Hi all,

So, Land Rover just released an update for the InControl apps for iPhone (version 2.7.0).
Update description:
"iOS 11 connectivity improvements and other enhancements"

Personally, I haven't been able to successfully connect my Velar to my iPhone using inControl, so, hopefully this will fix it. I will update the thread tomorrow after trying.

about Apple ... I think I've read that the Velar multimedia system will be updated with Carplay ... confirmed?

Where did you hear this? I asked my dealer and they said they was no imminent update for CarPlay.

Just erase your old incontrol Apps from Iphone to be able to get the new one, if like me the new release can not be installed ...

Update: Still can't connect to InControl Apps. Oh, well.

Regarding Apple CarPlay, a member of the forum (I can't recall who exactly) called customer service and they told him that support will should come soon for Apple Carplay, but probably not for existing vehicles. (Oh, well x2).

Totally gave up on ICTP. Little support for apps that are any use the ones that are in place work if the wind is blowing in the right direction and when they do work sluggish and unstable.

CarPlay would be nice but just can't see if happening anytime soon.

Would be nice of course but who knows

My build sheet says LESS Android Auto - so not included but looks like they are thinking about it

It was me. I contacted customer service directly and they said Apple CarPlay is in works. The department in charge gave the information that the timeframe wasn't available yet and they didn't know if it will be updated for legacy cars. To me it sounded like a no.
BTW i also asked if the assistant functionalities could be updated to enhance the autonomous driving. The answer was no they can not.

Software is becoming the key function for any device and will be more in the future. A car is no exception. All manufacturers who won't be able to compete in this game will fall behind. The day where they sell a car and that's it for ever are long gone. OTA updates are mandatory and the system needs to handle it fail save.
