Hi there everyone!

I`ve spend hours with browsing trough post about fitting a touch sreen unit into X-types but I would still have a few questions for you guys if you don`t mind.
I`m wondering if it`s possible to fit the touch screen unit without the actual sat nav module and the dvd rom, as I wouldn`t use it for navigation anyway, but I would love to get a nice and tidy touch screen instead of the forest of buttons on the middle console!
I`ve already have the right touch screen module with the windshield heating button.
In my understanding i will definetly need a RCC module and a custom wiring loom to connect it to the touch screen.My car is fitted with the auto climate controll module.
I found a "how to make the wiring loom" pdf, but unfortunately it`s far too complicated for me...
I`m wondering if anyone could sell me one of those for a reasonable price...
Sorry if this topic is already covered!
Thank you very much!

Hi G1985,
I am in the middle of a Sat Nav retrofit to my X-type Jag as i havent got all the parts.
To answer your question you cant just decide you want a touch screen just because you dont want to use buttons, the sat nav touch screen is designed to work with a dvd module, fibre optic harness, satnav harness, GPS antenna, heater module as minimum package others can be added like cd changer, steering controls and bluetooth/phone. You might as well get the minimum package, because its not a plug and play system and even if you dont use navigation its there for you. Mine came as basic stereo head unit and i have added a cd changer to it which i am enjoying at the mo. Good luck

 

Well thanks a lot for your answers guys!It seems like I have a Touch screen unit for sale than! :-)

 

Hi G1985
How much would you sell your touch screen? what colour is the unit and is it the one with a tape or cd player? Does it have both front and rear heated screen botton or just rear screen?

 

It is just the touch screen unit without any tape or cd player.It is black and it has the front windshield heating button.Make me an offer! :-)

 

 

I am not sure if this will work within my existing wiring system because i have the basic heater/ac without heated front windshield and its grey, whilst your unit is black. It will distort the appearance. Looking at it again are you sure its black and not a dark grey shade as i can see from your pix. Please confirm.

 

I'm at work but I will make some more pictures as soon as I get home.

 

Aiight no probs, i dont mind if the colour is a little darker so long its grey. Let me have your phone no and i will make an offer if the confirmed colour is an off grey.

 

The earlier models were dark grey, later (Facelift in UK) were lighter grey almost silver! And as said above the Screen is a slave unit, all the display graphics comes from the DVD drive in the boot(trunk)

 

Hi euanT,
Yeah you are correct, my X-type is the earlier version without satnav, cd changer and Bluetooth/phone, which is grey in colour, but depending on how one sees colours it may appear a little dark or a little light.

 

Well I took some pictures of it next to my original middle console witch is I would call it gun metal grey.

 

I guess it is dark grey...

 

Hi G1985,
Yes that's the colour of mine dark grey or gun metal grey.
Is it in good working order? I'll like to make an offer .

 

Well I never had a chance to try it but I bought it as a fully working unit,so it have to work.What I can offer is if you wish to purchase it and it isn`t working, I`ll pay you back (the full amount), you send it back to me and I`ll try to contact the seller.But lets cross that bridge when we get to it! What would be the offer?

 

Aiight, I'll work with that. I will like to offer you £40 delivered, i am considering the other parts I need to buy like the dvd unit, wiring loom and GPS antenna.

 

If acceptable I'll make payments on the 25/04/16 using PayPal.

 

if you can make it 45+postage, than it`s yours.
