Hacking the NAVI system
It's just a theoretical point - hasn't anyone ever tried doing something interesting with the navigation system on the 2003-2008 jags? I mean - it's a touchscreen and the GUI is so oldschool...
Wouldn't it be nice to at least have it as a media center looking something like say Zune HD tv out interface: http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/08/14...slick-as-hell/
I usually drive with the black "Logo screen" on, I would really love to use the screen for more than that.

You can use it as a clock if you get the firmware upgrade. Now THATs useful for that 5" screen! 
...wait, youve got an S-type, not sure if you guys get clocks or not. sorry. jumped in too quick

There is a clock in the "logo screen" mode. Quite a use indeed for a 5" screen.
As Clarkson says in Top Gear - I went to the internet today and I found this - http://www.navtv.com/product/32/audi...nterfaces.html
I know it's mostly the same thing as the OEM TV tuner, but maybe they could do something neat with it..
I think I'll ask some local geniuses for ideas.

Yeah, I imagine that. This would be quite cool. But you could probably find a better setup for web usage.
It would be great if you could use some sort of a unix based setup that would make use of the touchscreen and turn the OEM screen into a better looking media player. I mean I'm sure that everything could look more like the new Jag interface or at least what BMWs, Nissan's or Mitsubishi's have. It's not that I want anything much more.

I've just ordered the NAV-INJAG module. Planning to use the two input sources for a rear view camera and the other one for a netbook.
It's my intention to get internet via a 3g modem (HSDPA), control the computer via Air Mouse Pro for my iphonecand get some tv-out connected to the NAV-INJAG.
I think this is, everything taken into account, a relative easy upgrade.
Actually one of my worst concerns is how to turn on and off the netbook, if it is going to be mounted in the trunk.
A netbook is around $400, tv-out cable is around nothing, and the iPhone is allready in my pocket, so worst case isn't that bad...

About half of this page will be of interest to you:

(The other half is about my Dension Bluetooth wild-goose-chase, but you'll figure that out.)

Beechnd,
You might be interested in the iPhone intergration I just did for my 08 XKR. I assume the ACM behaves the same in your XJR as it does in my XKR. I picked up the Kuda mount and DICE passthough dock on eBay for $100 for both.
Pics can be seen here:
