It is worse than that, there is no update beyond 2003.

Please search the forum for 'navigation'. You will see there have been a number of different upgrade approaches including putting a portable unit behind the dash, using a Garmin GVN-53 with the existing video screen, or scrapping the navigation altogether and converting to the 'classic' gauges, since a lot of folks use smartphones for navigation these days anyway.

 

Mr: Meyer: My '05 XKR was up graded to a Garmin when I got it. They just put grill clothe where the switches used to be on the old nav system. This way you can hear the Garmin.
To be honest, if I thought I could match the wood on the fascia , I would change over to gauges and a clock.

 

For the gauge conversion, the least cost way of getting a match is usually to find a matchng used set, and then sell your own matching set on ebay to recoup the cost.

 

I wonder where the previous owner got that idea? possible old member from around here? maybe.

 

I was wondering the same thing. In fact, I was wondering if it was his car. I forget who did that, but that's where I got the idea for my Garmin install.

 

I stumbled on a thread about the Garmin after I bought the car. I figured the seller may have been hang'in on this forum. Anyway, I bought the car from a Chrysler car lot around Seattle, I wonder what your ol' buddy traded it in on.

 

I was thinking about this thread by jnporcello: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...av-pics-37911/

I doubt that is your car because he's in New York and he's still active on the forum.

 

do you have any pics I could see of your upgraded nav system? I want to do the same thing
