Hi all.

My name is Paul, and I just took delivery of this little beauty and joined the forum today. Hoping to get helpful tips and share experiences with other F-type owners.

It's "only" the 2L version which is plenty for me. A great car, except for the InTouch Pro entertainment system which doesn't work properly but I am told that the next version should be out in January and that should fix the problems I am having.

Thanks! I took it to a detailer (Refined Details) near Aylesbury and Adam did a great job on it removing all the swirls and other stuff that the dealer managed to add to it!

Nice car Paul. I've just got my 2L Coupe, out of curiosity, what are the In Touch Pro issues you're having? Have noticed I'm sometimes getting 'queue corrupted ' messages when playing music from USB sticks.

Thanks Jason.

The InTouch Pro system occasionally froze, and once when a call came in the screen went to a kind of coloured static pattern. The dealer took it in to update the software and that has made it worse - the colour pallet is all wrong for the entertainment system with white icons in white squares (so effectively invisible). I can still use it as I know where the back icon is, for example, but it just appears as a white square. The rear camera, GPS, and apps like SPotify are unaffected, only the built in entertaiment system apps, and the entertainment settings page (so for example it is impossible to adjust the base or treble as the screen is just white with barely discernible writing.

The dealer says it is a software problem, which makes no sense to me, but if necessary they will have to change some hardware module I think.

So short answer is I have not had your problem.

New software (Stage 3) was due Dec 7 but now early January.
