I just went to your YouTube Channel, it is very good 😊
Thanks for this. It might be what I need for my 2005 XJR. I need to replace the infotainment system. It is so outdated.

Some kind if info as to a source, maybe? Otherwise, what are you telling us? "I found this. It's cool. Maybe you guys can find it, too..."

If you look on ali-express you will also find some units, different amounts of memory, different prices.
For me it's a lot of money to pay for something off the internet from China.
It's a pretty cool looking thing though.
If it works then way better than any other alternative there is for up to date sat nav, Bluetooth music etc.

I found them on Ali Express as well. A mate in Scotland has stopped using Ebay and just uses Ali now and has had no problems.

Check Rhino Radio from his YouTube channel has the units. I have no idea about the quality of the products or the quality of the company.

Pretty interested in this. But does the temp change to F? Some comments in other threads said it could not. I have an XJR, so I would want the S-Type, right? My radio looks similar to that one.

I ordered one for my xjr. Noone else makes a direct fit. For me its worth the $. Small price to pay if it does what its supposed to. Also small price to pay just to find out.

Have you seen the jagdroid unit? It's a direct fit and I might feel a little better about the support for it.

My only issue with JagDroid is I need to remove my head unit and send it in to be modified. At least with something like this worst case I can pop the old HU back in. Likewise, I am assuming I am unable to drive the car while waiting for the HU to get sent overseas, upgraded, and sent back.

I think you can still drive the car with the headunit removed. You of course don't have access to the radio/phone/HVAC, but I think everything else works fine.
