My amplifier is not working properly, but i had no idea how to check that. I thought i have to remove all the covers behind the seats but thanks to your video, it seems like I won't have to do unnecessary works. It's surprisingly easy to remove that cover and i don't know why i was so worried about that lol Thanks again!
Hey, great video! I have a 2014 F Type S. I dont have the control unit behind the glovebox like on your car. My car just has an extra storage box that swings open. Do you know where i could find the computer that controls the screen and speakers on my car so i can get carplay too? Thanks!
I saw another video with the bosch unit and they needed to take the entire screen and mid console out, in this video you only seem to put in some wiring between the seats. Am I correct in thinking the harman system is much easier to install? I have the meridian sound system, is that harman or bosch? Or just have to take the panel out and look for black or grey?
Great thanks. Received my order but wondering if the WiFi Ariel is needed for wireless connection? Without it do you need to connect phone with wired connection?
Thanks for replying, I did a full factory reset of the unit from the home menu on the car play unit - I then disconnected it for 30 minutes, powered it up again, re connected the phone by Bluetooth and everything now works as it should. Transforms the car - thanks again
Can you please advise if the previous setting (either Android Auto or Carplay) returns to the screen after the car has been switched off or do you have to hold the home button down again?
Sounds like (no pun intended) you probably need to go into your phone settings and check you can play music over Bluetooth, it's probs something silly like that 👍

Glad I could help
Great video’s & very informative, helping me with my F type mods with this
Thank you
Great Video. Very informative. Now that you have had it fitted for several months, is it still working and would you still recommend it ? Thanks 😃😃
That was my v6, I have sold it now as I have an svr and retrofitted the 10” screen giving me carplay

Glovebox?

Yes I think the Bosch is more complex, just check between the seats to see which you have
Will this work on 2015 F-type? Infotainment looks little different.
Pre face lift all had the same front screen but 2 different back ends, Harmon kardon (mine) or Bosch. Units are available for both types
Touchscreen doesnt work on mine what dipswitchss did you use to get it to work ?
Hi, thinking of doing this mod, have you had any issues and how is the Bluetooth connection and call quality via new unit? Cheers
It has been perfect since I installed, call quality is no different!
Great thanks. Received my order but wondering if the WiFi Ariel is needed for wireless connection? Without it do you need to connect phone with wired connection?
I left the aerial off of mine and it works perfectly
Brilliant thanks. I've had issues with Bluetooth on standard unit, it works when it wants to and is intermittent, hopefully this sorts that!
Great vid, I have just installed the same unit in my 2016 coupe. My rear camera not activating on reverse but sensors etc do... any ideas?
Hmm maybe some of the dip switch settings need changing? Mine worked fine
Thanks for replying, I did a full factory reset of the unit from the home menu on the car play unit - I then disconnected it for 30 minutes, powered it up again, re connected the phone by Bluetooth and everything now works as it should. Transforms the car - thanks again
i have a 2018 convertible and the rear cover does not come off, it is part of the whole rear assembly. Has anyone done that upgrade on a 2018?
Have you had any issue with the Rear view camera?
Non at all, worked perfectly!
Link to the unit please?
It was from eBay, but they change all the time, search for one and if it looks like mine it should be ok!
Can you please advise if the previous setting (either Android Auto or Carplay) returns to the screen after the car has been switched off or do you have to hold the home button down again?
It fires up into CarPlay each time you get in the car!
@@philscars That's brilliant and thanks for the reply. Great video!
Have just done the same, and Android Auto works, but I get no sound when playing music. The music still plays from the phone. Any ideas?
Haven’t got an android phone I’m afraid so I cannot help you
Sounds like (no pun intended) you probably need to go into your phone settings and check you can play music over Bluetooth, it's probs something silly like that 👍
The solution was to return the cheap ebay unit, and replace with one of the IDCORE units. Works perfectly now 👌
@jezahl5020 I'm glad to hear you got it sorted mate 👍, out of curiosity what did you pay for your unit?
What year is your ftype?
2016
How about for Bosch
I dont know, as I dont have a Bosch system, sorry!
I have the bosch one on order so will do my best to.video it when I get it if yiu haven't already but it's screen out for.that one
