About Jaguar Land Rover Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Jaguar Land Rover today announced both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ functionality. They added them as standard equipment on the 2019 Jaguar I-PACE. They also offer them as an option on select 2019 model year vehicles. These vehicles must have the InControl Touch Pro™ and Touch Pro Duo™ infotainment systems.

Drivers can now interact with key mobile apps, such as Spotify, WhatsApp, and Waze through the vehicle’s touchscreen. With the release of iOS12, this works in a manner similar to a smartphone. Where equipped, certain functionality can even be controlled via the vehicle’s Voice Control. This provides additional convenience.

Owners simply connect their smartphone to the vehicle via a compatible USB cable. Then they select Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ on the vehicle’s touchscreen. Visit Apple.com and Android.com for the current list of devices and apps which share system compatibility.

The smartphone pack includes Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. It is standard on all Jaguar I-PACE models from launch. Additionally, from the 2019 model year forward, all vehicles equipped with the Jaguar and Land Rover InControl Touch Pro™ or Touch Pro Duo™ infotainment systems with navigation, InControl® Apps™, and Wi-Fi connectivity will be available with the optional Smartphone Pack.

Depending on the model, the Smartphone Pack will be either a port- or factory-installed option for around $300, depending on model trim level. In addition to the new Smartphone Pack, Jaguar and Land Rover have made a number of other key enhancements to the InControl Touch Pro™ infotainment system for the 2019 model year, including:

• Voice command for Navigation functionality introduced for select models;
• Major graphical refresh on the “Home,” “Extra Features” and “Customisable Homepage” screens;
• Minor user experience changes to the button and icon placement on “Media Screen”;
• Additional shortcut buttons on the home screen for key functions within Navigation, Media, and Phone.

InControl Touch Pro™

Jaguar Land Rover designed and developed InControl Touch Pro™ in-house around a quad-core processor, a high-speed 60GB solid-state drive (SSD), and an ultra-fast Ethernet network. It represented a step change for Jaguar Land Rover infotainment technology when it was first introduced with the 2016 model year.

The Jaguar InControl® Touch Pro™ infotainment system features a 10-inch touchscreen. As a tablet, there are no buttons. All controls are integrated into the bottom section of the touchscreen. This makes interaction smooth and seamless.

Users can customize the home screen and add widgets. They can even add additional home screens if they wish. Jaguar Land Rover designed InControl Touch Pro™ to make every journey easier and more enjoyable.

Navigation data stored on the high-speed SSD can be accessed in a fraction of the time required with conventional hard drive technology. Users can zoom in and out of maps using ‘pinch’ and ‘pan’ gestures.

Even when there’s no GPS signal, the system can still help drivers stay on track with dead-reckoning functionality. This analyses data from the vehicle’s sensors to accurately predict the vehicle’s location.

The use of a data connection to access location-based features adds another dimension to the system’s capability. Search for a destination and the system will check if there’s sufficient fuel or battery range to complete the journey.

If not, this will be flagged and available filling/charging stations on the route that are within range are shown on the map. Tapping on one of them is all it takes to add it as a waypoint.

When active, the data connection also allows for a number of other features to be activated. With InControl Touch Pro™, it’s possible to share destination, current location, and estimated time of arrival (ETA) with others via email or text message when using the vehicle’s onboard navigation system.

When caught in traffic, the system can automatically follow up with an ETA update. Commute Mode learns an owner’s daily drive so that it can offer alternative routes to avoid congestion using historical and real-time traffic information.

Approach Mode adds a 360-deg interactive view of your destination alongside the map display when you’re approximately 656-ft (200m away). It can even show you where the nearest available parking lots are and then direct you to them.

InControl Touch Pro Duo™

Touch Pro Duo™ first debuted on the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar. It is now available as standard equipment on the 2019 Jaguar I-PACE, Land Rover Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport.

Touch Pro Duo™ takes the best hardware and UX characteristics of InControl Touch Pro™ and builds on them. This makes interaction less distracting and even more user friendly.

Dual upper and lower touchscreens form the center piece of the new minimalist HMI. This HMI controls the infotainment, HVAC, and a number of other system settings.

Fast and intuitive, Touch Pro Duo™ combines finely engineered physical controls and a beautiful digital interface. This delivers a truly connected driving experience.

The system looks simultaneously futuristic and elegant thanks to the interlinked upper and lower touchscreens. They provide clear graphics and ease of operation with familiar tap, swipe, and pinch-to-zoom control gestures on the upper screen.

The customisable home screen also allows customers to create shortcuts to preferred features. The Touch Pro Duo™ system allows drivers to keep mapping information displayed on the upper touchscreen. At the same time, it provides easy access to further features such as HVAC control, seat settings, music information, and drive mode selection on the secondary lower display.

By dividing information and controls logically between the two screens, Touch Pro Duo™ achieves an even more intuitive user experience. Positioned on either side of the lower screen are two rotary dials. Drivers can use these to control the cabin temperature, fan speed, seat climate, and massage functions.

They can also use these dials to manage media and phone functionality via specialist widgets when the upper screen is in use. Behind the steering wheel, a high-resolution Interactive Driver Display includes customisable dual dial, single dial, and extended mode views.

Drivers can also manage other frequently used features – including phone, navigation, and media settings – using this cluster.
