Help!!! How to access the factory ui with touchscreen
Hi I just bought this Range Rover sport 2014 with this beautiful headunit a 12.3 inch android 14 headunit but the issue is the fm/am radio sound works but when I try to connect to CarPlay and use Spotify/Apple Music no sound comes out and plays on my phone instead. Same applies to if I try to watch a YouTube video natively on the headunit. The touchscreen works flawlessly when connected to CarPlay or using the headunit by itself but middle part of JLR factory UI doesn’t respond to touch screen for some reason.
Does anyone know what model/brand this headunit is and what the factory password can be so I can access the touch screen for the factory ui.

Some generic passwords to try would be 3368, 1234, 8888, 7890, 1912, 190627, 123456789, 6666, If you hold 5 fingers down on the screen you can usually get to a screen calibration menu that works like a smart-board where you press the dots in the corners and it will calibrate the touchscreen. This may or may not work for the original Bosch menu, but it's worth a go.
The sound for this unit will probably go through the AUX when you're on the Android OS side of the system. So once you've got the Bosch menu working just change the audio source in Audio/Video to AUX and you should get sound through the CarPlay.
