Jaguar F-Type upgrades, generation by generation.

2014–2019 cars with the 8-inch or 10-inch touchscreen, almost always for the wireless CarPlay box, since CarPlay was never fitted to them from new. Facelift cars from 2020 come for wireless adapters. Coupé and convertible are the same job, and the R and SVR are no different from the V6 cars.

No. The CarPlay box takes over the screen and feeds sound through the car's own audio input, so the Meridian amplifier and speakers are untouched, and the active exhaust button and drive-mode menus stay exactly where they were. Nothing is cut and the original unit is never removed from the car.

X152 — 2013–2019 (Coupé and convertible): Jaguar 8-inch touchscreen on 2013–2016 cars, InControl Touch from 2016 and InControl Touch Pro 10-inch from 2018; CarPlay only as a late option on some Touch Pro cars. Facelift X152 — 2020–2024 (Coupé and convertible): InControl Touch Pro 10-inch with CarPlay and Android Auto standard, wired. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.

CarPlay: Wireless box on 2013–2019 cars, wireless adapter on the 2020 facelift that has CarPlay as standard. Reversing camera: Factory-look camera on the factory screen with guidelines, coded in where the car supports it. Car radio: Larger Android screen with the factory buttons and amplifier kept, where the original display is too small. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Parking sensors: Colour-matched sensors with a factory-style tone, shown on the screen where the car supports it. Dash cam: Hardwired from the fuse box with parking mode and a low-voltage cut-off, cables hidden. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.

CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Reversing camera: two to three hours. Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. Ambient lighting: two to four hours. Most F-Type owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

X152: the Jaguar 8-inch touchscreen on 2013–2016 cars, InControl Touch from 2016 and InControl Touch Pro 10-inch from 2018; CarPlay only as a late option on some Touch Pro cars stays and we add to it. Facelift X152: the InControl Touch Pro 10-inch with CarPlay and Android Auto standard, wired stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
