Name Something You Discovered About Your F-Type AFTER You Bought it...

Not at all. All you are doing is moving heat from the passenger compartment coils to the condenser coils at the radiator. Open to the environment will just cause the compressor to operate full time rather than cycling off and on. The compressors are rated for full time service.

Here ya go. No real good explanation from Jaguar Canada. Same behaviour for why they don't offer Caldera Red as a colour or only 4 year warranty and 1 year maintenance.

What it does is cause threads where people "complain" about a wet carpet from the AC. This of course happens in the high humidity states when the AC runs with top down or windows open and the water condensates along all the air ducts, vents and AC parts and start dripping.

I have an F-type R arriving next month and compared my spec sheet to yours and there are the same deletions re. the Incontrol Remote. What did Jaguar Canada tell you? Is it something that can be switched on or are there now parts missing (other than, presumably, window sensors)?

I remember hearing that part of the issue in Canada wasn't just the hardware, it was the lack of business agreements between JLR and the Satellite / Cell Phone providers over which the data is transmitted. (I have never confirmed this...)

Edit: although I imagine InControl Secure is definitely not installed, as that was a cost option.

That just says 'No subscription', but not that the hardware is not installed...as in, your car won't be enabled for access to JLR's servers/network, but hopefully might be in future if they get the right agreements in place or whatever it is they're currently missing...

Yes, it's a DVD player, but only standing still. It's against US safety regs for a video entertainment system to be watchable by the driver while a vehicle is in motion.
But, hey if you want to sit in your F-Type and watch a movie in your driveway with the car in park you can, although I don't know if the switch to disable it is connected to the engine running or having the car in gear. If not, you'll run the battery down pretty fast.

I've asked the dealer if they can get the 'parts' so I can retrofit it, and he's going to look into it.

It is the land of the free--easy and free for almost anyone to file a lawsuit. There's no shortage of attorneys who will take an injury case with no money down on contingency knowing they're likely to recover their costs or much better.
Second, this isn't a government regulation, it's just a corporate decision by Jaguar to avoid a possible liability.
