Just curious if there is anyone out there who's contacted Jaguar manufacturing to file a complaint, or discuss a recall? I've seen many others on message boards. It seems like a pretty big deal- that all give the same error message. It seems convenient to happen without reason to so many systems. I haven't done this, but was wondering if any had information on doing so. Thanks. |

I am not sure what on Ebay I should be searching for. Is it the Nav Control? Or a digital climate control- are both specific for Jaguar and year/ model? What I was curious about was the specific control module for the cliamate and the after market nav/cd etc system that you installed. If it isn't to much to ask, could I get the information on the specific pieces you used? Thanks.

Replying to: brokedownkitty (Jan 14, 2009 6:05 am) IF YOUR WILLING TO SPEND SOME MONEY THROUGH TRAIL AND ERROR AND TEAR INTO YOUR CAR: The non-Navigation X-types have two units that occupy the same space as the console and radio. The complete assembly has two LCD screens. The top screen, just below your hazzard switch, is the climate control panel. If you find the right climate control unit (MUST be digital and must match the windscreen option of your car so I cannot tell anyone specifically what they need) IT WILL WORK IN PLACE OF THE CENTER AND TRUNK NAVIGATION PIECES FOR MY CAR. Once again I have detailed this process in my "UPDATE" and "FINAL UPDATE" posts so I WILL NOT waste my time and reiterate it here. As for what parts to obtain to convert from the factory navigation system: Do a search on ebay category "all of e-bay motors" for the words "x-type" and "climate" then select "car & truck parts and accessories" for the climate control unit. 9 hits (2 auction 7 e-bay store). I reccommend ebay items sold by LKQONLINE as they tend to supply information like VIN number series and option list. Do a search on e-bay category "all of ebay motors" for the words "double din" , "GPS" "SD" and "DVD" The select "Car Audio & Electronics" This should return dozens of hits for a 6-7" screen unit that will fit in the jag. Select the location and featres you want. READ THE FINE PRINT to make sure the unit has a GPS included versus things like "GPS ready" which means a separate GPS unit (usually not included) can be added on. One unit that could serve as a factry GPS replacement (if you want to Narrow it down to a name brand you can see at best buy) woud be a Pioneer AVIC-900BT. Lok here for the fascia plate so it looks like a factory installation: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13402_Metra+99-9500.html# Then you need to the x-type plug off and wire in your new radio wiring harness or purchase an adapter: http://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/jaguar-xtype-wiring-adaptor-autoleads-pc2814-p-26- 84.html NOTE: This is as specific as I can get. The radio harness should be standard accross all models, but the climate control wiring harness *MAY* differ between year to year and vehicle feature set. For example, I purchased a dedicated climate control unit that did not work (excet for the blower controls, this was mentioned in my update). The reason? The unit and wiring harness were not compatible. The unit I purchased was for a x-type with a heated windshield (windscreen). When I purchased a non-heated windsheild unit, EVERYTHING WORKED. So you see, I can't answer the specifics BECAUSE I DON'T OWN YOUR CAR. Check with your dealer for your car's options, and read the ebay descriptions for VIN series and options the climate control unit supports. Check wiring diagrams. I was able figure out how to fit a dedicated climate control unit into my naviagion equiped x-type because I was willing to invest A LOT of my time scouring the internet and LOOSE a little money to succeed. There are no surefire easy "cookbok" instructions. Even the Cleveland or Columbus Jaguar dealership "experts" did not think what I accomplished could be done. If my Nav system bites the dust again, I will replace it with an aftermarket unit and I will photograph a detailed procedure and post. Short of another nav system failure, what I can do get your email address. From there I will email my number and we can discuss your options over the phone. If anyone lives in my area (Lakewood, Ohio) they can make arrangements to come to me, and I will show them the components and how to migrate from the NAV system climate control to a dedicated unit. Weather permitting I will even see if one of the two climate control units I have purchased will work with your car. This is all I can do, so please don't ask for more "details". Bob |

Thanks for your posts. Sorry, I think I misunderstood some of them... It at the very least provides us with hope in our situation. I will follow your advice, as $4000 isn't an option for our family. At this point, we don't have much to lose. I am in columbus, my email is sarahcgaylor  yahoo.com. Thanks again.
