Useful video, thanks. I’m interested in retro-fitting this for wireless Apple CarPlay in my 2012 XKR. However, by bypassing the USB module, does that mean I’d lose the ability to charge my phone via the USB socket in the armrest? Also, can you advise if there is any drop in audio quality? I currently play music via an Invery Bluetooth adapter plugged in to the car’s iPod socket.
my dad wants to fit this to his xkrs but when we checked there was no usb module in the back do you know where its located or if this carplay kit will even work on an xkrs? otherwise this is just a perfect mod
Hi, I saw your video today and looked at your HP for this product but can´t find. My question is: Is your solution also for an Jaguar XK from 2006 and how much would it cost? Very kind if you can answer me.
I watched the video several times before the installation to familiarise myself, then put it on 0.75x speed and paused it regularly. In reality it's not that easy to disconnect the fibre optic cable from the USB unit without discounting the unit to find the release tab. The daughter-board installation part is good and well filmed, but reattaching the main loom to the new cables is very poor - there are 3 fibre optics plugs that can connect to any of the 3 connectors on the new loom and it's almost impossible to see what they're plugging into what. After lots of pause and rewind I got there. In the end the whole process took 2 hours including hunting for the Mlink software to connect. Mr12volt supplies a great bit of kit but awful instructions. You can download a wiring diagram but why don't they just put it in the box? And why no link or QR code for the Mlink software?
I agree entirely. Support is there if you contact Liam he always replies. But for the simple act of providing better instructions then surely it would save everyone’s time. I’ve done an install and initially it didn’t work. Cause was (I hope) a ribbon cable not quite pushed in far enough. There are 2 from the motherboard to the new board that are close together and one is stopping the other. Also no mention of the red and grey thin connector at the very bottom of the unit. Does it need to be reconnected or is it redundant? I’m now hoping when I reconnect it tomorrow it works ok. Music drove me round the twist too. Better with none.
Installed mine yesterday - I was careful and took my time and finished in about 3 hours. Highly recommended!
Not complicated if you take your time, works perfectly
Worth doing it too, as it is going to deliver perfect audio quality through the use of MOST system.
Hello
Is it compatible with a 2007 xkr x150 which only has the radio and cd, not the auxiliary activated?
Thanks

Sorry, dismount

Wow that seems super complicated. Also can’t you actually talk thru the installation instead of just showing in the video
