Still doing that 20 second pre-roll for each and every video…
That Parking Aid screen had better show a good birds eye view in real life. I recently saw the birds eye view in the new S550 and was so impressed. Will Land Rover compare?

Interesting (new?) accessory shown in the new Land Rover Discovery brochure.
They have an option for non-iPhones too:
Updated (1/22/17) confirming hardware configuration:
It is an Intel Quad Core 1.9 GHz Atom with 4GB of RAM and a 60GB SSD in the US market. For the rest of the world, if Rear Seat Entertainment is specified, a 160GB SSD is used. With the 60GB drive, 10GB is configured for user media, the 160GB drive increases that to 110GB of user media storage.
Located under the front left-side seat, here’s the Infotainment Master Controller (IMC):
Their reference design for IVI:
Jaguar Land Rover likes to point out that InControl Touch Pro uses an Intel quad-core processor. Looking at Intel’s IVI documentation, the processor they’re describing is most likely the 1.91Ghz Intel Atom E3845. A hardened SOC that can operate from -40° to 110°C.
Throughout other articles Linux is referenced and while they may just be using the template for the VM they used in testing some of their new tech, one of the press photos calls out 64-bit Ubuntu.
First the image of the test system running on the additional touch screen. Then see the second picture below, zooming in on the test screen
This wasn’t a secret, as far back in 2013 they said it would be a GENIVI-compliant, Linux-based infotainment system.

LAND ROVER PUTS WORLD-FIRST INTELLIGENT SEAT FOLD TECHNOLOGY TO EXTREME TEST… REMOTELY
World-renowned British adventurer and well-known Land Rover owner Bear Grylls took to the skies to put the New Discovery’s Intelligent Seat Fold technology to the ultimate test. The system allows Discovery owners to configure their vehicle seating through the InControl Remote app on their smartphone from anywhere in the world – even in mid-air.
Having jumped from a plane with six members of the Royal Navy Parachute Display Team and freefalling at 125mph, Bear was able to change the vehicle’s seating layout at the touch of a button on his smartphone before he had to deploy his parachute.
Once on the ground all the skydivers were able to jump into a camouflaged prototype of the New Discovery, which comfortably seats seven full-sized adults.
The world-first Intelligent Seat Fold technology allows the two rear rows of seats to be fully reconfigured in as as little as 14 seconds via the InControl Remote app downloaded on any iOS or Android operating system.
