Land Rover Classic is giving older Range Rovers a modern twist. The company has introduced a new infotainment upgrade for the L322-generation Range Rover, which was produced until 2012. The big highlight? It now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But there’s a catch—this upgrade won’t be available in the United States.

A Modern Touch For The Classic SUV
The upgrade is meant only for Range Rovers built between 2010 and 2012. It works with all stereo systems offered during those years. The best part is that it keeps the SUV’s original touchscreen and physical controls intact, blending old-school design with modern tech.
Drivers will now be able to easily switch between the old interface and new features like navigation, music apps, and voice assistants. It gives a fresh, practical experience without changing the vehicle’s look or feel.
A Thoughtful Update!
Land Rover Classic is known for high-quality restorations and upgrades, and this one stays true to that vision. According to Dominic Elms, the Managing Director of Land Rover Classic, the new system is designed to match the original factory style while offering today’s tech conveniences.
The upgrade was developed by the team at Classic Works, Land Rover’s heritage division, which focuses on keeping older models alive and enjoyable for modern driving needs.
Not Coming To The United States
Despite the positive reception in Europe, Land Rover has confirmed that this update will not be offered in the US. No reasons were given, but it’s possible that regional software laws or licensing issues played a part. For now, only customers in the UK and Germany can purchase the upgrade, and they’ll receive a two-year warranty with it.
Other Carmakers Have Done It Too
Land Rover isn’t the first to modernize its old vehicles. Back in 2022, Porsche launched similar upgrades for older models like the 911, Boxster, and Cayenne. However, Porsche chose to replace the entire head unit, while Land Rover is keeping the factory hardware intact.
This move shows a growing trend among carmakers—bringing smart tech to older cars without losing their charm. And while Range Rover owners in the US might feel left out for now, the upgrade shows that vintage luxury can still meet modern tech.
