Hi
Many thanks for accepting me into the forum, I've just taken delivery of a T4 recharge yesterday and think I have dropped a big one here, as I didn't order it with any Apple CarPlay, as I thought it came as standard on the R-Design, Poo....
Now I know you can get it retrofitted for £300, which is what my Stealership is quoting.
Is it possible to upgrade yourself, ie buy the additional items and fit, then I guess get the local dealer to code it in?
Does anyone have a parts list?
Any help or guidance greatly appreciated.
Thanks James
Thanks for accepting me into the forum & No Apple CarPlay!!

Hi
I ordered my car without CarPlay to get around the tax (£40k). It was fitted at the dealership. CarPlay needs an extra data USB port to be installed. This involves removal of one of the front seats to access the connection box and a replacement panel be fitted. Do yourself a favour and pay the £300. Check the link to see how involved it is.

Easy? The 63 steps looked a bit of a chore. But I suppose if you have some heat shrink and the tools for removing trims and stuff I’m sure it will be fine
