when I look at the specs of what the xjr100 on the internet it says it has gps, did the Canadian edition not come with the gps, I just bought a xjr 100 but it only has the cd in the trunk, my car has the red stich seats , chrome xjr100 step plate,xjr100 on the wood, brembo brakes and the rims and badging, so I was wondering was the Canadian models different from the American? and how easy would it be to put a gps in it
thanks

I would be very surprised if your XJR100 did not have navigation.
Remove the left vertical trunk carpet to look at the location for the navigation module.
Maybe the previous owner replaced this trim with the CD only trim.
Frankly my guess would be that all XJR100 came with navigation and therefore either your was removed, the carpet trim was changed and you will find the module behind or.... your car is not a real XJR100
Do the console has red stiching? Is the outside trim around the windows chrome or black?
Yes, you can retrofit the gps. I can walk you through it but lets first find out about what you really have

 

Navigation was an option on the XJR, not sure about the XJR100.

It's worthless anyway. Why not buy a Garmin for $100, and be done with it?

 

this weekend ill take a look by removing the carpet, also it has the red stitching around the counsel and it has the black trim!

 

also my jag has the front sprayers were they optional, I look at pic from America of xjr100 and they don't have them?

 

here is a pic

 

some pics
I hope I got a xjr100 if not a very nice clone!

 

You have all the correct XJR-100 bits and pieces and I really doubt that someone would have spend the money, over $20K for sure, to add them to an XJR.
Just remove the carpet trim and take a couple of pictures of where the amp, CD and Nav module is/was.
There are some little things that will tell me if the nav was removed or not

 

I think front sprayers were standard on Canadian versions: my first X308 had them, it was a base Canadian market model.

 

Were there ever GPS map discs available for Canada to suit these old units? Some markets did not get maps...

 

here are the pictures of the cd changer area

 

looks like cd and amp

 

From the picture I can tell you that the navigation module was never installed in this car.
The 2 little small holes in front of the CD, on the horizontal part of the trunk would have Rive-nuts in it if the car came with Navigation from the factory.

 

In the USA when I ordered my 02 -- the XJR came with everything standard .. no options available. It came with Nav.

 

My XJR has navigation and it is so horrible. Don't bother trying to put one in. It is because it is so basic, but probably cutting edge for its time. It uses a CD for the map database and I am sure it is missing a lot of new roads. The graphics are black / white pixelated, she sounds kinda like Siri for turn instructions, speaks too loud and cuts out my music when speaking and very, very slow + annoying to enter the street address. You can't even talk to it. You are 100 times better off using an iPhone with the Waze app, which I do instead.
