720s Carplay upgrade?

[MMarkM]

Anyone know if there is an after market carplay solution for the 720s?

McLaren OEM retrofit apparently coming this year.

Have you any other details? Android Auto too or just CarPlay? It would be great but I’ll not hold my breath.
Cheers.

Is this just 720 or is it coming to the sports series too?

No further info. Someone I know works in a Retailer, they told me it was coming, but only CarPlay.

I believe any car with Iris 2. So 570 onwards.

I picked up a 750S a few days before Christmas which has the Apple thing and was told there are no plans to implement Android Auto.

Yeah, I’m not counting on it, just hopeful.
Congrats on the 750s, I read your thread when you collected it. Beautiful colour. Enjoy!

Not 650S from what I’ve been told, sorry.

Someone said Iris2 above. however I must admit the lack of a modern/carplay setup is part of the appeal.

there is a company offering it

Has anyone tried the 650s CarPlay kit from Supercar expert? Looks pretty decent.

Looks like they do everything except 720s! Asked them for an update when it is available

And how bizzare not to add android auto if youve gone to the trouble of developing such a system, its only some added software to what they have already made..........

Licensing issue?

Thanks mate, car is all good so far although I haven't been using it much.

The Android Auto thing is frustrating, as Streetbeat said the car already has Carplay so it doesn't seem a big leap to AA.
My gut tells me it isn't going to happen though.

Seems a good way to cut your market down by half, but maybe its a licensing thing.
