It also doesn't need to be reloaded every few minutes - unlike this site...

When I say slow, I mean respond to anything, not just nav. I hate the fact that once you hit the parking sensor button, it takes at least 5 seconds for them to activate and tell me I'm about to hit the wall that I'm staring at or already stopped for and are backing up. Or anything similar to that. From any screen, if you use the hard buttons on the left side if the screen for example to switch from navy to sat radio or vice versa, anything you press you have to wait for excessively until it reacts.
It's kinda like if Microsoft all a sudden started selling windows 3.1 in 2016... i don't know, maybe it's just me, but I absolutely hate the slowness of the infotainment system and it's extremely disappointing for a car at this price point.

Okay, mine doesn't do that. The only bit that could be called slow is destination entry - and that's because it's checking what I've typed vs. what it knows.

So, when you enter the UK equivalent of a Zip Code, it checks each key press is valid, and then only allows me to type keys that are in its database of UK Zip Codes.

The rest is pretty much instantaneous.

... And yet, it's only a feature of this site. And appears to be related to the way in which the adverts are presented...

I've used the old blue and white system (pre 2011) then the black and white hard drive setup (2011 to about 2015) and now have 2 cars with the 8 inch 2016 system. I'm finding the 2016 to be the quickest out of them all, and the easiest to use. The black and white was by far the slowest, and I thought the hardest to use because there was too much clutter on the home screen and I'd keep hitting the wrong button. I havent used the new 10 inch one yet, so I dont know how it compares.

Mine's a UK supplied car and I have to admit, I think the system is slow. This, compared to, say, a Garmin stand-alone unit which I used previously. I am even thinking of reverting to a windscreen-mounted Garmin rather than the built-in system. I have found that some postcode inputs are not recognised, which is a travesty. However, when the full postal address is input, the 'unrecognised' postcode appears in the address! A bit weird; a bit annoying and definitely (in my case) too slow.

Mines def not slow, press the hard buttons and they react pretty much straight away.
Using the sat nav the screen buttons have a slight lag but nothing thats annoying.

Ohh this might be true. I have an ad blocker running on my browser, so the site runs normal for me.

Default Possibility of updating Infotainment System

Hi guys,
this question might be somewhat premature but I'll still pose my question. Would it be possible to update our outdated NAV & Infotainment system with the new upcoming Infotainment system. My guess is no due to different harnesses and different wiring. But I am not an expert with electronics and I'm sure there is a member who have s very knowledgeable to answer this question. Thank you

I will echo what has been said about the speed of the new system. I had a brand new rental XF last weekend from my Jag dealer when my car was in for service and honestly, I thought the system was slower than the one in my 2014 F-Type. I hated using the XF system in comparison.
