There are companies out there that do this. Not sure a land rover has been done, but I know a Ford Raptor has been converted over to one.

To anybody thinking about doing this...read that forum. Holy cow...99 pages of comments since December. Lots of noted issues and problems. Here's the thing...if you're going to do this remember that whatever you install is likely running on an Android platform. Mind you it's not a "Samsung android" or "pure android" but a 3rd party edition that's been hacked up to interface with the factory systems. My experience with Android that isn't baked and run by a major player is that they fall out of support quickly and you're stuck trying to fix it when it crashes.

Simplicity is key here...the factory system "works"...is it a little laggy and out of date? Sure is but it still works. If you want a 10"+ infotainment system on the dash find a way to mount a tablet of your own in addition to the factory system. Sure it won't be as neat looking as one that's built into the dash but it's also not something that's going to leave you high and dry should it crash and reset.
That raptor demo actually looked great to me, but I think that’s a more advanced (12inch)unit. I think the 10.4’s are slower/older
