We all know the F-Type has connectivity, but I wish the range were a bit longer. The connection will cut out if you leave the phone in your shirt pocket. Phone has to be right of center of the steering wheel for the connection to be reliable. Obviously, not an issue for those of you with a bonnet & boot instead of a hood & trunk.

Interesting. I leave it in my left pants pocket, and have never had an issue, although I don't use it all that much via BT.

I agree the range is not great. I also use the usb to change and stream music rather than Bluetooth for music. The biggest problem I have is the audio connection does not always get picked up if I disconnect the phone to get out of the car and then get back in a few minutes later. I have to plug and unplug a couple of times to get it to recognize the device.
I got the Scosche mount recommended in another thread, and will see if that helps.
Thanks for helping me connect the dots.

Mine works fine in the center console or tossed on the passenger seat, but real spotty when it's in my shirt pocket.

I have a 2016 ftype r and can't get a simple answer from Jaguar or my dealership re apple carplay or remote start. Can anyone answer: Does apple carplay work with Jag in Canada and does the remote start app work in canada. My car has the hardware for incontrol apps. Thanks

In my 2014 V8S, my iPhone pairs perfectly, but I can't stream music if my iPod is also connected to the USB. Overall I'm really disappointed with the infotainment system. It's definitely worse than my last three cars ('13 Mercedes, '11 Audi, '08 BMW). Kind of sad that a 2008 vintage tech system had better features and connectivity given the pace of advancement in smartphones, etc. I am liking my Jag a lot (especially with the top down), but the driver experience falls down when it comes to the Nav / Audio / Interface. The lack of a physical wheel or pad to quickly navigate menus or lists is a huge part of the problem. All of the German makes have this figured out.

I have the same car, and agree. The level of tech of the Infotainment screen is lacking. However, if you mount your iPhone on the dash, the experience is complete. I use Waze for my nav (NEVER leave home without it!), and play my own playlist or Pandora thru the USB. I have access to everything on my phone, and it charges while I drive. I have everything I need at my fingertips.

The BT device needs to be to the right (left for right hand steering) of the center of the steering wheel. Spotty if in the left shirt/jacket pocket, never any problem in a right jacket pocket.
