about the test units!

CarPlay is added by new/updated software to the NGI, for whatever reason they haven't done it for the NLI system, maybe it's just not possible because of hardware or software limitation.

InControl Touch (NLI) and InControl Touch Pro (NGI) have totally different hardware and software, they are two separate, different systems.

Maybe they can do it but would rather you bought a new car.

Officially this is not for free, you have to pay for it. Although some people did get it as "goodwill" because of complaints about the system.
Talk to your dealer about it.
As above, talk to your dealer about getting the latest software installed and Smartphone pack activated. Be prepared to open your wallet though...

Here's a video of a retrofit from older physical buttons to newer, larger screen: https://www.jaginfo.org/archive/index.php/t-106730.html
Not sure that helps anyone.
Also, Smartphone pack is standard on I-Pace, but some forums were suggesting Jag HQ rec'd dealers to add it for free, to "connect" with customers. I've seen that on forums, and it's anecdotal.
BUT... my dealer is 100% turning it on for no charge, which is nice.
