Hello all,
I have just purchased a 2013 XF 2.2 diesel, I always liked Jaguar and previously had an X type and loved it.
anyway way as the title suggests I would like to fit a reversing camera as one is not currently installed.
how difficult will this be ? I'd assume the wiring will be present in the main loom and id only need to plug in a short loom in the boot to comment to the camera, then maybe some coding?
has anyone here fitted one or knows what is needed .
merry Christmas to all.

 

firstly
it can be done, and has been done

but its a little more tricky than plug and play

firstly , the boot loom has to be ' camera enabled' as in it has the coax cable to carry the video signal , this is done via a ' Fakra ' coax plug in the loom , if not, you will have to hard wire one in ,

again , another issue is the video link to the display unit in the dash , if the Fakra cable is installed, its a plug it in and enable the option via the CCF software, if no cable, you need to run a short link from the back of the display to the plug under the gear selector unit ( GSM ) , as the main loom is pre-wired to that point and to the boot lid connector ,

i would do some investigation first, and if you find the plugs, go for it

Awesome information, thanks.
ill have to check the boot wiring loom and pull the headunit so to find out if I need extra looms..
