I spoke to these guys for a while, they seem to be OK:

For me, sat nav would be the biggest benefit.

The satnav of the Range Rover is very primitive - even with the monthly updates from Here... CarPlay offers Waze, Google Maps or almost any other navigation software you like, with REAL TIME warnings, updates, alternative routes, etc. Also music, messaging, phone, etc. |

Unfortunately even the JLR Apple CarPlay implementation does not offer dashboard integration... Only center screen... However, switching from car sat nav to CarPlay and viceversa is one touch away. |

I'll explain why I want to be able to use either the factory navigation or navigation via CarPlay. It depends on the situation:

Makes sense I guess - the icons are nice and large.

I do agree with you. Relying on a phone signal is too risky - even more so for you in the States, I know. I drove across Montana and Wyoming last year and a phone signal is non-existent because so few places have it! |

Exactly. Using navigation that relies on the internet would be impossible in these situations, it's not just about preference. If I were to touch my phone while driving that would be illegal for me where I live. Even clicking a "next song" button. So it's not only about convenience it's also about things being impossible or illegal. |

Hi, did you read my original post? I have seen that product, and correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that product: - Take longer to start than OEM? If I start the car and put it in reverse how many seconds until I see the backup camera image on the screen? - Show an Android logo? - Show an Android menu when clicking home? These are some of the issues I have with the product. I want it to feel as OEM and transparent as possible without any new downsides. Only adding CarPlay not taking anything away. |

That page says:
I would personally want to preserve the original navigation. |

Actually it shows in the movie that the nav button is used to summon the CarPlay interface. |
