Yes, but i think that it just necessary to update the software to get works in the currents RRE. I think that is not necessary to change any component of hardware and hope that in the future LR it could release this update. It's very important for me. The nav of LR is very poor and doesn't work fine.

Oh yes but Its possible the existing hardware is likely not powerful enough for Car Play.

I wouldn't hold your breath on ever getting an update to the existing systems as they have just finished implementing the InControl apps which do something similar in concept if not in execution.

Also, the existing software is light years behind marquees like BMW maybe they will take this as an opportunity to refresh the entire system including the hardware.

Hopefully all the LR surveys that get posted here by various departments researching customer views on technology might lead to something slicker and less clunky (read old tech) and a bit ahead of the game. While I don't want every vehicle on the road to have the same software I must admit that LR has sat on its laurels with regards to in car iT.
I have had no issues with what we get apart from it being slow - but then I work for a company that is at the forefront of the maritime world yet ships built this year have computer networks running on Windows 2000 and pre-Vista systems for no other reason that they know that they work and are stable in the marine environment, later versions of windows software are "not proven" so why risk a disaster when you have kit that works? I suspect that it is much the same at LR, it works off-road so why change?

The last thing I want in any car is the ability to surf the net while driving - driving requires your full attention and we have seen some terrible accidents a s a result of people using mobile phones or texting while driving - web access in my view is a step too far - a car is for driving, leave the web browsing at home for the evenings.

I would just like better ipod integration, such as the ability to use google maps (which let's face it is just about all you could ever want from a GPS) and the ability to display album artwork on the 'now playing' screen (because it's pretty, mainly).
