RRS IdCore CarPlay arrived

After following a few threads and having a rental last week with CarPlay, I bit the bullet. By all accounts it looks to be a simple install and with the sunny weather will give it a go on Saturday.

I bought the same unit a couple of months ago and fitted it myself in just over an hour.
Works a treat and really pleased with it.
The only thing I would make you aware of is they sent me the wrong installation instructions, so following them, I not only removed the main head unit but also the air conditioning controls below (right pain in the arse!).
Turns out, I didn't need to touch the air conditioning controls.
Hope that helps, everything's plug and play, really easy. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Indeed the install took an hour but my fussy nature wrapping wires and being very tidy it was an 1hr45m. The interface box ended up in the glovebox, there no way it would fit in the kick panel. The 3.5mm aux cable they sent was too short and should be a 90 degree, I’ll sort this out today. Otherwise very pleased and only one very small nick on my hand. Man it’s sharp in there!!! 2018 Telsa MS

How did you get access to the torx bolts holding in the air vents and screen without removing the HVAC panel?

Mine was on a 2016, which had the original touch screen (with the menu buttons on the left and right sides, not at the bottom). This meant that all I needed to do was pull off the centre dash panel (around the screen to passenger side) and undo the left hand button module (2 screws), the right hand button module (2 screws) and then move the button modules out the way so I could then access the 4 screws holding the screen in.

Not sure if it's the same on other models. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue

Ive been after one of these for a while, but I can only find them at over £500? All other models seem to have them for £200-£300 am I missing something, or is the bosch 7" a nightmare?
I was tempted by the tesla style but in all honesty, I think its a bit overkill and I really like the original look, and functions where the tesla style needs new camera installed and such.

That seems to be the going price for the IdCore unit, honestly it was a breeze to install and works a dream. Wireless CarPlay connection, works every time. 2018 Telsa MS

Hi there, what is your audio system, the Denso or the Bosh one ? I have the Denso system and haven't found a plug and play system...
Is this this model ? :

Thank you in advance for your response

A lad on facebook called Lee Yates will know, he runs a page called UK LIGHT MODIFICATIONS.

Perhaps a wee scroll through would help? If you cant find anything he will 100% know.

Thanks for the offer, but I am off work long term at the minute. Trying to keep costs down unfortunately.
