I have been following this thread for some time, having bought my Evoque in March of this year.
What I would be looking to achieve would be outputting my iphone to the evoque screen, and being able to operate the phone from the evoque screen, ideally without having to plug the phone into the car.
As far as I can see, the Kivic would just output my iphone display to the evoque screen in a similar fashion to an Apple TV outputting my phone to the TV screen in my living room. I would not be able to operate the phone from the evoque screen. There would however be no need to physically connect the phone to the Kivic.
The Mimic device (http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MimicsModule)
would enable the evoque screen to operate as a touch screen to control my iphone, but there has to be a physical cable connection from the phone to the mimic device, which is messy.
If I was wanting to use the TomTom app on my phone, I would also have to put the phone somewhere it is going to get a good gps reception, which means a lot of messy cabling.
It looks like at present I will just have to wait to replace my car in 3 or 4 years time, when the in car screen will presumably then support ios7+ and its in car features!
Unless someone has some better suggestion?

as far as gps is concerned, my iPhone finds gps with the phone between my laps even in the centre console cup holder of my previous audi.
so i don't think there should be a problem with that.
i am only purchasing the kivic one so i could stream youtube videos off my iPad mini for the kids to enjoy and movies.
but i do agree with you. it would be amazing if you could use the touch screen to navigate the phone

Well.......!
Got the Kivic today.
Won't output av to screen.
Have to put the sound through the aux in and it all picks up the engine and hums like a bee hive on low volume.
Waste of £200.

When I spoke to kivic. They said you can put sound without the aux. ???

Bit confused and glum over this.
Have put it all back in the box for now. Will look again tomorrow.
