Default OEM Jaguar radio unit upgrade, sort of

I thought only Porches were doing this for their loyal customers for their vintage 911s but JLR has that as well.

I wish they would make one for our x308 one day soon.

Agreed. It would be great if JLR would do this for the 308s. That said, I am not sure I would pay the USD equivalent of 1,000 GBP for one just because it says Jag on the faceplate!

if they could make it really nice (like really OEM look) , I am willing to pay around 1K. consider all the modification works/labors people have done here for the aftermarket upgrades. if that is plug and play. it is pricy but not too ridiculous.

I’ll amend my comment re not paying 1,000 GBP for one to ... if it were $1k USD, had GPS navigation, satellite radio built-in, a backup camera function, Bluetooth that worked with my Iphone and car speakers, and either had multi-disc CD or worked off the trunk CD changer, I’d pay that as an installed price.
