Hello everybody,
since I was a little child the vehicles from jaguar were always my favorite. I fell in love with cars due to the glorious body style of the XJ220.
Unfortunately a XJ 220 is slightly out of budget. But I own a beatiful XJR MY2000 since February last year. It has all available factory options exept the sunroof and rear seat heating.
Some info about me: I live in Germany near Stuttgart (the City were Mercedes and Porsche are located).
I'm 32 years old and I think that's the best age for my first Jaguar, since I can now afford it without the fear of getting bankrupt if something is going to break.
Since then I own the XJR, I came in touch with the electronics of those cars (especially X100 & X308).
I gathered all available information and bought an WDS, IDS (VCM, VMM) and an PDU with MPA.
It turned out, that I have a lot of fun with the diagnotic systems since I have a passion for older tech and computers, too.
Due to my job in the IT business, the whole topic is nothing strange to me.
I'm also working on a 100% Plug'n'Play Bluetooth and Digital Radio extension for the X308.
Hopefully I can report some progress on this topic soon.
I will either sell kits of it or make it completely open accessible, so that everybody can build one and can even improve it. I'm not sure about this so far - maybe it will be a mix of both options.
I'm looking forward for intresting discussions about the cars and the diag systems!
(If anybody finds grammatical errors, I'm happy if you could point it out - I'm trying to improve my english skills with the participation in this forum, as well!)
Kind regards,
Alex
