Hi guys, sold my R35 GTR and bought a F type V6, its an import so need to get the nav sorted unless I want to only drive around Tokyo! Not sure what exact model it is until its registered

What's the last eight characters of the VIN (three letters and 5 numbers) and I'll see what I can dig out if you want.

And welcome.

Hi and welcome. A few other fellow bikers on here too.

You can purchase map updates via https://www.jaguar.co.uk/owners/incontr ... dates.html
Remember when inputting your model year that it's generally +1 on the build year, eg. a 2015 car will be MY16. However, once you get the VIN no. you can put it into https://osh.jaguar.com/home and this will show the correct model year.

I hope this helps and forgive me if I'm telling you stuff you already know!

Just check the 10th digit of the VIN - G for MY16, H for MY17, J for MY18, K for MY19, etc.

If you're in the UK, start at David Appleton Engineering who are agents for the VAP tuning products, which the US guys are heavily into. https://davidapplebyengineering.com/
