XF Sat Nav disk compatible with S-Type (Denso)

Raistlin · October 28, 2015

I was speaking to a chap last night who assured me that the XK sat nav disks are compatible with the Late model S-Types with the Denso system.

He was convincing... but not quite convincing enough for me to buy a disk from fleabay until I found out more.

Any knowledge, experience etc please?

If Jon [the Voices] spots this, he could help, Paul.

He is a Jaguar Salesman, and very helpful.

Peter.

Got mine for my XF from here

Very helpful and cheap

I guess nobody knows then?

I would put money on that they do.

All the jaguar denso systems in the X, S, XF, XJ, XK will be the same system.

OK,

I've found a genuine disk for a reasoable price on fleabay so I've bought it.

I'll try it in The Princess and see what happens. Would anybody be interested in the result?

Old Peter · October 29, 2015

Very interested, Paul.

My satnav has the last disc allegedly produced for the S Type [2012/13].

It can lead you astray in certain new areas!

Well,

The answer to the question is most definitely NO. The disk sits in the drive and the display says "Reading DVD" Left it there for 10 minutes and it got no further.

Anybody want a 2105 satnav map disk for XF and XE models?

Just buy a XF then you can keep the disk :D

Raistlin · October 31, 2015

I'm just wondering now, whether the map data from the 2015 disk might be merged with the 2011 S-Type disk. I suppose I could compare the 2011 and 2006 disks I have and see what files were changed...

Sorry to arrive late for the party, I hadn't spotted the post.

As far as I know any of the DVD based nav discs should be interchangeable, but I have only ever swapped X / S / XJ discs between cars.

The last XF's to use a disc were the 2011 pre-facelift cars but the XK carried on with the disc based system until it was discontinued last year.

Are you sure that the 'genuine' disc is not damaged / unreadable in any way ?

Does your original disc work straight away when you put it back in the drive ?

I can check with our parts department to see if the part numbers are the same or see if any of the technicians have any experience if it would help.

Raistlin · October 31, 2015

Jon,

My original disk works immediately when I load it. Well, within about 20 seconds.

The 2015 disk is readable on a PC. Seems OK.

Whatever you can find out would be great thanks :)

Wondering whether the disk content can be merged with the data in my original disk.

Keep on with it Paul, until you get a definite answer?

Very interesting

Just bought a 2nd-hand 2011/2012 disk for my S-TYPE for £20 from eBay (to replace original 2005/2006 disk) and it worked straight away.

Would be nice to get a more up-to-date disk though, even if it's a brand new disk.

Old Peter · November 2, 2015

Hi Chris,

I think mine is a 2012/2013 and it appears to be the last one produced for the S Type system.

Peter.

11/12 is the last sat nav disc for S,X,XJ types??

Raistlin · November 2, 2015

Yes it is Stan.

That's why I am keen to extract the Navteq maps from the later DVDs in a way that the S-Type disks can be merged with.

Unfortunately, it is beyond my ability so I'll have to rely on others to see if it is possible.

CBers · November 2, 2015

I doubt it is possible to merge maps, as they'll be encoded in such a way as to make them unreadable.
