Plastic screen in overhead?

I do not think so. The map lights are in front of the 3 rocker switches. There is no light that comes from the dark plastic rectangle. I have tried to make it drop down as if it were some sort of storage area... it does not move....
There is nothing in the owners manual about it. either. If I was off warranty, I would get out my tools......LOL
I am stumped....

Plastic cover
I went to Autobahn Jaguar to schedule a 32K maint and asked the service manager. He said it had 'something' to do with the seat airbags. I asked how it did that and he didn't know. So I come up a bit short on the purpose for it. I'll keep nosing around to find something more detailed.
It would seem someone on this forum would know. Maybe if I ask the question in the proper part of the forum I could find out???? Bound to be a certified Jag mechanic on this forum that knows.

Hailers, Thank you for your investigative work. I too am finding no-one truly knows what it is for. I have asked several Jag technicians at the dealer even the service manager all have different ideas as to what it is for.
I have snooped around the web sight but have found noting that address this issue.
Maybe you will get lucky and come up with the answer.
Thanks again Dave

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/g...3/#post1974510 I made another thread about this in the General Tech Forum. See the link prior to these words.
I might mention that I was irritated that I could not block out the Nav screen at night. On my other cars I can do this by pressing a button. Then only the inst cluster is lit and I can dim it, the cluster alone, when driving hours and hours at night, to save my night vision.
So after owning the car for a few months, I asked the man at the dealership I bought it from. He didin't know. So I got some black 'art' paper and cut out a section to match the screen. Then when driving at night I put that art paper over the screen.
Well a month ago, while fiddling around with screen settings, by blind luck I found it, the Nav screen, could be blacked out at night by pressing a button. The reason I mention this is to show that even the service advisors aren't 100 percent up to knowing 'everything' on the car(s) they sell. I give 'em some slack over things like this. But they should 'bust ***' trying to find out the answer for the customer imho.

Looking at the electrical schematics for the 2018/2019 models the IR headphone transmitter is apparently still located between the two roof blinds in the middle of the car, as with the earlier models and in XJsss' photo above.
The front overhead console does not appear to have anything located behind the panel being questioned:
It does look like it was intended to have a pivoting part in there, maybe for a glasses holder as fitted to the previous X350 XJs.
Or it is possible the schematics have not been updated and that panel would cover the IR transmitter if equipped, but is just a blanking plate elsewhere. Someone with the RSE and/or top-level sound option in a 2018/2019 car would be able to tell us if they still have the central roof transmitter or not.
You can just reach up and unclip that entire panel from the rear edge and have a look - there are only two clips as shown above, then it is hooked under at the front.

That button blanks the nav screenbut also dims the instrument panel. I wanted the instrument panel bright and controled by the thumb wheel on the far left and down
This week I’m in CA pecking on a IPHONE. When I get back to TX Il’ll give an answer as to how to blank the nav screen without effecting the instrument panel lighting.....unless someone else answers first.
i know about the button reffered to in the above posrs and how it will blank the nav screen, But it will also dim the inst pnl lighting at the same time unless you configure it right.
tired ofpecking ona iphone now
