Hi Arnold, unless your buttons look like this, you haven't got folding mirrors.

A few months ago I picked up a 2018 XE R-Sport which is my first Jaguar, and I'm very much in love with. The only frustration I have with the car is InControl Touch.

I think we all accept that the system is at best mediocre, and in light of the 'infotainment revolution' in the last couple of years with every basic entry-level hatchbacks since 2019/2020 coming with Apple Carplay and a host of other features, InControl is looking exceptionally dated, especially the non-Pro version. Even Jaguar have finally realised this and scrapped it in favour of Pivi Pro.

I'll accept all of that - I didn't buy a Jaguar for an infotainment system, if it wasn't for Jaguar completely abandoning any of us with that system. 2 big issues - the loss of almost all support for the apps, and the nav system.

Recently there appears to be a July 2022 map update for InControl Touch via jaguar.welcome.naviextras.com - 31.4.11782. I, in a complete temporary loss of sanity, paid the £97 but the installer won't let me get passed 26.3.9908, a very outdated version, despite it sitting there in my 'purchased' section. I've contacted my jaguar retailer (as this is the only contact the website gives) who say they can't help, and now I've eventually found an email for naviextras and I'm waiting to hear reply about a refund. There is absolutely no indication that the car is not compatible but I'm now reading that on some forums.

It just seems a bit crazy that you essentially can't use the Nav system in a 4 year old 'luxury saloon' (for fear of ending up in a river) nor a lot of the features that came as new. Obviously Jaguar want to push their latest models but how can you sustain any brand loyalty when you're prepared to leave owners of relatively new-ish cars flapping in the wind. While infotainment systems aren't the end of the world, it's the fact you're paying for a high end car that overlooks it. That's what is frustrating.

Part of this is rant, and there's not much to be done about InControl but mainly - has anyone had any experience with this new map update - success? refund? solutions? Other than the obvious - use your phone/fork out for a new car/hunt down the original owner who put together the build for not getting Pro/just get over it

Have a look here Stephen, it might give you a few things to try!

Hi John.

First sign of ACC is the growler badge on the front grill has a rectangular plastic surround. You will also see on the steering wheel, apart from the up and down arrows (North and South position) there are also some additional arrows in the East and West positions. A long double ended arrow on the West position and a short double ended arrow on the East position.

Hi John.

Can't say I've ever had this happen to me. If it is definitely in D when you set off then it should change automatically without displaying any gear numbers. If you have caught the paddle by mistake, holding the + paddle for about 3 seconds will put the car back to D and fully auto.

Hope that helps.

Premski. I wouldn't take it anywhere except straight back to the dealer. If you have someone else look at it before they do then you've given them a "get out of jail free" card and they may refuse to rectify it. The fact that you have have paid extra to get a 3 year extended warranty, you may as well take full advantage of it. I would have thought A/C would be covered!

Hi Premski.

I've not heard of there being an inherent fault with the XE. Where did you get the car from? I'm only asking as my XE was not from a main dealer but it did come with a 3 month warranty. It may be worth asking the dealership if they could rectify it. If the purchase was private then I think the cheapest option would be to go to an AC specialist and get him to look at it. They can do a pressure test to see if there is any gas in the system, If the system is empty they will also do a pressure test to see if it will hold pressure before putting gas into it! Sorry I can't be of more help. 😐 

Hi Trevor.

Thanks for your reply. I will take some nice photos once I've washed the car and got it all sparkling. 

It does seem really strange not driving a Ford to be honest, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. 😁

There is an emergency key in the key fob. There should be no reason he can't open the doors and release the bonnet catch!

Hi all. 

Just joined the club after buying a lovely XE R Sport in Loire blue! It's a 2017 model and had only 13505 miles on the clock when I picked it up! I absolutely love it. And like it says in the title, it is the first car I have ever owned that has not been made by Ford! (I do work for Ford so go easy with the replies) 😜

Hot air! Damn you auto correct!

I'm new to Jaguar ownership but I have noticed that there is a place in the engine compartment to attach jump leads/battery charger! Possibly connect a charger to this and see if you open it that way! Like I say I'm new to Jaguar so might be talking got air!

Good luck.

Two reasons I use a charger. 

One. I don't have any spare batteries lying around & Two. Guaranteed voltage output. 🤨

This may well be a big no no with Jaguars but last time I changed a battery I knew that there would be issues with radio codes, window memory, central locking etc so I decided to do a little experiment. I connected my battery charger to the cables before I disconnected them. Switched on the charger, disconnected the cables, swapped the batteries, reconnected the cables switched off and disconnected the charger and the car worked exactly the way it did before I changed the battery! ZERO problems! 😉

Hi Michael.

I too have just had a similar issue after buying my first Jaguar (Blue XE).

I bought a 32gb stick only to get the the message telling me there was insufficient space!

Make sure you buy a 64gb USB 3 memory stick. I tried to install the maps off a USB 2 memory stick I already had but it failed twice at 3%. The USB 3 stick worked first time.

I think it's a mad that you have to download the map direct to the memory stick. My PC does not have USB3 ports and it took about 4 hours!

Best of luck. 👍
