Could you do a more in-depth video showing the installed apps, also can more apps be installed. Can you show if it has SD card slot and any other slots or connections on the outside. Please
Hi Colin. I’ll be doing an in depth unboxing and overview shortly. It will display any apps that are installed on your phone that are either CarPlay compatible or Android Auto compatible. It is a Linux based unit rather than an Android based operating system so it doesn’t behave like those. It’s more like the system you’d expect in your car with the addition of a screen mirroring function. There is a micro SD slot but I’m not sure what it’s function is yet. There is also an av in for a reverse camera and a usb for charging. There’s also a built in speaker and microphone. Hope this helps. Ed
Yes of course but the whole point of the unit is easy install. This takes away the hassle. Maybe hide an extension would be an option. One car maybe, but we’ve 14 at the moment. 😜👍 Ed
Hi Adam. You pair with the car and your Bluetooth aux as normal. Pair the CarPlay unit and in Bluetooth settings select the aux Bluetooth as your sound source. The display will be CarPlay but your audio will come from the phone to your aux Bluetooth. The wheel buttons should still work ok. (I use an Invery Bluetooth) The only thing you lose by doing it this way is the navigation audio through Bluetooth for some reason. The nav audio plays through screen speakers. If you tune your radio to it then you still get stereo audio AND the directions as well. Go figure? Ed
Also can it work with any car with aux Bluetooth? And is the land rover logo optional? Or later can be changed if this was used in another car. Thank you
Already answered some to your other comment but there’s 76 custom startup logos to choose from. You need to go to factory settings via the code ‘123456’ and choose a different one. Ed
Hi. Just bought the unit from your website off the back of your video together with the in-very set up. When using Waze as Nav. I don’t get the voice guidance to work. When just using the I -phone alone, Waze seems to work perfectly fine. Is there something I am doing wrong? Also when paired to the phone the pairing soon disconnects but the in-very works just fine. Also how can I configure the Landrover display at startup. Thank you ADE
Hi. It’s one of quirks it seems when using the Bluetooth that you lose the nav voice for some reason in default mode. If you go into WAZE, settings, voice & sound, then change ‘play sound via’. Change it to ‘ play on phone speaker’ that way at least you’ll get the spoken directions. It all works fine using the radio feature though. It might be that it’s just using the Bluetooth for three different sources. Phone and 2x streaming. Sorry I can’t be more help. Ed
The guides are fixed as that would require an OBD input for the steering angle sensor. It’s currently available from my website. Last few left. Ed www.backroadhero.com/shop/
Yes Martin. Do you have any upgrades already? Existing Bluetooth or even an aux in. I’m unfamiliar with the A8. Ed www.backroadhero.com/product/universal-carplay-android-auto/
@@Back_Road_Hero it has blue tooth the auk is trough a MMI condition that can be a pain , very interested in this unit. And I would say alot of a8 owners would be .
@@Tec2Nut Is the Bluetooth for music as well as phone? The aux out on the unit is a standard 3.5mm stereo lead. Would that work. Currently I’m offering discounts but if it’s not what you expected then I’ll happily accept a return provided it’s all in original packaging without the protection removed. Ed
Do you have to unplug it each time you turn the car off or does the power to the aux/lighter socket/invery(if used) switch off when you leave the car ?

Hello. I see this is showing out of stock. Will it be in stock any time soon?
Hi. I only bought a few extras when I got mine. I won’t be getting a more in stock. Sorry.
It's out of stock now. Will it come back again or is it out for good?
Now replaced with updated unit here: www.backroadhero.com/product/reverse-camera-brh2-universal-portable-wireless-carplay-android-auto/
Will it fit a 2003 range rover hse
Be good to hide the power cable and tap into fuse box

Hi will this work with Range Rover l322 2003? I have a upgraded aux which is connected via Bluetooth? Thank you

Hi Adam how do you upgrade your Aux please
Hi Ed. Do you know how to keep the time and date each time after restart?
I believe it synchronises with your phone automatically.
@@Back_Road_Hero I meant the time on the main screen :D

Do you know if there is a wireless camera option for this unit?
Do the parking guides rotate when the wheel is turned like the stock camera?

Love this. Can you mail to Virginia USA. I have a 2011 L322 Superc
I’ll have to look into shipping and you’d be liable for any import duties as well. Please email me at vroom@backroadhero.com so I’ve a record. Ed
Can this be done on 2007 Range Rover ?
Of course. Do you have an aux in? If not you can use the FM transmission built in. The unit has a built in microphone. Ed
Thank you for the help Ed , let's get it done !
Do you think it will work with the audi D4 A8 ?
Yes Martin. Do you have any upgrades already? Existing Bluetooth or even an aux in. I’m unfamiliar with the A8. Ed

Hi can you tell me if this would work in a 2008 model please
All it needs is either the 3.5mm aux in or a working FM radio to tune in the signal from the unit.
@@Back_Road_Hero thanks for the information 👍
Does this also work with android phones please
hi, if you are Bicester based can I ask you who is your LR specialist? I live in MK and I am looking for recommendation. Thanks mate

Does this unit have dab or dab+ installed
No but you can use a radio app, or the original radio fitted in the vehicle.
