JLR makes a phone dock that fits in the smaller of the two cup holders, but I’m not sure if it is simply a holder otr if it is powered...Since I'm getting more and more used to using Car Play on every trip in this thing, I'm thinking it might be interesting to just create an actual dock so that when you put the phone down it just plugs in automatically. It seems like this could be done by modifying the bottom of the cup holder with the space available. Did anyone think of this?
Unfortunately, that doesn’t work if one wants to use CarPlayI actually placed one of my wireless chargers (small flat square type) in between the space below the lower Touch Pro Duo screen...it's at slant down but because the wireless charger has rubber edging, my iPhone stays right in place.

Picture please?I actually placed one of my wireless chargers (small flat square type) in between the space below the lower Touch Pro Duo screen...it's at slant down but because the wireless charger has rubber edging, my iPhone stays right in place.![]()
Nope unless you have your phone plugged into the USB port directly inside the armrest pocket. I hardly ever use the Apple CarPlay...waiting until they can do it wirelessly. But, at least my iPhone is always charged up with the wireless charger. :grin2:Unfortunately, that doesn’t work if one wants to use CarPlay
With the phone sitting between the cup holders in that slot, the phone is low inside the car. Do you get any lag in GPS signal when using Apple, Google, or Waze maps? I seem to get some lag with the phone plugged into the console USB and the phone physically sitting at about cup level. Haven't really determined if the problem is GPS or with the Cell signal. Perhaps I hit a dead cell zone from time to time that causes a lag. What is your experience?My car came with the iPhone charger for the small cup holder. It slides into the cup holder and Jaguar made a hole underneath and a charging cable runs through it into a usb charger. It’s all held together with a sticky pad at the bottom.
My phone was too big so I removed the Iphone set up and put a a standard cable through the hole from the usb charger and I connect it directly into the phone which now sits between the two cup holders.
I find that using carplay is hit and miss generally but yes the signal can be poor which is frustrating. I don’t know if this is unique to the iPace though.With the phone sitting between the cup holders in that slot, the phone is low inside the car.

How did you manage to pass the USB cable through the hole (the USB terminal end)?My phone was too big so I removed the Iphone set up and put a a standard cable through the hole from the usb charger and I connect it directly into the phone which now sits between the two cup holders.
How did you manage to pass the USB cable through the hole (the USB terminal end)?I bought and fitted this:
Jaguar I-PACE & E-PACE and Landrover Discovery Centre - Etsy UK
These 3 parts are to hold the Samsung USB-C cable plug in the correct position in the base of the Jaguar I-PACE & E-PACE and the Landrover Discovery centre cupholders. Two parts locate and grip the plug and the third part is a drilling guide to ensure the hole for the cable is in the correctwww.etsy.com
