==Head-units==

The head-unit fitted to Evoras varies depending on the age and specification of the car, with non-Tech Pack equipped cars originally fitted with the [http://www.alpine-europe.com/p/Products/cd-head-units19/cde-111r/ Alpine CDE-111R], later replaced by [http://www.alpine-europe.com/p/Products/cd-head-units19/cde-131r/ Alpine CDE-131R](CDE-102Ji for Japan, CDE-102 for USA) - a fairly standard single-DIN CD head-unit - while Tech Pack cars receive a double-DIN head-unit with touch-screen, satellite navigation, iPod dock and Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity integrated.

The standard fit Tech Pack head-unit for MY09-MY11 cars was either the [http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-alpine-iva-w505r-kce-350bt_p-23338.htm Alpine IVA-W505R] (VIE-X077 for Japan, IVA-W505R for USA) or Alpine IVA-W520R, depending if the sat nav unit is fixed or removable. This Alpine unit was often criticised for its cheap looks, fiddly interface and difficulty in syncing up phones via Bluetooth, and so for MY12 cars was replaced with the [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/AVIC-F930BT/index.html Pioneer AVIC-F930BT] unit.

====Alpine NVE-M300P====

The Alpine system in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars uses the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/p/Products/navigation-systems6/nve-m300p Alpine NVE-M300P Navigation Module], which is connected to the headunit to provide satellite navigation.

[[image:Alpine NVE-M300P.jpg|200px]]

The module feature a mini-USB port which can be used with an adapter and memory stick to update the devices firmware and maps using the Naviextras Toolbox software. Full details on how to update these can be found on the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/support/firmware-map-update/nve-m300prue-m300-firmware-map-update.html Alpine NVE-M300P/RUE-M300 Firmware & Map Update] page.

====Alpine 400BT====

Provides Bluetooth support for the Alpine headunits used in pre-MY12 Tech Pack equipped cars.

The firmware for this can be updated using a Bluetooth equipped PC, following the [http://www.alpine.uk.com/support/bluetooth-firmware-update.html instructions on the Alpine website].

Unlike the older Alpine unit the satellite navigation is contained with the F930BT headunit, rather than using an external module. The same GPS aerial is used as in pre-MY12 modules.

The AVIC-F930BT ships with Tele Atlas maps, however a firmware update can be [http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqEurope-Site/en_GB/-/EUR/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?CatalogCategoryID=fkgKCghBTGgAAAE2TCYisLvD&ShowAllProducts=YES&PersistNavigationMenu=YES purchased from NAVTEQ] which updates the unit to the latest NAVTEQ 2012 European maps as well as updating the software to add features from the newer AVIC-F940BT headunit such as [http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/page/products/advanced-app-mode.html Advanced App mode].

Retro-fitting the AVIC-F930BT requires swapping the radio wiring harness for Part No. A132M0254F <ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/6111899 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora Headunit replacement]</ref>.

For MY13 (exact timing to be confirmed) Lotus reverted to an Alpine head-unit for Tech Pack equipped Evora. The [http://www.alpine.co.uk/p/Products/advanced-navi-station2676/ine-w920r Alpine INE-W920R] can be fitted to older models with the use of a wiring harness adapter (Part No. A132M0326F) and should be compatible with the existing aerials and rear-view camera as fitted to older Alpine equipped cars<ref>[http://forums.seloc.org/p/6112150 SELOC Forums » SELOC Chat » Evora Headunit replacement]</ref>, although a new microphone is required.

With the Evora 400 the Tech Pack option was removed and a double DIN headunit was fitted as standard.

The Alpine INE-W990BT features a 6.1" touchscreen, with a 6.1" LCD, sat-nav (for UK/EU spec cars, 46 country Western and Eastern European maps), Bluetooth, USB port (iPhone connectivity or USB storage) and rear view camera.
