Just found out that you can rest an ipad in the apple case perfectly on the x type's center console. The angle is perfect and the ipad just covers the CD and Audio controls section! The Sport mode button near is shift knob acts as a stopper and prevents the ipad from slipping.

The placement is surprisingly stable with almost no movement even in the pretty rough roads we have currently in the DC area (massive re-construction projects under way).

iPad offers:
1. HD GPS Navigation

2. Video, audio (including services like Pandora, Live TV, XM etc) when connected to the ACM.

3. Ability to move ipad around to back seat and use as a video device since the ACM is under the center console

4. You can charge the ipad from the power socket which is directly behind the ipad so it looks pretty neat.

My interior is mocha/champagne and the ipad case is black so you can see the case in the console. On a friends X type with black interior it actually look like a built in unit!

So for all of you with iPads and x types...there's another use of the iPad. Looks like the center console design of the x type was done keeping something like this in mind

 

anything I can do to help get it up!

 

So i am building a set of self leveling center caps, but I can't find anyone to make the actual logo stickers or elements to go on the caps. I have an idea of what I want (Pictured) but I need the silver elements to look like actual aluminum. Any ideas of how to go about this? I also wanted to do left and right side so they always face forward.

 

Wouldn't you have a licensing issue using official logo's or have you already reached an agreement with Jaguar? They look nice, good luck with the project.

 

I have been on many forums, the Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Audi and I have to admit the X type is the smallest I've been on. I think part of the problem is there aren't that many X types out there, at least not here in New England. Since I bought my 03 back in June I have seen 3 X types and 1 S type. When I owned my Benz I'd see plenty of them almost everyday, ditto on the BMW and Audi. Jaguar's always had a bad rap for being an unreliable car, funky electrics, engine problems so IMHO Jaguar is finally producing a fine cars and it is going to take time before they take off. The other thing is the X type had a short model run 02 to 08 that is not much time for a model, especially a Euro car. The benz I had started production in 94 and is still being produced today, same for the BMW and Audi and the Porsche I had. Long production more questions.

 

not really sure what your point is adam?

 

My point is there aren't to many X types around and perhaps the people who bought them are not car crazy like us.

 

Perhaps not I was thinking someone might already have a leaper style wheel badge out there vs the growler but am having no luck. I have my existing growler badges I could use but I wanted leapers as I think they look better. All else fails I could contact jag about personal use and see what they would charge me to use their emblem.

 

Champions League campaign begun yesterday and Ranger did a good job by holding United at Old Trafford

I'm just happy Rangers did not meet Arsenal last night Cadillac, I dont think anybody would of kept them out on that form.

In reply to mikenmikena's post : Is this what your looking for?

 

Hi, Adam! You might not have many X Types in New England but there are plenty in Virginia Beach. They're all over the place here. I love mine. I get a car and keep it till the wheels fall off. I kept my Chrysler mini van till nothing worked but the radio when I finally junked her at about 200k miles. I want my Jag to last and last and maybe buy another model Jag later, too. I just can't get over how complicated they are though.

 

Well, I think that Man Utd were luckt to hold Rangers to a draw so there ya go!
The boys in Blue did well though and looks like the "other" boys in blue didn't start any trouble either so it was all good!

 

If only Miller or Nikica Jelavic (ineligble, I know) was in on goal instead of Papac I'm sure Super Ally at one point was warming up trying to get on the park.

 

Lol...I can hear the chants.....SUPER ALLY, SUPER ALLY OWAY OWAY OWAY...........old schools right

 

The benz was the longest I ever owned a cars 8 years, When I was younger I use to buy a car ever two or 3 years. The jury is out on the Jaguar, I am not sure if it's going to be a reliable car and the rust problems people are having prior to 07 cars has me concerned, as the construction of the sill area is bizarre to say the least. The Benz is probably the best car I ever owned and I owned them all Chevy, Ford, Porsche, BMW, MG, Austin Healy, VW. To name a few.

 

hi,
hope this helps with your averages!!

For our members in the UK. When does M. O.T. stand for? I know it is a inspections procedure, and I have heard it is very precise, rust will flunk you. Also, what is the difference between A and B roads. Finally what is this 50 pound tax to drive your car in London?

 

MOT = Ministry of Transport
check the link to see what is involved in an MOT.....basically its a once a year check on every vehicle over 3 years old to check its road worthiness!

 

Rangers grabbed 3 points by beating bursaspor ,that was a decent victory

Well Done Rangers

 

Compared what they check in an MOT the state inspection here in Ma is a joke. Thanks!
