Have had my new Evoque for a few days now and noticed quite a few changes / improvements so far:
Reverse Camera
1. The reverse camera comes on almost instantly when I select R.
2. The colour seems better on the reverse camera - probably a hardware upgrade but could be software too.
3. The reverse camera is now listed under "Extra Features" next to Ambient lighting and can be switched on while driving forward now!
4. While viewing the reverse cam there is now a "backup" button to take you to the menu.

Parking sensors
1. When in drive if I push the P button to switch on the front parking sensors there is a display on the central screen showing the car and the parking sensor levels.

iPhone bluetooth and cable issue FIXED!
1. On my previous MY12 car if I plugged in my iphone to play music and was also connected to bluetooth audio the music would play for a few seconds then cut out. This was caused by the bluetooth audio over-riding the "accessory" cable. This issue was acknowledged by LR and I was told they had to wait for Apple to fix it which Apple haven't. HOWEVER, in the MY13 car when I plug my iphone in I get a pop up window saying something along the lines of "An Apple device has been plugged in so Bluetooth Audio is being disabled." Lo and behold the accessory cable then works!!!
Not sure if there are hardware changes or just software but if they are software then I don't see why LR aren't offering these to everyone as they are BIG improvements in my book.
I'm sure there's more so I'll add to this post as I come across them.
