Possible retro-fit of Apple CarPlay available?

I'm not taken to buying copies of the Land Rover Owner Internation/Monthly/Enthusiast type specialist LR magazines but with a long and boring flight to look forward to recently I picked a copy of LRM at the airport. In the ads there is one for a company called "UrbanTruck" (yes another Kahn/Overfinch bespoke builder of Defenders) and in their advert on page 73 there is a small window that states "call us for details on Apple CarPlay" - well I couldn't call them from where I was so I looked at their website when I had internet access and there is no mention of it there http://www.urban-truck.com but if any body is interested in inquiring about what they can do to upgrade to it then their phone number is 01908 366788

I also looked at their "New Cars for sale " section.................. now a Zanzibar Defender 90 Special Edition would look very nice on my drive sitting in front of my Zanzibar Evoque! Rather than pay £49k for a new Defender fettled by them I wonder how much a conversion of my existing 90 would cost!

Gave Urbantruck a ring. Nice chap said they only dealt with Defenders, and couldn't see them getting involved with Evoques.

Thanks for calling them - I'm sure that if there was demand from Evoque owners they would soon create a "revenue stream" from fitting it!
I have had a reply from them too about the Zanzibar Special Edition Defender - basically you supply any Defender you like and they rebuild it to what you want (for a price) I doo like their flush glazed "panoramic" windows that replace the sliding ones I have on the rear of my 90, with a contrast roof, full limo tint side windowds that extend from the B pillar round the rear coners to the back door that is also finished with flush glazed limo glass I could have my Defender looking like the Evoque's contrast roof and privacy glazing! Once I I ahve time I will post a link to the Zanzibar Defender that they have sent me.

If I understood anything you wrote about your Defender plans, then I'm sure I'd be really impressed.
