You by an OBD reader, which can be bought on EBay or Amazon for 12.50 and up. You then buy the Torque app for either the Android or Apple smartphone. Plug the OBD reader into the receptacle below the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel on LH drive vehicles. I don't know where it is on RH drive cars. Pair the OBD with smartphone and then you can get readings for many things not included in the original gauge set. All of this can be accomplished for $30 or less (in the states).

In a forum in Spain I also read that there was a hidden menu to see the temperature on the screen, but no matter how much I try, that parameter does not appear.
It would be interesting to know how it is done so as not to have to resort to the phone with the torque application.

To access the hidden menu on the touch screen, view this thread. It's an XF but same info applies to your vehicle.

If you want the gauges displayed on the touchscreen as you requested, you can do that using an android box. no need to tie up your phone. Follow the instructions in the link Cee Jay provided in post 8. No other way of doing it that I'm aware of. You can display anything Torque pro provides and you can add you own PID's as well.

What bothers them a lot is to see that in a limit of 100 km / h you go to 80 km / h with your Jaguar xk (which by the way there are very few here) with total tranquility.

There is a hidden menu on the touch screen and theres a diagnostic on the gauge cluster. The screen is NOT something you want to attempt to access while driving unless you've grown tired of living, because it requires your attention to it vs. the road. So nothing you can do while driving. Might be ok for checking battery voltage in your driveway but not much value.
