Factory-look wireless CarPlay & Android Auto, retrofitted to your McLaren IRIS.

McLaren CarPlay, integrated into IRIS

McLaren's IRIS infotainment has a reputation among owners, and it is deserved - the MP4-12C, 650S, 570S and 675LT shipped with a system that was slow and awkward when the cars were new. It is the single most common non-mechanical complaint we hear about these cars, and adding CarPlay to the portrait display transforms daily usability. The 720S and Artura systems are much improved, so what is worth doing depends on which generation you have.

What you get

  • Makes an IRIS car usable — the MP4-12C, 650S, 570S and 675LT are what this is really for.
  • CarPlay on the factory portrait display, with the original controls kept.
  • Less obvious gain on 720S and Artura — we will say so rather than sell it.
  • Bowers & Wilkins or factory audio and the reversing camera retained.
  • Nothing drilled, nothing clamped to the carbon monocoque.
  • The most access-constrained job we do, and priced for the time it takes.

Which system is in your McLaren

Your car will have one of the IRIS system in the MP4-12C, 650S, 570S and 675LT, and the newer 720S and Artura units, and that decides whether the work is an activation or a retrofit. We confirm it from your registration and VIN before quoting.

How we do it on a McLaren

On the IRIS cars we feed the factory portrait display through an interface behind the unit, keeping the original controls, so navigation and music become usable without any change to the cabin. The constraint is the carbon monocoque: the routing paths that exist on a conventional car largely do not, nothing is drilled, and nothing is clamped to structure. It is the most access-constrained infotainment work we do and we price the extra time rather than pretending otherwise.

What stays exactly as it was

The factory portrait display, the original controls, steering-wheel switches, reversing camera and the factory or Bowers & Wilkins audio are all retained, and the installation leaves no trace.

Questions

McLaren CarPlay — frequently asked

Can you fix the IRIS system in my 650S or 570S?
We can make it usable, which is what owners actually want. Feeding the factory portrait display with CarPlay means navigation and music come from your phone instead of from IRIS, without changing anything about the cabin. It is the most common request we get on these cars.
Does the carbon tub make this harder?
Yes - the routing paths a conventional car offers largely do not exist, nothing is drilled and nothing is clamped to structure. It is the most access-constrained infotainment job we do, and we price the extra time rather than pretending it is the same as a saloon.
Is it worth doing on a 720S?
Less obviously. The 720S and Artura systems are much improved over IRIS, so the gain is smaller. We would rather tell you that than take the work - it depends on which generation you have and how you use the car.
