Default Interior question

Hi I'm after a bit of advise I have a 2007 xjl
I just want to know how rare if it even is is it to have 2 rear seats in the back with like a centre console in the middle
The centre console has buttons for the radio the TV and the dvd player
Also the TV is analogue so that doesn't work is there away to change it to get digital signal?

Thanks

It is rather very rare, I think that kind of back seat was only in daimler version. TV has its own module, so there is no way to replace it with digital tv module, You could not programe it, but addind an indepedent DVBT decoder is quite simple. For me it is useless, I would rather rebuild all rear infotainment by adding something built on a raspberry comp.

Of course there is. Basically you "have space".. and can put just about ANYTHING in there that will fit - screen ++ for Starlink, game console.... There's a TON of "goodies" made for auto, truck, 'sleeper cab', camper-RV, marine use.

Yes, you will need to invest planning effort, time, money....patience.. etc. Whether DIY or hired done, not much of it is "turnkey" or "drop-in".

Personally? I would rather convert such space to store a fireblanket, first aid kit, rain poncho, snacks or bottled water, an OBDC scanner, tissue / paper towel dispenser.. ... any/all of which could be arguably more USEFUL than a micro-Tee Vee that's too DAMNED small for comfortable viewing, regardless..

Pragmatically? I couldn't be bothered wasting any time on it at all, let alone money.

Far too many OTHER things on an aging motorcar than need constant injections of TLC ..... and funds.

You did say it was a "Jaguar?"
