Ohhh I see. Just wondering what sat nav software maps they use......... I bet its some well known company where we could use their maps.
I really thought the software was built into the actual sat nav. Enlightening. I think I just may have a go at buying this AK8, its very nice.

The maps provider is Alpine, at least on my 2002 XKR with the premium sound system. As for updating the maps, Alpine has abandoned this system and will not provide updates. If you call Alpine, which I have, they will refer you to Jaguar. If you call Jaguar, they will refer you to Alpine. If you complain about the run around, you're told to "buy a new car". I've been down this path and gave up. I installed a new Sat/Nav system that uses the original screen. It a Garman system and I updated the maps, I believe in May of 2013.

Sometimes other discs are compatable.......
This is hypothetical anyway.. Got to get the XK8 first!! The one I wanted to buy today had gone... Goood ones always do go quickly.

No, that wasn't my thread. I used the stock (original) non-touch screen. The Garman GVN 53 comes with a remote control that actually works very well. After using it for a while, I actually like it better than some touch screens that I've used. There is a write-up on installing the GVN 53 posted, I believe, by H2Oboy, who did this mod first. I followed what he did and have been very happy with the results.
