Hi all, my name is Pete and I’m in Canberra Australia. I’ve recently purchased a black 2016 V6S Auto RWD Coupe.
I’ve been reading some old posts on this forum regarding possible software upgrades/installations. It appears my car isn’t equipped with Dynamic i or dual zone climate control - two things I would’ve specified if buying new. Obviously when buying used you have to compromise on specification. I have a pano roof, 20” Cyclones, performance heated seats, reverse camera/park sensors and electric tailgate which were desirables for me. What are my options for adding Dynamic i and dual zone climate?

Cheers, Pete

 

Dynamic i can be added by someone who has SDD equipment and knows how to use it, Cambo (on this forum) did it for me a few years ago.
But he is in Sydney and I don't know anyone in Canberra with the equipment.
SDD = System or Symptom Driven Diagnostics, the dealership level JLR diagnostic gear, it is very expensive and takes knowledge and experience to use properly.
A JLR dealership could in theory do it but none will, and there is no other way of doing it.
I think the same applies to dual zone climate but I'm not sure on that.

 

I pretty much got the impression that the dealers pretty much will tell you to buy another car.

I wanted to add the console mounted switch to set the exhaust in loud mode. A factory option. Only a switch and minor computer change. Yes I have the active exhaust.

that was the answer.

 

Getting Dynamic is a software change, but you'll be hard pressed to find someone with the equipment.

I wouldn't worry much about the dual zone - the cabin is tight enough in the F-Type that there isn't much room for differentiation. Between managing vent positions (and seat warmer in winter), you'll be fine.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes agreed about dual zone although my wife runs a bit hotter (& colder) than me - dodgy thermostat! I would like to add dynamic i though. Perhaps Cambo might chime in.
Not a problem to go to Sydney, it’s just up the road.
