Just finished installing INAV infotainment system with aftermarket backup camera. https://www.4x4shop.ca/collections/f...inment-systems. Everything I needed for just under a grand.
This is a new 10 inch touchscreen that adds wireless carplay, Android Auto and more. Looks great, works great and boots fast. Nice for me also because the OEM touchscreen in my 2014 was intermittent.
1. Disassembling the car to do this was not hard. The parts I took apart were really well made and re-assembly was not hard either.
1. Getting the cable that runs from the touchscreen to the head behind the seats to plug in was very hard. You just have to mess with it, jiggle it, hold the clip up down, just really hard maybe that was just me.
2. You have to take the old touch screen apart and kind of combine the old and new. Also not very hard and it seems like restoring it to OEM wouldn't be very hard either.
3. The touch screen replaces the old bezel and has soft buttons that replace the hard buttons. You have to take the old bezel apart and plug the old hard buttons into the harness.
4. You need an external microphone and speaker for carplay. You have to install a GPS antenna on the dash and optionally a 4g antenna if you put a SIM in the unit.
5. For the aftermarket backup camera, you don't have to tap the backup light, it just works. There was some confusion on my part because there is a dongle pass-through which I think is for the factory backup camera and an RCA for aftermarket.
6. You don't need to use the black negative wire on the backup camera, it must pick up the ground on the RCA.
7. The pink wire on the harness can be used to power the camera.
8. You have to tell the system that you added a camera.
9. You have to set the system to use aux for sound for the android functions.
10 I got the wireless OBDII adapter but haven't set that up yet.
11. All of the steering wheel controls work except for next song, I saw "train steering wheel controls" in the setup somewhere so I think that will work when I figure it out.
Thanks so much to all who helped me and thanks to JagCode3 for telling me how to route the camera wire. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...m-vert-288986/

Feel free to correct anything I got wrong here. I am a complete amateur with time on my hands.

 

Glad to help and that you are enjoying the new unit. How is the music equalizer? That is a must-have to overcome the Meridian system's limitations.

ASAP - download Torque Pro and set up your OBD2 adapter to do constant coolant and oil temp monitoring with visible and audible alarms. I have my visible set to 220F and audible at 230F.

Mine got up to 225F the other day and I was watching it like a hawk! Engine damage has been reported at as low as 235F on the forum during a coolant loss situation. If I ever hear the audible alarm I am pulling over immediately and shutting down!

 

Does torque pro run on the phone or on the android head. I use an iphone and there is an iphone app.

 

Download it for Android on the Google Play app on your new head unit. You need a Gmail account to sign in, and that will also sign you into YouTube, Chrome, YouTube Music, etc. Only Torque Pro for Android has the alarm function, no iOS app has it last we checked.

If you live in an area with LE speed traps, Waze is also a good one to have as it is has crowd sourced alerts showing where the real-time LE speed traps are. There is also JBV1 and Highway Radar apps (for Android only) if you have a radar detector.

Practice using the split screen function - very useful to have 2 apps running side by side.

 

Glad it's up and running!

All my steering controls work, so yours should as well after some tweaking.

 

Thank you for the write up. -"You need an external microphone and speaker for carplay" vs "You have to set the system to use aux for sound for the android functions."
Can you please elaborate how this works? For what do you need the speaker? If you plug AUX, do you have somewhat set everytime that you want to use it instead of USB/Radio etc?
How is the audio quality?

 

Mind sharing your EQ settings?

 

Unfortunately I am deaf in one ear so I can't tell where sound is coming from but pre-sales told me I needed the external microphone and the speaker for carplay. When I was having trouble plugging the passthrough cable into the head behind the seats I was told this was just for android sound output, for example, when the cable was not plugged into the head I could play music from a thumb drive plugged into the factory USB jack but not from the USB jacks on the new harness.

 

@Evoex I use PowerAmp equalizer for Android on the "Rock" preset - works very well in the convertible with its unusual acoustics, and it works with mp3s/flacs/etc and streaming services. PowerAmp player is a good mp3 player too and has the EQ built in. A lot of settings for music geeks like me.

I have my Audiotec Fischer DSP (which replaced the OEM amp) and speakers tuned to the Jazzi V2 curve as the baseline (similar to the "Rock" preset in PowerAmp).

I wish we could access the OEM Bosch/Harman amp's DSP settings to adjust them and set our own curves, phase, and time alignment. The JLR curve is almost all mid and no bass, which is understandable when you see what the rear OEM woofers look like. As you turn the volume up the bass goes down to mitigate rattles from the rear (rolloff). Done to keep visits to the dealer for rattles to a minimum I think...

 

Do i have to disassemble the whole transmission tunnel? Is there a guide how to do it?
Thanks

 

Its been a while since I did the install but I think you sneak the wires under the rug.

 

Easier to pull the lower panel along the transmission tunnel away, then tuck the wiring THERE.
There is a strip of foam rubber in the tunnel covering that can be discarded, too.
