How do I program a another touchscreen using sdd 145? everything is setup correctly on my hp laptop just asking a ahead of time as the dealer still has my car.

I could not figure out the issue with my infotainment system black screen due to a leak from the windshield into the cabin filter area. which has since been fixed but caused my screen to start flashing then the next day it went all black.

I know my screen was possibly a issue as I attempted to diagnose it and noticed it would send a red light signal via fiber optics for 30 secs max even when I looped it. dealer confirmed it was the screen.

 

I presume your car is the 09 XF in your name?

You would need to talk to your dealer to confirm there have or have not been any TSB's related to your particular year's touchscreen that required re-flashing.

Can you define what you mean by reprogramming? Are you looking to simply replace the module with a like one from eBay or the like or are you adding features? Replacement is done from the service functions>add new module. If you need to restore features, that is done by updating the CCF.

Assuming you're swapping only, here are some SDD best practices from Jaguar:
Facts and Best Practices When Working With Replacement Control Modules and SDD.

Jaguar Land Rover Service Diagnostics would like to remind all SDD users of the following facts and best practices when working with replacement control modules.

F ACTS:

SDD is designed to collect and store data collected from the start of any service session, for later use during diagnostics for various purposes.

Control module data including (but not limited to) DTC’s, hardware and software numbers, key/security data, serial numbers, VIN, Odometer, Car Configuration, and component calibration values captured at session start is often used later when performing various programming and calibration functions using SDD.

SDD presumes data read from modules at session start, are always EXISTING control modules with information and software programmed into a vehicle at the time of manufacture.

The Jaguar Land Rover service part supply system is a globally universal system that is only expected to deliver control module “hardware” that is compatible for the vehicle specification, but the “software” and final configuration is expected to be completed by SDD during control module configuration “as New” routines.

Fitting new control modules to vehicles before starting a new SDD service session can often lead to improper configuration, or complete programming failures when attempting to use SDD to initialize, configure or program new modules later in that session.

BEST PRACTICES:

Never start a new SDD session with any control modules fitted to the vehicle that are NOT considered “original” equipment, or previously replaced and correctly configured service parts.

When “existing” components are not available, (e.g. sublet work, body shop, etc.) or non-functional for any reason, replacement parts should not be fitted before starting a new SDD service session.

If necessary, unplug the new component, remove power fuse, or relay etc. to prevent SDD from reading any information from the replacement parts during session start.

Only fit replacement control modules, (or restore power etc.) just before launching the required SDD function to configure that module, unless stated otherwise within a specific Jaguar Land Rover service publication.

If a session was incorrectly started with un-programmed replacements fitted, starting a new session, or repeating the vehicle data collection process with the original part, or no part fitted is strongly advised before running any programming or configuration routines on SDD.

New components incorrectly, or partially configured during a session that was not started correctly, may be difficult to recover and configure correctly even if a new session is started with the original/no component fitted.

 

I'll add that I'm not familiar with SDD version 145 but as far as I know, the versions are updates to vehicles, and there was no significant changes to SDD GUI interface.

 

Thanks Sean W., I'm replacing a bad touchscreen, with another one. Dealer still has the car and the screen is on the way. Hoping to replace and flash on my own. Bad thing is I believe I have another module that is no good, but I need to replace the screen and go from there. I'll post back with an update sometime this week. thanks again
