Software Updates offer a convenient way to keep your car up to date, with less frequent visits required to your Retailer. They provide the ability to further optimise vehicle systems, such as the infotainment system or the charging capability in all-electric vehicles.
Software Updates will be sent periodically to Jaguar vehicles as soon as the need arises or any issues are identified with existing vehicle software.
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.
