Scroll down the page until you find "Jaguar Navigation DVD Updates".

The current version has "BH" affixed to the tail end of the Jaguar Part Number.

I would be very interested in a confirmation that the "BH" edition actually works correctly - meaning that North American driving directions make sense.

My 2006 S Type came with a 2005 edition disc that works great except that the data has become dated. I bought the "BG" disc and found that while the map display was fine, the driving directions were completely nuts in most ways. Things like making a U turn from a freeway merge ramp or directing me to take a 200 mile round trip in the wrong direction to get to a destination only 40 miles from start. And worse. Directions ranging from silly to illegal and dangerous.

It took me quite a while to get either Navteq or Jaguar to believe this. Mostly they pointed fingers at each other and offered me nothing. However, my dealer stepped up and was able to observe exactly the same errors in every new and used Jag (all models) in stock with any disc dated after 2005 up through the "BG" version. Not just my car or my disc. There were eventually case numbers created by both companies last fall but I have heard nothing since and neither has the dealer. The dealer told me that mine was the first complaint received there but that they had another just a few weeks later.

So how's that "BH" disc working?

I have an 05 STR, and the 2008-09 DVD ending in BH worked perfectly. Loaded up in less than 5 minutes, navagation is right on. It is the North America/Canada version. When you call Navtech are they telling you that "BG" is the correct disc and not "BH"? I would assume the BH would work fine for you, but Im not an expert.

 

I moved from an original "BD" disc to a "BH" and have found no problem. Maps are a little more detailed in some geographic features.

I have a 2005 S-Type.

A belated followup. After 9 months of hassling with Navteq, they never agreed that the "BG" disc had a problem but they did take it back and refunded the price. The fact that my dealer could duplicate my problem in every available new and used S on the lot (including with other copies of the BG disc) weighed in.

When I bought the BG edition in late 2008, the BH edition was not yet available. It's good to hear from you here that the BH edition is working well for you. I assume that includes good destination routing instructions. I'm hoping to find a disc locally to try out in my car before ordering again. Once burned, twice shy! I really would like to have a more current disc!

Meanwhile, I tried to make a working copy of my BD disc as a precaution because the original has acquired some scratches (still works). My computer software tells me that I have burned a perfect copy on a DVD+R DL but the car won't read it. Screen says the copy is not a map disc even though it's an exact data dvd copy. I've read that others have made copies in the past so either I'm not doing it right or a security code has been incorporated.
