I have a Jaguar X-Type, 2007, 2.2D, European. I do not have a SATNAV device and installing an original one s cumborsome as have to work on new wirings etc...
I found some chinese vendors with devices for Jaguar X-type that would go by replacing the current stereo system (so the air-con will remain as it is). They state in the specs: "Existing steering wheel controls COMPATIBLE". Does anyone have experience? Is that a statement can be trusted ? Because if it involves programming/wiring modification/adapters, I prefer to know before buying. I believe the model I have, has not a CAN bus ( or does it?).

Replacing the original stereo will require something on the body control module?

Thank you

 

could you supply a link to the devise so we can take a look please.
I did my factory nav upgrade last year.

Both nice units but any (slim limited space behind the unit))double din unit should work.

I don`t know where I found it but I did see someone who moved the AC/Heater controls down to where the radio is and added the double din unit above them which did look a lot more "factory"
I will see if I can find it but that was a few years back when I was looking into the option but decided to go with the factory NAV upgrade.

 

The steering controls are hard wired.
I have attached the electrical drawing for reference.
