Hey, I own a Jaguar xk8 2001 that Ive been restoring.



I came across another issue and that being a previous owner damaged the screen, making it hard to see and read. System works perfect but screen itself needs replacement.

Does anyone know where I can buy a screen that I can use to swap the old one out so I don't have to buy a whole new sat nav?
​

 

I'm reasonably sure that the old X100 nav system is totally obsolete now. It is so slow and the maps are so out of date that I always thought that everyone had given up trying to use it by now.

I think that the only source for a replacement screen will be a breakers yard, or similar.

I don't necessarily want to use it but I want it for the aesthetic and as part of the full restoration to say everything works as intended. The only function I would use is the analog clock after updating the system.

P.s it's nice to have a map even if it's slow in case of emergencies, like a dead phone :P

But most breaker yards/junk yards want 300$ just for a sat nav that isn't a main component in the car one would use. Which is why I rather take the screen fixing route as I've replaced countless electronic screens, I just need the right part number and or source to buy a screen

 

Remove the screen and disassemble down to the bare bones if you can. Measure dimensions and note any identifying numbers and do an online search. I have found many seemingly obscure parts are out there, just need to find them.

 

Over the years I do remember that many have replaced the unit with the gauge system.
Good chance someone has that on nav system setting on a shelf, so you are in the right place.

 

^*^^^ this !! ^^^^^^^

i know the folks that put in the 3 gauge system with the real gauge modification just didn’t throe Away their NAV screen.

so help this guy out..

BTW, I am still using my original SAT NAV system. It’s an anachronism for sure, but so are the cars. That just makes them more enjoyable to me.

reach out to forum member @Throwback - he had a listing for complete radio and sat nav in the market place. I got the radio but believe the satnav is still available. If his is no longer available, there are a few others with ads in the forum market place that may be able to assist

Just messaged him in the forum, hopefully he responds, but if anybody else has some sources as well I'm all ears!

 

I dont see a DM from you, but in any case I already sent that to another person back in september so I'm afraid its no longer available.
