Thank you again and congratulations on your work, even if I don't speak English, your explanations and videos are very precise
I had exactly the same problem with the first seller and after they didn't replace the faulty canbus box I contacted PayPal and the money was transferred back to my account. I offered to send the head unit back if they payed for it and haven't heard anything from them since. I bought a second unit from a different seller on aliexpress and all is fine. If you find out where to get a new one let me know 👍

Thanks for your very quick response. I will also contact PayPal. Without wanting to abuse it, from which seller did you buy your new car radio? cordially

Hi All, finally received the RHD version of Tesla screenfor my 2015 XF 250. Thanks to Dennis for the great videos. All working ok but may have the dreaded Chinese characters in the instrument cluster problem. Will work on this tomorrow. Can I use the factory microphone and gps antenna? I suspect not with the microphone but was wondering on the gps if a fakra male to sma female would bridge the cables. Does anyone know if this would work.

Thanks Dennis, watched all your videos before I started, really appreciate the effort that you and the fabulous cinematographer went to. May have missed the GPS antenna bit. Suspect I don’t have the cable that bridges the stock GPS (blue connector I think) to the new Tesla style unit. Keep up the videos…. Brett

Has anyone used this head unit as a dash cam? I'm thinking of using the supplied front cam and OEM rear cam as a dual camera dash cam setup that automatically boots and starts recording when I start up the system. Is this possible?

Dennis, in a bind here, maybe you can help—looked at a beautiful 2009 XF yesterday, has the Tesla upgrade installed—we tried for a while to get radio on, could not get it to work—after our test drive, we parked that car and about 3 minutes later the alarm randomly started going off—I would love to buy the car, it’s a great price and low mileage but I’m concerned the install is not done correct— is there anything simple I can check? Thank you for all your support on this

Correct, no sound at all from the speakers—not even static —the volume went up and down in the screen and we tried manually tuning to local stations, not a sound was heard —the salesman at the dealer said it had to be connected to Wi-Fi?

Tell salesman or manager to fix it or go to Jaguar and or audio business and get a quote to revert back or repair existing issue… or I’ll walk. If the dealer traded it in locally they can always contact previous seller and ask for input. Look at carfax to see where it’s from.

Hopefully it’s a quick fix… please post results.

Thx for the quick responses—the USB was hanging out of the shifter console ( by drivers leg)—- I did tell them to straighten it out and I would gladly come back again—they said they would reach out to the tech and also said they still have the original radio set up— I will get an update
