Hello all.

After a 16 month hiatus with a BMW, I’m back to owning a RR. And looking for some help please.

I’ve purchased a 2014 L405 Autobiography, it’s got the climate unit upgrade along with the steering wheel buttons.

The head unit appears to be standard, but I’m not sure.

The dealer didn’t know if it had Apple CarPlay / Android Auto installed, and when I look at videos/guides they all appear to access the Apple CarPlay menus by pressing different options in the original screen.

I was wondering if anyone may know how to access the Apple CarPlay menus please (if it even has them?)


Thank you

Tom

On a 2014 it wouldn't have been standard. Easiest way to tell if it's been upgraded is to press the NAV button. If the original RR sat nav comes up, it hasn't got an upgrade.

AFAIK CarPlay wasn’t standard until MY2017. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Thank you Mmarks and Gremlin.

I was thinking/hoping if it had the climate and steering control upgrade they would have done Apple CarPlay also, but it would appear not.

I’ll make another post asking for installer recommendations.

Thank you again.

I did the upgrade on my 2014, cost just over £100 from AliExpress. Works great. Everything is exactly as it was before except the nav button now starts carplay/android auto. Fitted it myself, it took a couple of hours as I'd never done it before but was very simple.
