Default Hello from the UK!

Hello all!
I thought i would get online and say hi!
As you can see below, this is my newly collected Lunar Grey 2011 XFR.
I bought it a week ago and picked it up 300 miles away in Whales. Best test drive ever!!

HOWEVER!

A week on, i have found out that its a Japanese import. As such, things like the Sat Nav and radio dont work as they should in the UK. The sat nav (although reading in the English language) only allows me to search for post codes that are numerical. The radio, only allows me to scan frequencies in the low range band up to 89.9.

Does anyone know if i can just swap the touch screen out for an English unit to resolve these issues?

Its in for a service next week, so i plan to ask whilst im there... but its gonna be expensive at a main dealer.

Any help is appreciated!

Karl

Welcome to the forum Karl,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Japanese exported Jaguars regularly turn up in Australia - yours is the first on the forum turning up in the UK. Sat Nav and radio issues aside, it looks in great shape.

I can see you've already found your way to the X250 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.


Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Welcome.

Sig looks fine from down here.

Nice looking XF, and bugga on the sat nav issue, but the people in the Tech Section Graham has linked, will know.

Good luck.
