Android Auto Smart phone modification.

Guys just had Android Auto fitted to my 2018 XE and it works. The kit came from Unique Developments around £500 had a reversing camera added as well Local auto electrician fitted them. If you want the android capability the kit covers iPhone car play as well. Does not take away any Jaguar standard facilities. I recommend.

Hi Steve

I've been looking at Auto Unique Developments Kit as an upgrade, my XF has the ( in control) with the buttons down each side off the screen.

And the kit that you've fitted seems to be a good upgrade, because of the better updated Sat Nav you can get with the kit as jaguar have let owner's down by either stopped updating or over charging for a Sat Nav update when you can get some for free.

Regards Tom.

Very worthwhile upgrade with the added benefit of voice control via Google. Im very happy with the set up.  Now to see what i can source in the way of aftermarket front facing cameras

Hi 

Does the factory reverse camera still work with the modification.

Thanks

Yes i had a camera added as did not have factory fitted. Took me a while to understand the set up. Instructions for use are somewhat lacking but finally figured out that My Samsung S10+ must be unlocked for correct operation otherwise the system locks up!!!!!!!! Sper happy with Waze feature and Google assistant.

I must admit I'm quite happy with my FM transmitter gadget which, for £20, lets me play my Spotify stuff on my phone through my car's speakers, and also gives me a couple of USB sockets which are handy.

I hate Google so I don't use Assistant, but must admit I wouldn't mind a reverse camera. What was the fitting cost?
