I find the road noise plus music a bit too much. My solution is earplugs lightly inserted enough to damp the tweeters and road noise and crank up the vol. I use my ipad with my ripped cds on it. Usually I do short trips so I listen to When In Rome by Genesis (audio ripped from the DVD's) - The bass and drum riff starting here at 27:45 just womps right out:


I might try something along the lines of Q&C 3M tape trick and then disable the tweeter:

I tried that a few times, didn't do any good. My ears are still quite good also, except the exact frequency of my wife's voice for some reason.

Cee Jay, I think that the early versions of the Tesla style screen were problematic. I waited awhile and chose the vendor pretty carefully. Mine has all of the OEM settings included except the ability to clear warnings. I leave my obd2 device plugged in all the time for torque pro gauges and can quickly clear any codes. I had the Old Jaguar unit and it worked very well…I wanted something that sounded better with all options and a backup camera. I use the Agama launcher so it’s easy to navigate around the screen…

I'd do this in a minute....but too many stories about features not supported (though it looks like arenaej solved a lot of them through careful vendor selection) and more important, no practical support from China. Breaks? Throw it away! Is not my preference.

I've been happy since I bought the car with my Samsung Galaxy via the OldJag bluetooth module connected to the OEM head. That fixes the obsolete Nav system; fixes the crappy radio/Satellite with Radio Garden,Tidal and Spotify; and my 300 gigs of lossless files gives me all the music I care to own. I wouldn't mind replacing the head's old amp with a better one...but a clear input to the current amp is good enough. And all it cost me was $125 and a half hour to hook it up. It just works, and has worked fine for 4 years.

Just not interested with tech I have to fight with and can't trust.

Hello. I see your unit has Fahrenheit temperature instead on Celsius. The old ones only displayed in C. Is that correct?

That’s correct. Mine is the most recent version I’ve seen. It’s listed in the Marketplace here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/market/283810
