XKR Sat Nav

[Chocolatemonk]

I have just bought a 2001 XKR 100 that has full Alpine system including Sat Nav, does anyone know if up to date Sat Nav discs are available as I seem to have drawn a blank!

[Devilcake]

I had a 53 xkr and asked around for this too - seems like Jaguar declined to produce up-date disks so I think u r stuck - probs best to just buy a tomtom :(

The last SatNav disc available is the 2003 update. No further updates are available.

 

A few years ago we tried to get Alpine to produce a more recent update but they refused.

Well the sat nav discs for my XKR (2012 reg) are 2012-2913 .

Hi Martin,

 

I was able to get a 2012/13 disc for my S Type from a company called SatNav Updates.  Just £30 + p&p. Worth trying.

 

Regards

 

Peter.

Peter,

 

Their site is under maintenance at the moment, tried for the link earlier .

 

If I could find a way to copy the discs I would do. I have the software, but there are two discs and they are 7.5 gig each, don;t know where to get the discs from as normal DVD discs are only 4.4 gig

 

Otherwise I would do a copy for them.

 

But the last last update being 2003 must be incorrect, as you and I have 2012-2013 discs. And i'm sure the new F Type, and all new jags will have an up to date system.

 

ATB,

P.S., of for a bimble down to Penzance today, would you like a stick of rock?

I think you will find they are different systems in the X150 and F-type. The next time one of our X150 customers comes in we will try to see if it works on a X100.

 

p.s if your trip takes you down the A303 I'll have a stick of rock :)

Peter,

 

It doesn't, but I'm going down the race track (A303, and my favourite road) on July 23rd and August 1st.

I think the last disks for the X100 Alpine system were dated 2003, the X150 are different format and will not work in the X100 SatNav. I have bought a TomTom with Lifetime Maps, much better software with Postcode search, the X100 SatNav was a pig, labourious to enter data and out of date maps.

[Old Peter]

Welcome to the club, Barry.

 

I got the up to date disc for my S Type and at a 2012/2013 date, too.  I find it quite easy but I can imagine a 2003 disc would be found guilty of leading you  up a garden path - literally.

It did get me horrendously lost in West London on one occasion Peter, that was in my previous XKR a 2005 model but with the same old SatNav maps, it was shortly after that I bought my first TomTom!  

 

Slight digression for which I apologise in advance but why is there no XKR in the list of Jaguar Models when selecting your car in your profile Peter?

[knightsmith]

Bazz,

 

His wife wants one though, they are fab cars .

I didn't think there were any individual cars in my profile, Bazz,  I just think my wife is missing the boy racer in me though!

[Bazz]

Sorry Peter, I didn't mean your as in yours personally, I meant generally when selecting from the drop down list there is no XKR?

hi chaps, after using the sat nav in my xk last weekend in blackpool area have to say it was rubbish. so much so on tue this week bought myself a new garmin from halfords  used my discount card saved a few quid. life times updates. used it to go to a jag day out up here today it was great. happy chapie :P

[knightsmith]

Charlie,

 

Can't say i've ever had any problems with my sat nav, it has been superb, and we haven't even got roads in Devon !

 

ATB,

I would hope and expect that the SatNav in the current X150 is a much better, more current and reliable offering.

Hi Barry,

 

I think the XKR must be included in the XK section.
