Give up on the outdated discs, it's not worth it. Buy a Tom Tom.

 

Guys, I have a 2002 XK8 with a copied DVD that came with it (says xk & xj on it). It works occasionally. I tried copying it for you guys, but the copies don't work at all. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

 

Just for info, here in the UK, the latest update disc you can buy is 2003. This is crap as it was 2 years out of date before my car was made. No more updates available.

I do like the clock but find sticking a TomTom system over the top is the only way ahead. The jag system is crap!!!

 

The Nav system in my '03 XKR is a pet peeve of mine. It is totally inadequate and the fact that they've never updated the disk is just awful. It has taken us on wild goose chases and round-about ways of getting places. In several less populated cities we frequent (but still cities of 75,000 to 150,000) it doesn't have any streets other than major highways. I've long since given up on this and use a small Garmin or my iPhone. I only use the Jag GPS for curiosity when highway driving.

I saw a posting/article, on another board showing someone who took apart their GPS and mounted a Garmin unit inside it hooking up it's power button to one of the buttons on the Factory GPS to switch it on and off - if I was more ambitious I'd do something like this.

 

With all of the great portable alternatives such as Tom Toms, Garvin, and even my HTC Incredible phone (great free navigator app that came with it), it is hard to believe that as recent as a couple of years ago you had to pay in the neighborhood of an extra $2K for a Nav option in a car.

Blake,
Can I bum acopy off of you as well?
Thanks,
Bill

 

Does anyone know of a post where someone has linked the navigation disk torrent file or .rar file

 

Go to the FAQ link at the top of this section and there will be a navagation link that links to a dvd copy of the 2003 nav dvd. I downloaded it just a couple weeks ago, burned a dvd, loaded it and it works great.
