Can you add me please 2002 S Type +3
Will happily join the convoy and event

Hi there
I have just acquired a 2002 S Type and the only thing I have is, that it doesn't have the SatNav header unit but the old in car phone one.
Now my question is; would it be worth getting a header unit (off eBay for example) for around £80 and then fitting it/getting it fitted. Or stick to what I have and get a TomTom or similar.
I can definitely see the advantages of getting a built in unit as long as I can get up to date mapping info - as it seems to only be available up to around 2012. It will look better and certainly compliment the car. Also, if I am going to replace the header is it worth upgrading the radio cd part to one that will connect to my phone (Bluetooth) and allow me a USB to plug in my MP3.

Finally, is replacing these units relatively pain free (I am a computer geek not a mechanic so assume minimal knowledge but an ability to follow youtube guides etc) or are they a job for someone who knows their way around Jaguar stereo and entertainment equipment

Many thanks for any help or advice you may feel able to give :)

Hi there
Have always liked and admired Jags and yesterday I finally acquired a gorgeous 2002 S-Type. Drives like a dream and I am very happy with my purchase.
Looking forward to getting to know people on here
