Hello all,

We all know and respect the analog clock located in our Jag's dashboard.

I recently saw someone has a digital clock on his car's upper right touch screen, (as shown).

(It's a good idea synchronized it to other area on planet Earth
;-)))...

Is it an inherent part/feature in our cars model?

 

On 350/8s that's only a feature on later cars and then only on ones fitted with the additional digital radio option, ie DAB, [or presumably (in the US) satellite radio].

 

Here's some info on a retrofit if you're interested. It's a great write up.

OK,

Tough luck as my vehicle's VIN is few thousands BELOW "Jaguar" mentioned range...
Although, I still like my cat even under this HARD situation. ;-)))

 

Even if it were in-range the bits really aren't cheap.

The tuner is over £500 new but can be had for about £80-120 secondhand. However, the killer is the 'gateway', which is an interface between the tuner and the rest of the hifi system; that's also over £500 new and secondhand, quite apart from cost (which will be high if the vendor realises what it is) ... they are very very rare.

 

The digital clock I think is there if the navigation setup is for the S Type X202 or X Type X400 instead of the X350 - keeping in mind the former do not have an analog clock. I think you can change the navigation in the XJ to setup for the S or X Types and get the digital clock but have not yet tried and don't know what other differences there will be. Mercedes in the W221 has an analog clock but also a digital clock in the nav screen - it sort of feels like it's missing in the X350.
