Description And Operation: Overview: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The audio system is available in four versions.

InControl Touch 6 and 11 speaker systems use an Audio Head Unit (AHU)
InControl Touch Pro 11 and 17 speaker systems use an Infotainment Master Controller (IMC).

The InControl Touch systems are controlled using an 8 inch Touch Screen (TS) and steering wheel mounted controls.

The InControl Touch Pro systems are controlled using a 10.2 inch TS and steering wheel mounted controls.

The vehicle has four levels of audio system available:

InControl Touch 6 speaker 80 W audio system with Audio Head Unit (AHU) integrated 4 channel audio amplifier.
InControl Touch 11 speaker 380 W audio system with external 12 channel Audio Amplifier Module (AAM) and sub-woofer speaker.
InControl Touch Pro 11 speaker 380 W audio system with external 12 channel AAM and sub-woofer speaker.
InControl Touch Pro with surround sound 17 speaker 825 W audio system with external 16 channel AAM and sub-woofer speaker.

All audio systems, except for the InControl Touch 6 speaker system, are powered by an external Audio Amplifier Module (AAM) located in the left rear corner of the luggage compartment. The AAM is controlled by the Audio Head Unit (AHU) or the Infotainment Master Controller (IMC). The speakers are hardwired to the AAM.

On the InControl Touch 6 speaker system the speakers are hardwired directly to an internal amplifier within the AHU.

On vehicles with the Telematics system fitted, a telematics speaker is located in a central position in the top of the instrument panel. Vehicles with InControl Touch Pro with surround sound 17 speaker system share the instrument panel co-axial speaker with the telematics system.

The navigation system provides audible and visual route guidance information to enable the driver to reach a desired destination. The system allows the driver to choose the route using minor or major roads or highways with the option of different routes according to market specification. For example, recommended, shortest, fastest, and most economical routes. Directions to hospitals, museums, monuments and hotels are also available.

The navigation system is integrated with the audio system and shares a number of components common to all systems.

Telematics is a system of devices and features which communicate with other devices or with human users. The telematics system is a combination of built-in mobile connectivity, global satellite location information and vehicle network communications. Jaguar telematics features are often branded under the name InControl.

The telematics system is controlled by the Telematics Control Module (TCU). The TCU is integrated into the vehicle High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) power mode zero system bus. The TCU communicates with the vehicle infotainment system via the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM) assembly.

On vehicles with InControl Touch Pro audio system, the TCU also connected to the Infotainment Master Controller (IMC) via the BroadR-Reach® Ethernet.

The telematics system provides features that the driver can remotely connect to the vehicle via mobile communications network. The driver can view and give information from the vehicle and can send instructions to the vehicle.

The InControl telematics system provides the following InControl features:

InControl Protect - Emergency call (eCall)
InControl Protect - Breakdown call (bCall)
'Secure Tracker' - Stolen vehicle tracking
'InControl Remote' mobile phone applications.

Secure tracker is known as 'Stolen Vehicle Locator' on North American Specification (NAS) markets and it is part of the InControl Protect feature with limited functionality.

The InControl telematics system also features an in-vehicle WiFi Hotspot using access to the cellular network. The WiFi Hotspot provides an in-vehicle internet connection for WiFi enabled devices. The system enables the customer to create a WiFi Hotspot via the TCU and the user's Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card.

The user provided Micro SIM card must be inserted to the following:

The portable audio interface panel on vehicles with InControl Touch audio system.
