Morning all,
I'm after a bit of help!!! I have recently purchased a 2017 Ftype....and im loving it! It didnt have apple carplay so i bought one of the dongles that can retrofit it. However, I'm failing at step one, which is asking me to install APK. I've downloaded the installer onto a USB dongle and plugged it into the car, but I cant work out how you then install? Any help would be massively apporeciated.
Thanks

Nick

I thought APK was for Android installation.

Really curious to know what you have bought and how it will give you CarPlay. I have a 2017 model and have UAD device for CarPlay.
Just curious as to what system you are trying to install.

As said, exactly what did you buy and are you trying to install? As far as I know you can't add carplay to the system of a 17 car with a mere software update through USB. Unless there's something new magical out there, you have to add hardware to the car like the UAD kit to get carplay.
