Where are your retail stores located in the USA that can install the Tesla-style screen in our 4.2L and 5.0L X150 models?

 

luv the plastic fake burl wood surround, lol.

No wonder there are so many “driver distracted” oriented mishaps on the road…. you can spend so much time playing with insignificant options and views as opposed to watching the road.

(the very reason I turned down the thought of getting a new E65 Wagon AMG. The ridiculous dashboard is for kids and gamers.)

 

Its really not that hard.

Main issue is longevity and warranty. They are not cheap and with aliexpress you have zero return options.

Also to the other posters, this system is much safer, because you can use voice control. The standard infotainment is so slower and cumbersome that it will distract you for longer.

 

Will this fit a 2008 S-type? Thanks.

 

The thing I would absolutely REQUIRE is complete and total OEM screen accessible items. All the way, the most minuscule settings included. The Ali ones sometimes have heated and cooled seats, some have heated steering, do they also have Valet mode? Folding mirror options? Global open/close? The ability to clear the Center Instrument Screen warnings???

 

You will never get that. These screens are a trade off. Also Valet mode, why is that a must?

Folding mirrors etc isn't controlled via infotainment, neither global open close. Or atleast not ONLY through the infotainment.

​​Clear instrument screen warning nope, can't do that either.

Android Auto/Apple Carplay is worth way more then any of these functions.
There might be an S Type specific screen, just search Tesla screen S Type on AliExpress.

All the settings I stated are modified using the OEM screen. Without that, nothing is changeable. The CLEAR DASH WARNING is and ABSOLUTE must-have. Who would want a big ole bright yellow Warning Symbol on their dash forever??? Can't access anything else while it's there either.
Well, dangit, I really hoped this would be one thing I'd buy.

 

You can simply remove those with odb reader, so I dont see the issue.

 

Yes, that's SO much more convenient than pressing a triangle on the TDS then touching "OKAY".
Stop, park, shut down engine, get code reader, plug device into OBD2, turn ignition on, scan codes, "RESET CODES"... but wait a minute... I don't WANT to reset codes, I just want the BRIGHT YELLOW WARNING gone.... I have to do an emissions test next week, that'll mess up ALL the Emissions Self-Tests and the test will FAIL!!! So, disconnect OBD2 device, restart car, pull back into traffic and STARE at that warning until a week has passed and the emissions test has been completed.
No thanks. That's just dumb.

Why are the OEM configs not included? I'm sure it's just a wee bit of code.

 

At first, I was really impressed by the Tesla-style screen, and considered buying one. I've since changed my mind.

I bought my XKR to enjoy the drive, and am still impressed by the clean design of the instrument panel, steering wheel controls, and ease of use of the touchscreen despite it's age. When I'm driving, I don't want to be distracted by a huge pinball machine flashing in my face. My cellphone is distracting enough, and it's only a fraction of the size.

Android Auto/Apple Car play aren't worth the loss of the above-mentioned functions to me. Nobody knows what other glitches will be caused by those Tesla-style screens, their longevity, support by the seller, and availability of repair parts. They're all Made in China, so ... you're on your own, and eventually will be up the creek without a paddle. And they're expensive.

I get it. It's a generational thing. I'm not a fan of Apple, and an proud to be . For me, the GUI of that Tesla-style screen is a distraction that takes my eyes off the road more than the OEM touchscreen.

 

​​​​​​I Have no clue what you are talking about. Must be a UK thing haha.

 

Nope, it’s a full on USA thing.
Cee Jay has a valid point. Your suggestion to clear codes with an OBD reader, is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Sure, it will kill it, but there are side effects. You can choose not to kill it, but then it will continue to annoy you.

Do you even HAVE an XK?
This is what I speak of, even if your Windscreen Wash Fluid is low, you get a warning between the gauges.
Okay, so then you know your fluid is low but you don't HAVE any right now and you're in the middle of a freeway on your way to EuroDisney... Do you want to stare at that glaring warning for a thousand kilometers? OR, you could touch your screen to clear it. BUT NO!!!!! Use a code reader to clear it!!!! No, that won't clear a Fluid Low warning... nor a bulb failure, nor any of a dozen nuisance warnings. I know!!! Use a piece of black tape over the warning!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT will do the trick!!!!!!!!!

 

I used the console to "silence" my tpms warnings until I got the module replaced - nothing worse than watching rotating red bars on four tires in the display.

I'd rather have a fully operation centre console than worry warting over "Android Auto/Apple Carplay" - include me out. It's a car not disco.

 

I already had a hand brake error(brakes were replaced), fixed the issue and the code cleared itself. Same with the error with pedestrian error. Fixed the issue, code cleared itself. Only one error stayed for which I had to get the ODB reader.

Never had washerfluid error though, then I hardly use it and fill it yearly with my maintenance. And again for thousands of miles? You never get home at any point?

Many people are using these Tesla screens and no one thinks this is an issue. Again it's your personal preference, but losing this one function, which you might use once a year max, is a small loss compared to the upsides. Whether is up to date navigation, much better audio, handsfree control of everything.

If this solution isn't to your liking get OldJaguar box or the 12 volt solution. But neither are gonna to fix the horrible DAC of your standard unit, nor the sluggish touchscreen.
That's fine, but why are you reacting if it isn't for you?

And let's be honest the standard infotainment is hardly functioning to the fullest, whether it's the lack of streaming audio or the horrible navigation.

There is nothing more infuriating, then getting the wrong/out of date directions. I use the car daily, the standard infotainment simply doesn't cut it.

 

I totally agree with this.

I also don't want to LOSE what limited settings the OEM provides. Those are nearly every setting for the car. Can your system change the time on the center "analog" clock? Set the Speed Sensitive Audio Volume? Mirror fold? Mirror reversing dip? Oh, hell, there are dozens and I'm not going to post them all.
If "YES!", then I'm all for it. But I won't give up every vehicle setting FOREVER just to get Google Maps and Streaming Audio (which I don't use anyway). I rarely need any type of navigation anyway, and I always have my phone. OH! And do the NAV turns and lanes show up on the Center Screen on the instrument panel like the OEM system does? Sure, it may be six years out of date, but that is really cool. Course it wouldn't work anyway because that spot is probably full of a reminder that I can't clear anyway.
The Mr12Volt does use the crappy stock screen but adds other stuff. It doesn't remove anything. Same with OldJaguar stuff. Additions, zero removals.
If you can incorporate what came as stock tech seventeen years ago along with all the fancy new stuff, I'll happily buy several of your screens.

 

Cos it's a discussion forum?

 

My entertainment is driving, tactile controls are a plus to me. Distracted drivers bother me a lot, I have little patience for the driver varying their speed by 20-30 mph based on a phone call, a text message, changing their streaming content, whatever.
Yeh, I'm old and getting older.
I know where I'm going and if not I can pull to the side of the roadway and have google maps get me going. I don't veer left and right while searching my touch screened infotainment screen.
Yep the sound system sucks, I'll eventually add a new dsp + amps and be happy. Truth be told, above 70 mph where I live the combination of road construction material and a convertible top allow quite a lot of road noise in, higher frequencies are totally lost.
NO I don't want to have the car drive me.
Those are my current points of view, subject to change whenever.
