There are a couple of different systems in the 2018 cars. Can you post pictures of the Home Screen with the car on? And if you go into your system information usually in settings somewhere can you post a picture of that too
If I remember correctly later 2018 cars could have factory CarPlay / android auto added but earlier would need an aftermarket add
This has been discussed a bunch of times. UAD have a version for MY18 cars and it works brilliantly for me.
Another option is to install a 10" OEM screen with the latest JLR software but that takes some OEM hardware, specialist knowledge and equipment. Except a company called LR Retrofits in the UK I haven't seen anyone else who can do it for you. There's some other thread on here where a forum member explains how he did it himself but it's far from straight forward.
I would not do it unless you're willing to get pretty deep into the weeds with regards to obtaining and setting up Pathfinder or another CCF updating program. If you can find an indy shop willing to do the CCF, the actual screen replacement isn't too hard, although it does require some dremeling.
I contacted GTA cars about their system and they said its not supported
Not sure about other ones
Does anyone have experience with my year model
When I was shopping for an F I really wanted a MY18 400 Sport, but I also really wanted CarPlay, so I looked long and hard at the options, and while none are perfect, the UAD system system seems the easiest, best, and most straightforward, so I'd recommend starting there: https://unique-ad.co.uk/product/wire...BoCImIQAvD_BwE
There's a lot of confusion surrounding MY18 because of the way vehicles are registered in the UK, but in the USA, there are no MY18 cars with the 10" screen system necessary for just reprogramming, which is itself would be a major hurdle stateside. Some guys have hired the JLR Retrofits guys and flown them over to do the conversions to 10" screens and reprogramming, but that's a major planning endeavor. Unique Auto Developments, UAD, are the only folks I've seen who are clear and confident in their product.
In the end, I decided that all of it was way too much trouble and decided to take the hit upfront with a MY19 which is the first USA market model year to have factory CP/Android Auto.
Sorry I can't help more, but good luck with your project.
