Does anyone know what Navtool actually does?
They weren't super forthcoming in email, so maybe someone here knows.
I would like a device that basically gives me 2016 Carplay in the 2015. I'd like to use my phone maps, nav, and so on, and have the touch interface work too (as if I'm using the phone on the main screen).
I'd also like to get one for a 2010 Range Rover, more importantly!
Is this what the Navtool product does? Or does it just allow you to display a DVD or Camera input? That's not useful to me, but if it somehow manages the touch interface input too, that's awesome.
So it's useless or awesome (to me), I just don't know which!

It will not: and have the touch interface work too (as if I'm using the phone on the main screen).
The touch screen is not able to send feedback to the phone. You still have to the touch screen on the phone to control apps.

You could do this, which replaces the hardware unit in the drivers side area......
