I am a proud owner of the f-type 400p convertible.
Is there any way to upgrade this model with apple car play, now or in the near future?
Thanks in advance for any advise.

There is a recent software version (19B) which includes car play and a few other things including over the air updates.
You need to speak to your dealer to get it installed.

I spoke to my local Jaguar dealer today about the possibility of upgrading my car to Apple Car Play and was told apparently it’s possible to upgrade my old software for Apple Car Play, however it’s easier if the car has the three box menu instead of four.

I was told if it’s four which my model year has then there is a chance the update can crash the system and if it doesn’t reboot it results in a new motherboard for the screen which is a lot of money.

Not sure if this information is correct but just reporting what they said,

Personally I’m not going to risk it if that’s the case...

Are you saying that apple car play is now possible with the 8 inch monitor with physical buttons.

I understood previously that it was only possible on an 11 inch monitor with soft buttons.

Mine is a MY18 so 8 inch monitor. I would really like Spple Car Play if possible

All I can say is my Jaguar dealer told me it was possible on mine but with the risk it might not work and as I said could mean a new motherboard at my cost if it doesn’t boot up again,

Even if it does work I’m thinking it might invalidate the extra years warranty I just paid for so I’m not risking it.

Yours is MY18 mine is MY16 so you might stand a better chance,

Please ask your dealer, it would be interesting to see if the advice is the same,

Kind regards,
