I was loaned a MY21 Ateca Xperience and it was fitted with the new MIB3 infotainment with the 9.2" screen, Wireless CarPlay and wireless charging.
Needless to say I fell in love (not with the car, it was OK, the Tech).
As all this is available to MY21 Tarracos, does anybody know whether it is possible to upgrade, either as a whole or individually by sourcing constituent parts?
Just to give you an idea of how the experience is significantly better, the 9.2" screen is not only larger but also has higher resolution so fits much more information and it was a treat with CarPlay vs the 8.0". Also, wireless charging works instantly with wireless CarPlay connecting within a few seconds (the system recognises that the phone is charging and notifies accordingly).
Currently I am using the following two products to "simulate" the experience and even though they work OK they are not a match for the MIB3, e.g. the charging unit doesn't like thick phones and the CarPlay unit needs at least 30s to connect, every 20 connections or so it becomes unresponsive and needs rebooting, little annoyances but they count:

Carlinkit 2.0 Wireless CarPlay Activator (Type C design)
