Here's one just released with Android 14 and its own DSP. I will see if it can be purchased yet.

I actually purchased that unit from Witson last month via AliExpress and went through the whole installation just to find that the unit was DOA. I ended up returning it and will look for something from a different manufacturer.

@graybeardnw that sucks, but good to know. The problem is there are very few Jaguar F-Type specific units. And I have found none that cover years 2019 - present which may have something to do with the canbus harness integration. Or is the 2019 and newer still a Harman unit?

I can get around this by putting the car in accessory mode and let the error show then turning the car off then start as normal. Everything works after that. If anyone else has had this issue I would live to hear from you with tour thoughts
Did you install it yourself? How difficult was it?

This YouTube video shows the process for moving the board from the stock head unit into the new one:

Hey, quick question for you. I have the Bosch system and I see in most videos people have to run a wire from the head unit to the area between the seats in the back. Mine has the storage there so I would have to remove the entire back piece off.

Did you have to do that? Or did you just take the motherboard from the OE and put it in the android and connect everything? Thank you

For the install you basically remove the brains from your OEM head unit and install it in here, then in the software you swap back and forth as needed for climate control (vents, etc) and the backup camera screen.

Wireless Android Auto has worked flawlessly.

I had the local shop install it. But yes, you will likely have to run the cable from the head unit to behind the armrest after changing out the motherboard.

My '16 Ftype back piece came off easily.
