Hi Dennis.

How is the phone integration? No issues connecting by Bluetooth and making calls? All works well?

Default Non touch screen x350

Does the xj unit work directly with non touch screen versions or is there a wiring and additional equipment required? -I would really like to update my settup

Just use a reciprocating saw. Measure twice, cut once.


Not to put too fine a point on it, I wouldn't buy a car, any car, that's been beggared about. Have you considered "kitset cars" /s?
(or a Tesla perhaps. Better acceleration than an F-Type)

Last question Dennis, then I think I'll pull the trigger on this:. Is there a way to turn the screen off completely? And also a way to turn it down manually if I think it's too bright?

Default Tesla style screen

So, I have received my new Tesla 9.7" screen for my X350 XJ8, I bought it through Tradetech based in Spain, (I live in Australia) although slightly more expensive than through Alibaba, which has a bad name over here! Tradetech seem to have good aftersales service and easily contactable via WhatsApp and phone.
I'm going to get it professionally installed, I'm wondering if anyone here has fitted or had theirs fitted yet and is up and running and how you're going with it? I currently have a Jagdroid installed but have had nothing but trouble with it from day 1, this seems to be the answer??.......or is it, I'm a bit nervous I may have just flushed 1300 bucks down the loo? I wouldn't be so nervous if they gave you a set of instructions with the things but no! Apparently it's quite simple but I don't have a lot of faith in the tradeys around Cairns in North Queensland! Anyway we shall see, it's getting fitted next month hopefully Cheers

Hi, did you manage to get your Tesla style screen fitted? If so how's it going?
Cheers
