Default Calling all AUST/NZ F-Type Owners - New GPS map disks

Title says it all.

We have sourced genuine supply of Jaguar NavShop Denso format GPS map update disks for Australia (current Ver 22) and New Zealand (current Ver 11) for F-Type (2014 - 2016). Current price with 40% discount is AU or NZ $117 + $8.50 p&p

While currently out of stock, we hope to attract sufficient demand, to get Jaguar Australia or TomTom ANZ to duplicate extra disks.

Have 2 members already . . . Anyone else?
It's now or never . . .

Cheers,
Ken

OxXFR how the heck do you cope with lowering springs in Aussie


Just wondering why you disabled the spoiler

The VAP springs are only a 7/8" drop so no problem, I just gotta watch out for speed humps and go careful over steep driveways etc.
I don't do much driving out donga these days so little or no crappy dirt roads to worry about.
I disabled the spoiler for four reasons:
1. Red rag to a bull for Plod having it come up at 113 km/h and not go down again until 80 km/h seeing as 99% of my driving is on roads with speed limits less than 110 km/h with lots of Plod hiding behind the bushes waving hairdryers and many points on my license already. Only a very slim chance that any Plod would know that raised spoiler = must have been doing at least 113 km/h but I don't want to take that chance.
2. It blocks too much of the already poor rear vision.
3. I don't like the look of it when raised from the driver's seat.
4. It achieves pretty much nothing.

Good idea, will disable the spoiler when I disable the stop start, I know what you mean about le plod.

Might look at a fixed spoiler as they look rather nice.

Hope we get some map buyers.

As you chaps may have noted, I have posted to all 3 forums . . . F-Type, XJ and XF.
Very slow uptake there, but along with Toan, you 2 chaps need to continue the push.

Best wishes,
Ken

You chaps have another starter . . . [fossberry] from the Hutt, NZ, wants same disk for 2011 XJ.
That makes 4 or 5 I think, for a short re-run of this out-of-stock Denso GPS Update
  • Nick
  • OzXFR
  • Toan
  • fossberry
Any more . . . ? Sheesh, over to you fellas to keep pushing and arrange.

Ken

Again, I hope you chaps (now 5) all realise I am neither seller nor agent.

My purpose, having purchased up-to-date disks for all my earlier Jags (and these are all still available), was to give everyone else a heads up.

Please refer to to my original posts in NSW or NZ Regional forums . . .
<https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...jaguar-247771/>

where I gave the following link to the Jaguar NavShop . . .
<https://jaguar.navshop.com.au/default.asp>

Either my original NSW or NZ posts or the linked site will answer all your questions.
And, I repeat, it is up to you chaps to organise . . . OK?

Cheers,
Ken

I went to Jaguar Canberra today to pick a part up, asked about a map update and basically said it was impossible unless I change the whole infotainment system + aerial as GPS works on a different frequency here in Aussie (Sorry, that last bit is Complete Rubbish)

I will contact JLR UK again I can't believe this.

Cambo!
Long time no hear/see!
Quick question - before I splash out on one of these discs I need to know if it will work to fix my knackered satnav system (you know the story) or not.

It is pretty much to the point where it would be better to stick a decent phone mount on and let Waze or Google Maps guide you. Real time, with warnings as well. And might be easier to control spotify.

And bought at a UK price! No idea about import costs, though ...

Ken am going to have to pull out of this , have had a reply from JLR and they confirm a new head unit is required to displace Aussie maps. They didn't tell me directly but suspect $10K + so not really worth doing that. Gutted and really annoyed at JLR.

Thanks Peter, though need to update my Signature to "Lost somewhere in Aussie"

SCM about to do an import post concerning how and how much. I am going to finish the import hopefully today by paying for Rego and it will be complete..

Mate I can absolutely guarantee you that you arent missing anything. The JLR NAV in my '16.5 model (I think it runs from an SD card) :
(a) seems to have maps created in about 1950;
(b) insists on taking me the long way anywhere;
(c) tells me about the corner I am meant to take about 5 metres after I have passed it;
(d) is socialist, in that it doesnt recognise the existence of private enterprise, so business addresses dont register;
(e) takes about 5 minutes to program, I'd rather get lost and call my wife for directions.

It would be quicker and more accurate to use a ouija board to get around. If it would cost you $1,000 to get the JLR system in I'd be suggesting you were wasting dough. I'm thinking of getting the Galaxy Fold as my next phone and if that could be set up on a mount it would make a fantastic NAV screen.
