As I said... hardware support. 
Problem is in USB port of device (r-link). As per experience on VAG with older devices, also USB port must be replaced to be compatible with Apple. As the time of presenting first generation of R-Link2 device there were no standards for Apple CarPlay jet.
Only way would be that developers do emulation for CarPlay protocol on USB. Like in old times of DOS and TSR programs to control ports.

Just want to say a massive thank you. I managed to upgrade my early 2017 Bose kadjar today with no problems. The hardest part was getting into developer mode!

Thanks everyone.

Sure but which article? The 52.20 setting for the cam is from the facebook group "megane 4 friends" (its Italian).

Now that I got my hands on OBD / ddt4all I applied a few more mods to my car such as:

- enabled the always-on LED taillights (they're now active along with front DRL) - this one was mentioned by AOne not long ago but I didn't pay attention then :) its a nice one, especially since I got read-ended 2 times in the past couple of years and I always had the impression that the rear lights are "invisible" for drivers behind me
- enabled temperature reading on the dash screen, because when AA is active there is no temperature displayed on the R-Link screen; this one overlaps with the driving style indicator (the "flower") in the lower left corner of the dashboard, which I disabled; so its a trade - I personally prefer temp reading instead of the flower

If anyone is interested in these mods and you can't find them over the net let me know and I'll share the ddt4all settings paths.

Well thank you.

Please share. As you can see in one of my previous post there is a link on YouTube channel for some modifications. Kadjar is mine.
We try to change parameters on Line distance warning, but it does not work. It accept lower values (speeds), write it, but ignore it. Either has hardcodec minimal speed or instructions are not complete.
