I have a 2012 XFR, it is USA specification and of course the new hard drive navigation is loaded with US mapping. I shall be using the car in Europe for the next eighteen months. Is there any way of downloading the European mapping?

I have spoken to Jaguar stateside and they refered me to UK, neither can help. All I got was that the systems were incompatible! I am reluctant to beleive this as I previously owned a USA spec 2009 XFS, which used the DVD discs. Jaguar told me that the European discs would not function on my car. Guess what, they functioned perfectly.

Any help would be much appreciated, I really do not want to use an aftermarket navigation, even if it means changing the HDD.

 

Does anyone know if the new navigation HDD (hard disc drive), fitted to the New XJ and 2012 XF that contains the navigation mapping, can be reprogrammed to take other mapping not contained on the drive? For example a USA version contains only US / Canadian maps.
If I want to use the vehicle in Europe, how do you load the maps. The EU system has mapping for westen Europe and additionaly mapping for Russia and South Africa, which can be activated by the dealer, on payment of the relevant fee!

Easy with the former DVD drive system, just insert the relevant disc. Even though Jaguar stated the formating of the US / European systems was different / incompatible, this was bul****,they worked perfectly. Jaguar USA and Jaguar UK have no answers!

One of the main reasons for this new system, is to protect copyright and the illegal sale of Navtech discs. Can anyone help?

 

I have a similar question myself, looking to load maps of a different region onto a Hard Disk in an 2011 XJ, getting mixed messages from UK dealers, some say it can't be done, and some sales people say it should be possible. Has anyone found a solution to this issue since the first post in this thread 12 months ago?

 

This place looks like they might be able to help

They certainly look like they'd be able to offer advice. I've not found anything else in my searching.
