As shown in another thread there are aftermarket matrix (supposedly) LED lights for earlier cars but that's a different story.
If they claim matrix, it's just a claim. The forward-facing camera and lights have to communicate via the BCM to make the matrix/pixel function work, and I doubt an aftermarket provider has a clue how to do that if the electronic language and hardware won't support it.

Yeah, they may have some kind of matrix look but I can't see either how they could make the matrix/pixel function actually work like the OEM lights.

The aforementioned Dual zone climate and iDynamic (or whatever the R-Dynamic control menu is called), would be nice in my case, but the trick I’d really like is Global window Close from the keyfob! Actually, I’d love it more from the Remote app, but that goes beyond car coding. I often park in my garage with the windows down, which means I can’t use remote start, so I’d like a solution for that. Hey, can you code out the requirement for raised windows as a pre-req for remote start?? 🙂

The SmartTop controller can raise and lower windows in addition to the convertible top, from the key fob. I wonder if it would work in a coupe? You’d have to figure out how/where to install it.

You guys need to stop with all the half-baked controllers and tools and get the GAP IID tool. It's usable across the entire JLR range and allows total coding of the CCF as well as many other functions.

This tool is as close to SDD/PATHFINDER/TOPIx Cloud as it gets without the outlay of the factory tool.
