According to the company, the existing owners of the XUV700 will have to take the SUV to their nearest Mahindra service centre from September 5 onwards to activate this feature. As per some media reports, the delay has been caused due to licensing issues. Notably, Mahindra claims that its version of the Apple CarPlay on the XUV700 is quite different from others.
