Ah - got it - so you can have Waze on the main display, but you lose the pop up bit on the instrument cluster

I can see why you'd miss that

although the drivers dash pop up is handy ,i think most still look at the center console screen for directions..

watching this thread with great interest  ... - .- -.

Stan , I've been on this board for a few years now and several FFRRs and your knowledge has always been first class , I think this is the first time you've been wrong  2015 4.4 AB

I'm interested in this unit too.
I just don't see the pop up display as any great loss, all it seems to do is countdown to the next junction and uses a very basic map from what looks like my Spectrum ZX81 from the eighties!!
I've only used the built in nav once or twice too see if it was any good, I now use Waze on my phone.

Looks a great upgrade for £500. But as mentioned, then you've gotta fit it. Waay above my patience level. I'm of the thought if it looks complicated get a bigger hammer

am i correct in assuming that your smartphone has to be connected to get the carplay/android auto on the FF screen.... ... - .- -.

It looks as though you can connect wirelessly, which would be a real plus!

Yes Stan , it mirrors your smart phone screen onto the main display. Gives you the option of email , messages , etc plus any sat nav app you wish to use and as Gibbo37 says its wireless . I used there massaging service on the site and they were very quick to answer. 2015 4.4 AB

If you can use ACP wirelessly on an after-market unit why the hell can't you use it wirelessly on the generic LR ACP???  All LR cars from 1984

if i'm going to be dropping that kind of money already I may as well get the Android widescreen touchscreen Ray is selling. Really pays off when viewing a movie or the like.

This units benefits seem to be , cost , ability to switch between android and standard with no loss of any standard features except nav , retains dual view , no dimming of lights on temp switches and ease of fitting and the ability to remove it if you sell your car and move it to the next one. Does the full replacement head unit have wireless connection? The cheaper uk offering does.

I'm not saying which is better , these are just my observations as someone who has followed the threads but has never used either.

Happy to be corrected on any of my observations. 2015 4.4 AB
