I’ve Googled it, but prefer recommendations

I’ve got a MY2017 which I’d like to have CarPlay on.

I don’t want to upgrade to the larger screen

Any suggestions much appreciated

Find an installer that can fit an adapter - IDCore is one of the better brands. Beware of cheap/dangerous Chinese android powered CarPlay units on eBay, Etsy & alibaba - they’re cheap but complete rubbish (believe me, I know!)..

The IDCore adapter is very reliable, runs wireless CarPlay and uses all existing buttons and touchscreen- I had this in my f-type (now sold).

Edited - Scrap that, though you were just looking for a wireless adapter.

This is the one that got the best reviews when I was looking, but version 2.0 is due out very soon so holding off.

Might be worth contacting these guys. I now have factory fit apple carplay through a software update. My car was a 2017 Range Rover but the tech will be the same or similar I would imagine.
