I wonder if there's a small backup battery in the entertainment system somewhere which is supposed to retain the station memories. If this had failed it might result in the issue you describe. However I don't know if this exists or not. Good idea Ralph1780, disconnecting the main battery for a while often cures odd electrical problems.

Good point. A deep dive in the workshop manual should answer the question about a possible battery.

To give you an update on the radio stations, after having talked with the jag dealer, a media update may solve the issue, however as I didn't want to implement the H239 update (sound level of the exhaust), they mentioned there is a risk of loading it with the media update. They don't want to take the risk... Me neither...
For the service information into the dashboard menu, they mentioned that early cars (mine was build in 03/2016) don't have this information. It was implemented later on. According them no possibility to add it into the menu. The warning message will pop up when service time will be necessary
