Hi Faith,
I too am in the same position as you and would like to implement some of @Onotole's incredible work.
My vehicle is a 2017 F-Pace with ICTP (10" display and digital cockpit) with the low line UIP in the centre console (2 USBs only, no HDMI or SIM). Currently, the car is running the S21B_21.37.2-778242 software - which I updated myself as it is capable of SOTA.
Two dealerships have told me it's not possible to get Carplay or Android Auto, both have referenced the UIP in saying so.
My questions are:
1) Is it possible for me to upgrade the UIP myself? (I can see them on ebay)
2) Is this all that is required in terms of hardware to run AA or ACA?
3) What is required in terms of software/coding?
I'm also interested in activating the other features of my car which are not currently activated. I have the stereo cameras (as above in Faith's post) etc.
Any guidance/assistance is appreciated.
