The Definitive Android 10.25” Retrofit Thread
Hi guys since this is being discussed on multiple threads, I thought it’s best we have a dedicated thread for all the info we can find - as this may be a game changer for those of us who have been complaining about lack of tech
there are 2 videos I’ve found online, both in the same lhd car. From the videos is looks like they have replicated the oe screens pre in control pro, the question though is if they have replicated them all, including all the ambient settings, dynamic screen etc
and here is a link to purchase the system in what I assume is lhd, there is no mention of rhd being offered

Hi guys!
Install video is here. I did a usage video as well, but then changed some stuff around and learned a bit more about the unit - so I will do that one tomorrow with my lessons learned. Installing the unit is pretty straight forward so it's not a very long watch! Took a long time to compile on my laptop, however.

Another video showing more oe screens replicated, including the home screen and ambient lighting - I think we’re getting somewhere now
Towards end of video he shows a dongle coming out of back of screen that gives you the full Apple carplay
and same setup narrated in english

The face plate and chassis will need to be different lhd vs rhd as the whole centre stack is angled differently
there is a dongle that allows full Apple car play off your iPhone, so you can use both android or apple
i would assume it’s branded as android because it provides a full open platform to import any apps you like, not just those approved by Apple

The model listed on Aliexpress is listed for F-Type 2016 to 2018:

But I wrote to them and they responded, telling me that they do have the model for 2014-2015. You have to send them pictures and information to verify which model you need.

I agree. But that might not apply to the F-type. The kit might cover multiple configurations. In one of the install videos, we see all the F-type plugs being re-connected. One of those as to be the GPS

AGREED we need a guinea pig. GoFundMe page? LOL
I'm leery of too many virtual buttons, weren't they the source of most reviewers' gripes about JLRs electronic interfaces?????
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the new circuit boards just bolt up to your existing existing HU? So if any angling exists, it would remain intact.

Yeah... I use the side buttons quite a bit, so I'd be annoyed (if I needed to press three clicks to call up the front sensors when parking, for example). Another use is to call up the NAV screen when the radio screen is displayed.

From what I saw in the video it seems you have to move the boards from your existing HU to the Android one. So the angling would be significant.
