Hi All,

I have a 2009 Jaguar SV8 and I was hoping there was a way to hack the system to allow me to upload my own wallpaper/screensavers.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks to be able to do this? I've already gone through the engineer/service/nav secret menu's and haven't found anything of interest.

Please do let me know.

Thanks!

 

I have documented this hidden menu in the Nav screen that can give you access to many options. I am not sure which code will allow you to add a wallpaer but I know it can be done here as that is how the techs do it. They add the Jaguar, Bower&Wilkins,etc wallpapers in this menu. Just need to type a few more codes in to get the right one. Enjoy:

There is a secret diagnostic screen in the Navigation System on the XF.
WARNING ? IT IS SAFE TO ENTER DIAGNOSTIC MODE, BUT CHANGE SETTINGS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
To enter diagnostic mode do the following...
1. Press the Navigation button on the Menu.
2. Accept the Sat Nav Disclaimer Message.
3. Enter Diagnostic mode by pressing the top centre (Top Edge) of the screen for approximately 5 seconds.
4. Enter a pin code of 660, 661, 662, 9448, 295660
5. It is safe to browse the settings, but change the settings at your own risk.
Other pin codes allow you into different settings.

Thanks for your reply - I've gone through all of the secret menu's and haven't found anything of use. I've even gone through the sub folders of the secret menu.

Could you be more specific on which one it's under?

 

BigCat09 would you have access to other pin codes for other settings? where can one find a master list of such codes and settings?

 

Sorry I do not. It took me daysjust to find all this info. I bet any dealer tech can get a fast print out of it all.

 

nope, we have no reason to need to access it and didnt know it was there, but now.....
that stuff is engineering and tech line knowledge need to know, and well we just havent needed to know. theres alot of stuff that these car do and access programs etc.. but many is done and used at build and port or in testing.

 

I just went and checked. Alot of that stuff is what we can see or do with our laptops/sdd
