Welcome to the Club, Philip.   Many happy miles in your XF.  I updated my SatNav to the latest version (2018) and it made a big difference. Yours will be the same as mine (also 2013) so will be the HDD version, which comes on a USB stick and takes about 2.5 - 3.0 hours to update but you can do it on a long drive.  I cannot remember where I got mine but will have a look for the receipt as it was around half the price of the Official Jaguar price I paid £85 (it comes with a unique key code tied to your Vin Number). 

  

Bill,

where did you get your SatNav USB update from?

The fault is nothing to do with software, the camera either works or it doesnt work and if it doesnt work or only works spasmodically it is probably a fault in the wiring harness between the camera lens in the boot lid and its connector to the main loom in the rear right hand wing behind the boot trim. The problem lies in cheap wiring looms using Aluminium wires where it exits the boot upper body and into the boot lid via a rubber flexible conduit. I have just replaced mine after it kept playing up, now its fine works every time,

Sounds like that's what I need to do.

Do you know the part number you needed?

And if it's likely to be the same for my 2013 XF Sport?

Thaks in advance

Regards

Hi Taf.

The auto-electrician effected a temporary repair to the loom which has fixed the camera, but the quality is incredibly poor. However, the fact that the repair, albeit temporary and not very good, has given me back at least a very poor image implies to me that he was correct and it is the loom, not the software. He has got the loom now and I'll get it fitted in the next couple of weeks. I will keep you all updated via this thread, hopefully getting a few pictures as he goes. The loom cost £40 ish (+VAT) and will take a couple of hours to fit. He charges £50/hour (including VAT) so hopefully not too expensive.

Thanks to everybody for their help, I'll be back soon to update you all.

Cheers,

Mac

Hi Mac,

Sounds like exaclty the same fault on my 2013 XF Sport.

Makes a hideous screeching sound when I start the car then says 'camera not available, contact dealer'

It happened a couple of months ago so I booked it into the local dealership, but before the appoinment came around it started working again, so I cancelled the booking.  since then it's happening again so I've re-booked it for a few weeks time.

They tell emt the diagnostic charges are £180 per hour - so if I can help them to find the failt in a bout 5 minutes it's be a huge help!

Do you know what the part number / description is?  And can I buy it from the main dealer myself?

I've looked t the rubber hose between the boot lid & body - all looks fine but obviously can;lt see what's going on insite the tube.

Thanks in advance

Whilst having a pair of tyres fitted recently in one of the national high street garages, the fitter spotted some defective paint around the door handle I'd never seen before and suggested that I contact Jaguar as there was a recall notice issued for this issue. 

Does anyone know of this or have any similar problems or experience?

I also want to get my setback maps updated.  Any suggestions?

XF 2013 Plate

Thanks

Hi I'm new to the club.

I have a 2013 XF and wondered if anyone could advise the best way to update the SatNav and software please?

Thanks in advance.
