While the world awaits next-gen CarPlay, Land Rover has made a retrofit CarPlay solution for Range Rovers from a previous decade. With the exception of wireless support, the CarPlay hardware appears to be pretty basic, and that’s the point. Land Rover recently announced an official CarPlay and Android Auto infotainment system upgrade for the third-generation Range Rovers. This covers the 2010, 2011, and 2012 model SUVs. OEM CarPlay didn’t appear in new cars sold until the 2015 model vehicles. Land Rover emphasizes that its official retrofit solution is intentionally made to add CarPlay to the infotainment experience without changing anything else. Owners will be able to enjoy wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration with the original touchscreen, effortlessly blending period‑correct hardware with the latest technology features. The wireless upgrade retains all the existing functionalities ‑ including the superb sound quality of the original audio system – while adding features such as music and podcast streaming services and modern connected navigation apps on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Joining the already extensive range of Classic Genuine Parts, the new infotainment system uses the original screen, ensuring upgraded models retain a factory‑fresh, OEM appearance – with bespoke fixtures and fittings engineered by Land Rover Classic.  Available for Range Rover models manufactured between 2010 and 2012, the experts at Land Rover Classic have designed the new system to be fully compatible with all stereo specifications available on the original vehicle. Classic engineers have also worked hard to ensure clients can seamlessly transfer between the legacy user interface and the new Apple and Android functions. While the OEM upgrade is only offered in the UK and Germany, it shows just how much drivers care about CarPlay in 2025. There are more advanced retrofit CarPlay solutions for Range Rover models going back 20 years, but collectors will value the “period-correct hardware” solution.
