  1. To reply to SulpheXE's original post, I have the same issue. I also have a MY18 R-Sport (a 250PS model with a tuning box) and it's a lovely thing. My fourth Jag and by far my best. The combination of power and handling, whether pressing ahead on country roads or cruising, is simply amazing. It always bring a smile. The infotainment system is hopeless, however. JLR cannot compete in this market and have pretty much given up. By enabling Apple and Android map integration (along with everyone except Tesla) the car manufacturers are accepting that software is a market they cannot compete in. I cancelled my InControl subscription because the car would regularly not communicate with JLR to update. It has been suggested that this is because a decent connection is needed to upload trip data but this is guff. I have worked in IT for 20+ years and cloud applications is my thing. It's simply that the JLR software is hopeless. They kind of know it. None of this helps my car as it has just come up with a "Cannot detect SD card" error after the hot spell. That it even HAS an SD Card is pretty amazing. I have given up on my car's map capabilities now and with a non-functioning SD Card I lose voice dialling, but that's about it. (I also tried to update maps with no success.) A rant to respond to the original rant, but sometimes these things are cathartic. 🙂 I love the way my XE looks and drives and wouldn't change anything about it. Later fully digital car dashboards and information systems leave me completely cold. I really really do not want to control my car through an iPad. It adds NOTHING to the driving experience. At least for me. JLR were very gracious about refunding my inControl subscription when it stopped working reliably and even gave me £60 to compensate me, which was a nice gesture. But their software is terrible. I CAN very much appreciate what Jaguar did with the petrol XE R-Sports, though. They are amazing cars to drive, with no distractions.
