Recently picked up my 2015 F-Type R Coupe, and loving it! Turns out this guy had an ID-CORE installed to the car for aftermarket Apple CarPlay. Thing is, its got a 4 digit PIN and of course was not included with the car info... I cant find a manual online, so wondering if anyone has experience or knows how to just factory reset it and I am sure I can figure out the rest, just cant guess the 4 digit pin...
4 digit pin only allows you to select the car brand displayed in one of the tabs so you can have “jaguar” instead of “car” . Doesn’t enable access to anything else I think
Reboot is actually in the submenu of “smartphone”option and doesn’t need code
Reset button is next to the dip switches on the unit so means opening up your dash
I don’t recall needing a 4 digit pin when I did my installation, the instructions do not mention it. Just the pin for Bluetooth.
Perhaps the previous owner disconnected the USB to the phone from the unit. I guess it will work once you plug the phone in to the unit and have aux as the input on the car settings.
however, I still don’t know how to get to the CarPlay screen. I’ve watched a few videos where one kind is holding the Home Screen button, but no luck. How do I get to the CarPlay screen? After the PIN, selecting Jaguar, and pairing with IDCORE Bluetooth on my phone, the Navigation screen is still grayed out for CarPlay.
I have an email out to IDCORE, but no response yet.
thanks again! Glad to have an active forum!
After PIN entered, selected “Jaguar” This is the icon when I hit “restart” on the module. I think it’s the IDCORE logo/icon?

Yes it seems it only is for notating the car, and nothing further was accomplished. I will be playing around with plugging in the iPhone to see what else that enables. If all else fails, I will remove and reinstall so it hard resets. But I hope it will let me choose the WiFi 6 digit PIN once I do... I dont know how I am going to get that otherwise. Seems ID-CORE supplier only talkes B2B so I might be out of luck for a manual unless someone has one and is kind enough to take pictures and post online...
Thank you for the info! I will update later once I give it a shot after work.
Are you encountering an issue that requires a PIN?
There is a PIN code for the Apple CarPlay icon in the menu, and it was 1123. But per another member, its only for designating the car, and the actual setup things are in the WiFi area. I will be playing around with it after work to see if I can get it to do anything more when I plug in the phone instead of BlueTooth connection.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much, Malbec! I will play around with this later and update everyone. Hopefully these pictures of the manual help others!
Sorry about the order of photos, will leave it to iPad wizkids to sort out!
Remember, switch between factory and CarPlay is long push on home button.
It took a while for the wireless bit to start working, one day I noticed that I had CarPlay on the screen when my phone was in my pocket. I think to do with stray Wi-fi during initial install.
All in all it’s a great piece of kit, so glad I bought mine!
Enjoy!

Don’t be sorry at all! You saved my a** and it worked!!
It was a bit finicky at first and required several restarts and such, but it’s up and running.
Here’s the new whip! Love the paint matched diffuser.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped, and a special thank you to you, Malbec.
