Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the most updated navigation cd that is out for the x350 system? I only can find the 2012 cd, is that the last one available for our cars?

Thanks,

Mike

 

Where did you find the 2012 disc? I have the 2008 disc and would like an upgrade.

 

Sadly yes, 2012 was the last one for the X350/358

 

Jaguar Navigation DVD - NAVDVDMAPS.COM

I emailed to ask if there will be another upgrade beyond 2011-2012, but have not received a reply.

My 2006 SV8 had a 2008-2009 DVD in it when I bought it. Interesting to read that a burned copy will work also - might have to try that to keep the original as a backup.

Edit: read about using a copy here:

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ion-dvd-64620/

 

Does anyone on the forums sell burned copy's of the 2012 disk? I bought my 2003 (last update for the X100 XK's on the forums for $10.

Thanks

 

Don't use a burned disc get a secondhand original off eBay

 

Why is using a burned dvd bad?

 

I bought one and it locked my screen took it out and put the old one back in worked fine , got a secondhand one of eBay also they can burn out the laser reader as some people have found out

 

I have had not problem with the one I bought from a forum member in my XKR. But that will be something to look into.

Thanks.

 

Can anyone explain how using a burned DVD copy could "burn out the laser reader"? Just curious.

 

That's not true. Not saying you can't get a bad disc, but that's not true tho...

 

There has been a few people who have had trouble with copy discs it's been said that the laser has to work harder to read the disc and runs hotter , from personal experience when I run a copy disc that I got off eBay and after a hour the screen locked lucky I had the old one in the car put that back in then had to remove the battery terminal and do a hard reset . Contacted the seller they returned my money and let me keep the disc never used it again bought a secondhand original from eBay no problems since wish they would do a up to date one nice to know they don't burn out the laser

 

Like I say, there can be bad copies; since I've had my car, the disc I've had is from the guy I found from this forum 'T.C Martin' that was doing them for $50. Almost a yr & a half with no issues. It's no different than someone with a 'copied' movie, some may work perfect for most, & then there will be someone that says "man that crap is CRAP".

Actually, I sent an IMAGE of my DVD copy to someone on the forum back some months ago, & as far as I know, they've not had any issues. That'd be a copy of the copy going through the cloud, downloaded & then burnt.

 

I have heard that if burnt using a MAC it works great, but burnt using a PC and any of the usual Iso burners they fail.

Go figure..

 

Ppl with Macs usually say stupid things like such. That's no where near true ppl... I say this with 100% assurance...

 

Did anyone buy the 2012 map from the vendor on this thread? any feedback?

 

I'd be interested in hearing also.

 

It's not that burned dvd's are bad, it's just that the system takes only 1 type of dvd-rewriteable media (DVD-RW and not DVD+RW)

In any case, I have no desire to update or even use mine as the whole Jaguar sat-nav experience is plagued by slowness and frequent freeze-ups. My smartphone/Google Maps fits perfectly inside the cigarette lighter cubbyhole and works great!

Cheers,
Wolfy

 

Jaguar Part # 1X43-10E898-BK

The above is for a 2011-2012 USA and Canada NAV DVD

Its what I use in my 2005 XJR . The Jaguar NAV works just fine for me and I do not find it slow at all. Of course its not up to date but thats not a problem for me on Cape Cod where I use it the most or in Maine. I do not use it in MD as I do not need to.

If you do a search on Yahoo you will find some vendors who have it.

 

Thanks, Wolfy. Thats good to know if I decide to burn a backup copy.

Ours works pretty well once I figured out the search area choices which divide our usual driving area in two. It seems to work as fast as our "Naggy Maggie" Magellian Roadmate; I just wish she (it?) had an english accent to go with the car. I am guessing the European ones might sound a bit more British.
