SOFTWARE UPDATES

Through Software Updates, you can wirelessly update your vehicle’s software. This enables you to conveniently keep the vehicle up to date without the need to visit a Retailer.

Software Updates offer a convenient way to keep your vehicle up to date, with less frequent visits required to your Retailer. They provide the ability to further optimize vehicle systems, such as the Infotainment system or the charging capability in all-electric vehicles.

Through Software Updates you will be able to maintain and fix your vehicle’s Infotainment and Telematics Module, and in our electric vehicles, the Battery Energy Control Module.

Software Updates will be sent periodically to Jaguar vehicles as soon as the need arises, or any issues are identified with existing vehicle software.

You can switch the Software Update on or off through the Settings menu within the Software Updates section. When switching on the Software Updates, you will need to accept the terms and conditions to activate the feature.

In order for your vehicle to be eligible for an Infotainment system update, the software version of your Infotainment needs to be at 18B or above. You can check what software version your Infotainment system is currently on through the Settings menu, within the Software Update section. The version of the Infotainment system will be displayed as a long string of characters, e.g. ‘S18B_18.25.3-174880’.

The Infotainment system can be connected either through a Wi-Fi connection or through the SIM card inserted into your vehicle. You may also use a hotspot connection through your mobile device, however, this may result in additional data charges.

Telematics/Battery updates will be automatically connected on activation of Software Updates in the settings menu in Telematics enabled countries.

If connection is lost during download, it will pause until the connection is re-established.

You may experience data costs, if connection is achieved through the SIM card inserted into your vehicle. In some markets you will have received a SIM card on purchase of your vehicle, if used, you will not receive data charges for Software Updates.

When an update is available, you will receive a pop-up notification on the Infotainment system, for all types of updates. You can also check for available updates through the Settings menu, within the Software Update section.
