It's *SO* rare that it is an issue, but that blows my mind every time I am on a call, and someone can hear that sound. How is that not omitted in engineering?

Anyhoo.....

P.S. I think it's specifically illegal in the United States to have video that can be seen by the driver play while the car is in motion.
Thanks Unhinged on New Mex! =)

Telematics (that's what they are calling a car screen that *could* play a movie) is super illegal.

Telematics - AAA Digest of Motor Laws

So... it's a Jag glitch, the driver isn't in New Mexico but overseas, or we need video confirmation of this. If you really have it, I would invest time understanding the trigger that made it happen.

I recall someone discussing how to make DVDs play while driving, a few years ago. Not that I advocate that in any way. Watch the movie on your cellphone, like seemingly everyone else on the road.

I bought my 2017 F-Type R about 2 weeks ago from the Barrett Jaguar dealership in San Antonio.

Couple days ago, I noticed that the air nozzle caps on the wheels where green with "N2" on them.

Called the dealership and they said they fill the tires with Nitrogen. Was pleasantly surprised.

OK folks, please avoid the urge to jump on this one. We've suffered through this debate too many times before.

His dealer gave a bonus added value. Glad to hear it. Whether it's a real benefit or an imaginary one is separate from the fact that his dealer gave him a bonus. Cool.

Yes, whether it makes a difference over regular air, it was just simply pretty cool to find out that they did it.

Regardless, the thread title is, "Name Something You Discovered About Your F-Type AFTER You Bought It."

And, I didn't no the tires were N2 filled until after I bought the car.

I just found out:

If you're are dumb enough to stick your fingers in between the auto roll up window and window frame, as soon as it detects a blockage, it manually rolls down, immediately.

Unhinged, I'm in the US of A! New Mexico, My friends F type R 2017 also does the same thing with DVDs, but the S seemingly doesn't.

Default Stealth mode

I was driving at night in dynamic mode digging the scarlet dash lights when I decided to turn on stealth mode. I thought this only turned off the monitor. To my surprise, it turned way down all of the dash lights except the headlight indicator light.

I have been trying to upload multiple CD's into my F-Type S with no luck. Is this just a feature of the R's, or out of country, or is there a trick I am missing, or due to my lack of technical prowess(quite likely). Tried inserting little round thingy in the little thin slot thingy. Music played from that little thingy, but only that one. would not store. Tried inserting another. Same result. No store, no sale.

You have to go to CD changer mode, pick a CD number, then download it while the car is on. Takes about 29 minutes per CD. This gives the best sound other than the CD itself. It will hold ten CDs.

The first time I did download a CD, I was blown away. How long it took! Never did a second download.
