This looks like one of the better carplay add on units I've seen. I've been looking for something like this for my LR4.

Thanks for doing that review Peter, it looks like one of the better units available for the Discovery 4. I have resisted buying one up until now because each one lacks some function that I would expect in a modern system. But this one looks the best so far and it can be mounted in front of the original screen without taking the dash apart! Cheers. Ty

Another great and informative video. Also glad you picked up an Evoque and enjoy those productions as well.

Thanks for another great video Peter, My Discovery 3 is desperate for a satnav update 😂 so this is definitely an option for me. Thanks again looking forward to more videos

Always coming up with authentic and new content, we have all benefitted first hand from your experience on LR4…. Nice gesture of you offering this device, but your content is much high value than any device …. Thanks for your hardwork bro 🙏

Thank you for another great video Peter! I just purchased a 2016 LR4 to replace my 2010 Range Rover full-size that was stolen off my driveway 😢 and if I win it, this seems like the perfect non invasive solution to getting CarPlay on an older Land Rover!!

That is really cool! I retro-fitted an Android Auto/Carplay stereo in my LR3 (Disco 3). Not as nice as that system! Mine is not wireless, and the screen is not a nice as that system! Great find!

Hello Peter, another very good Video. I find it ideal for cars without an entertainment system and i would put it in my kids 1er BMW (2008) then they would have a very nice system in their car. Best greetings to Austria Andre

Hi Peter, thanks for sharing this other option with us. It looks very good and solves especially our problem: As I commented in another video of yours we have the very basic infotainment without any connectivity, so a lot of carplay options don't work for us. This should solve it and we would be happy to win it for our car. Btw. we start our roadtrip from hamburg via Austria to Slovenia and will drive some of your recorded trails in the dolomites which I randomly found on wikiloc! Really looking forward to the trip that could be even more awesome with new carplay ;D

This is great! I have been looking for a system that i can put on my LR4 2011. I would love to have this as it would fit in and cater to my needs without much dismantling and assembling. Can I have it?

Thanks for the video that is really cool 😎 I would have it for an LR4 and have android auto on it.

I want to use this system in my Mini Cooper S JCW Cabrio from 2006, since it's missing satnav, spotify and handsfree options. This device will relief my stress on the road!

Can you Bluetooth out of Carpuride to the cars Bluetooth to play the sound to the truck ?

In my opinion, Land Rover lagged behind the other brands in terms of entertainment and the head unit until 2016. Only with the Discovery Sport and the Discovery 5 did things start to look up, in my opinion. But there is the possibility to improve it at least a little ;) Many greetings, Peter

I agree, definitely behind the curve. My D4 is Sept 2016 and still doesn’t have as modern head unit as much lower cost vehicles from the same period such as Ford Fiesta and Kia Ceed. Upgrading to integrated CarPlay comes at a high price and requires dash out, so alternatives like this unit has got to be a good alternative. There are some with dual Bluetooth so they can connect to car aux over the air for higher quality and also to the phone.

Thanks for the review! Following you from down under in New Zealand. Moved here from Austria - so if I am lucky enough to win, also have an austrian address… I also own a Disco4 and would love to update it with the system, as particularly the navigation is quite outdated in the original version. Tried out a similar built in system like the one you installed in your car, but my Disco automatically jumps back to the car’s main menu after 2-3 minutes in the ‘Nav’-carplay module and i have not found any remedy for this. So this external solution would avoid these interruptions. beste gruesse, Oliver

Hey Peter. Your video has convinced me to try this unit out. I cannot get it to play through my LR4 speakers, though. It seems that when I have Android Auto selected it will only audio out to the Carpuride unit speaker. Even with your hack of pressing the audio off/on button on the dash, it pauses the unit music and then starts right back up without ever playing through the car speakers. Any thoughts?

Hey! The difference, at least what I have experienced in various forums and articles, is that the cheaper devices have a similar or even partly the same hardware equipment, but the software unfortunately very often does not work properly. Here there are disconnections, repeated crashes of the entire system to a complete failure of the screen. There are also a few that work, but unfortunately, "You get what you pay for" often applies here as well. Many greetings, Peter

Hi Peter, Great video and I have a Discovery HSE 2012 since new, I have been looking for an easy solution for having CarPlay as my maps are so out of date on the car nav. So put me on your list for your give away. I still like the idea of having a system installed as I like things tidy so using the existing screen is best I think and having access the flip between systems is a good function. Does the supplier offer software updates to fix bugs and add functionality to the integrated system ?

Hi Ron! On the Carpuride system I have not noticed an update button. But I can ask my contact at Carpuride if and how you can make an update on these systems. With the modules of ISUDAR, so the fixed installed there are or were firmware updates which could be installed. However, some users had problems with the connections to your cell phones afterwards.

Hey sure, I'll give it a try 😉 1. Connect the iPhone / Android smartphone to the Bluetooth system of the Discovery 4 / LR4. 2. connect to the CarPlay / Android Auto module or screen via Bluetooth or cable. 3. play a song in the CarPlay / Android Auto interface, e.g. from Spotify. 4. intermediate step (not always necessary) If the song is playing but no sound is coming from the car's system, pause the playback by pressing the car's "power button" and then continue by pressing it again. Now you should hear the sound. 5, All done and you should now be able to control everything from the steering wheel. I hope I was able to help! Maybe I'll make a video about it, I'm sure it would help some people. Many greetings, Peter
