It won't be enough unfortunately. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto will require a different WiFi hardware what we have currently in our cars.

Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto: Which cars have it? What to know

As far as I'm aware the Discover Pro comes with both an inbuilt GPS receiver and dual band WiFi router (5GHz enabled through adaptions). I could be wrong though.

If that's the case it's just software/firmware remaining.

Rest assured it will be available only in new vehicles.
Why make it available in existing vehicles when you can force someone to upgrade based on a $200 upgrade?

Then why do you think the brand new Tuareg with all the tech bells and whistles does not have wireless CarPlay and AA? Kind of defeats the logic here.

Exactly.
It's certainly possible to retrofit to existing cars but why do so when you can instead offer it in a brand new car instead?
