The Dials for Battery State... Clock... Oil Pressure.

On later models these dials have been removed and the area is a GPS Unit Screen....
Presumably this screen is also a Radio and has other functions...

My question.... if these three dials are removed... what is used to then show the information for Battery State..... and Oil Pressure.... (middle 'clock' would be on the GPS)???

 

All functions on the "NAV" models can be displayed on the NAV screen. Since the Nav is no longer supported with updates from Jag, find replacement dash parts, and convert to the 3 gauge cluster from "Real Gauge". The stock Jag gauges are really just "Idiot Lights" with needles. Only show the max/minimum values(several discussions about this on previous forum threads).

There are several options including a Garmin gauge in place of the Jag nav window. Check threads on this forum for idea.

I went to eBay to find replacement dash parts, and got gauges. All for about $500USD(including some labor from my local mech that could have been saved).
Several here have made the conversion, and can assist with suggestions. I mounted a 7" Garmin unit that also includes a backup camera and blue tooth functions.

 

First, the oil pressure, battery voltage and coolant temp on the larger gague as stock are idiot lights in gague format. With the Nav system, the battery and oil have idiot lights. As the old outdated nav can no longer be updated, some choose an "Nav to 3 Gague" replacement system. You can also upgrade to more "workikg" gagues. My problem with this change out, is the gague package does not supply the new wood grain dash piece. Across my dash the woodgrain is the same color and the grain matches perfectly. A new woos grain panel will not match.

For my conversion, I went to eBay and found a full 3 piece dash in the style/colour I wanted(walnut, 3 gauge center piece). Then made the conversion. The only problems arose from the center airbag. It must be removed very carefully and replaced to have proper protection. Not to bad, just work slowly.

 

May I ask how much you paid for all 3 pieces? Do they guarantee no cracks or other blemishes?

 

It takes patience and a bit of luck, but nice used full sets come up regularly on eBay, often at very reasonable prices. Examine the photos closely and request more if needed. Look for a money back guarantee.
