Yeah, Finally I got a Jaguar!

Herllo, and thank you for the forum. After many years (and many, many terrible cars) I have finally bought myself a Jaguar S-type 3.0 V6 SE, V plate, 1999 - 2000. The car is fantastic, fully loaded and everything working and I bought it in Liverpool last  Saturday, have no real issues with it and I am loving it. My only problem, and it isn't really one, is that the in built satnav is CD Version V02.58.31 and last Saturday I spent several hours driving (or being directed to) roads that either don't exist or have been replaced with the M6 toll road. I had a lovely (if not over-long) drive home to Biggin Hill as a result. Is there an easy way to update my CD version without having to change the hardware?? Any help would be appreciated. I have been told that this is no longer supported, due to the "facelift models" from 2002 which now use DVD's. Thanks :)

Welcome to the club.. not sure on the sat nav side of things for the early S-type, only ever dealt wit the DVD version.. but welcome anyway

There are two websites that offer Satnav updates for all makes of cars. Whether or not they do CD's and cover the earlier models I don't know but could be worth enquiring.  http://www.satnavi.com & http://www.satnav-update.com

There may be others so you could try googling. I brought a DVD for my 2005 S Type for £34.99, from the first mentioned and can vouch for them.

 

Enjoy your Jaguar.

Thanks for the replies and welcome. Colin I have checked previously the two sites you listed and unfortunately they only do from 2002 on, the Denso DVD unit. I have emailed both in hope that there is a slightly newer disc than my 2000 one available. The car only cost a few bob so it isn't worth investing big money on sat nav, it isn't like I go a lot of places out of my way, but thanks anyway.
