Thanks for that link, I just looked on there for my new 17 XE and they list mine as having 825 watts and 17 speakers. https://www.meridian-audio.com/autom.../#post-systems
Strange that it seems the 17 speaker locations are accurate except that it shows 2 trunk subs for mine but I only found 1 physically when I was looking as if I have the 380 watt 11 speaker set up. That part I find very strange.
The sound is super and perfect when playing over BT or my iPod but the AM/FM, Sat radio all sound super poor now matter what I try. Mine is going back to the dealer as the whole center console locks up and reboots all the time. Cant even turn of the A/C or have the beck up cam work.

The system in your XE is the NGI "Next Generation Infotainment" it uses an Ethernet network instead of the MOST fiber optic loop. Actually it's a totally different system the only thing that's the same as the earlier cars is the speakers, everything else is new...

Model: 15MY - Onward F-TYPE Coupe
Issue: The customer may express a concern where a buzzing sound can be heard from the tweeter speakers.
Cause: Audio Amplifier Module (AAM) equalizer file not optimized for Coupe model.
Action: A manual patch has been created to update the software in the AAM until a Technical Bulletin can be created.
Sorry I meant to put those together but this is the file the tech needs to manually download MP_JLR_L0045

Did you have this patch applied to your car ?
I'm going to my dealership (in France) tomorrow and would probably ask for it to be done, hoping it would change something...
I really can't stand that shitty sound anymore! But I'm also tired of asking my dealer to fix an issue they even don't recognize (buzzing twitters) : it seems I'm the only one having this issue!!
I already went twice to the dealership for this problem : they updated the software and put dynamat everywhere but of course it didn't change anything (except new vibrations from the doors and back speakers due to disassembly and reassembly of parts...)
I also wanted to try the unofficial "fix" with a good amp placed in my car without calibration.. But I wasn't able to find a F-type without the twitter problem at my dealership! ((... no there is no problems with the audio system! ))
I really love this amazing F-type R but I'm fond of music and I just can't go on with this €3000 crappy audio system! If there is no solution from JLR by spring, I will definitely sell this car and go back to a German brand : they do solve problems (when there are some) and it makes all the difference for me.

Get your audio updated peeps.
Just got my car back from the dealer today and I can confirm that the software update did fix the buzzing from the tweeter.
Your dealer should already have the update for the software and the bulletin is literally called "SSM73060 - Buzzing Sound From Tweeter Speakers (Coupe Only)"
Thanks MaximA.

If you have them apply the latest AAM module from SDD 148 you will get it with the configuration and yes for me at least it sounds much better. Three people asked me what changed, and it sounds so much better.
I'm new to the F Type but surprised it took so long to address.

Post Amp update: where to go now?
I figured I should post in this in the thread here because this is a topic that my fellows in this thread probably care about.
Even after most of the issues from the audio system itself are fixed, I still cannot really enjoy my driving experience because of the poor quality of the interior construction. Rattles behind both seats and the center console to begin with.
Dealer looked at it at least 3 times and they 'cant duplicate it' Anyone have any suggestions as to what kind of expert I can take this car to to have the interior gone over with a fine tooth comb and troubleshoot all these rattling issues?
Thanks

I am deeply sorry to learn of all of the concerns you have raised to myself. I would be more than happy to request that this is investigated in further detail on your behalf.
In order for me to do so, can I please kindly request that you PM me with your vehicle and contact details.

1. Check engine light! [as of yesterday]
2. Right dash creak/tick/buzz [previously fixed, but back again]
3. Roof tick twice a second when applying brake [confirmed, fix attempted, no resolution]
4. Passenger door creak near B pillar [new issue]
5. Breaks too soft/squishy, air flush needed? [last 3 months, previously was told behaves correctly, I strongly disagree]
6. Brake squeaks under light pedal pressure [last 3 months]
7. Front right parking sensor intermittent false alert [last few months]
8. Fuel filling stops early many times at pump [last 3 months]
Plus a seemingly endless number of areas in the doors/dash/seat console that rattle when playing music with some moderate bass.
Keep in mind I've already accumulated over 6 weeks of shop time in just under a year of ownership. I've been starting to seriously contemplate the lemon law.

Same here. After many visits, there are still a number of interior quality issues that are a daily nagging reminder of the crappy quality/workmanship. The driving is fun enough to tune it out on a windy mountain road, but when daily driving it throughout the city, the issues become clear. Here's my current list for my next service visit in a few days:

Hope you can get it sorted as must be very frustrating.

I frequent different forums and I'd say the Audis have the least issues and the Dodges (specifically Hellcats) also have a low numbers of issues - the ones they do have are serious though.
Glad not all F-types have this many issues - still my favorite car. The first thing I always hear from non-enthusiasts when the word Jaguar is spoken is don't get one they have so many problems .... ugh.

I have my own list to date.
1. Rattling/vibrating sound in doors when radio is on, even at low volume. (Took it in to get fixed, they said it was fixed but it was even worst. Ended up dynamat-ing and padding both the doors myself, reduced problem by 70%)
2. Rattling noise from the rear wall on any road that is not perfectly smooth
3. Rattling noise from the convertible top bouncing against the plastic side flaps
5. Exhaust issue, right valve doesn't fully open, rattling, clicking in the muffler/silencer (pronounced with valves closed)
6. Battery drain - Low battery indicator every few days (At the dealer being addressed now)
7. Electrical Issue 1 - Car does not always respond to the remote. Need to wait up to 30 secs before it decides to listen.
8. Electrical Issue 2 - The garage opener occasional does not work. Solution: power off the car, and then back on and it works.
9. The alignment on the passenger side rear fender is bad, causes paint to chip where rear quarter panel and bumper meets - fixed but has returned
