Aftermarket Rear Window Tint - Interference With Reception of GPS Signal

Remove and destroy Non-NAS Bulletin 419-09, dated 6/99 Replace with this Bulletin, which covers a NAS-specific topic.

Issue:

Some 2000 MY-ON XK and V8 XJ Series vehicles equipped with the Navigation System may experience improper operation if aftermarket window tinting has been applied to the rear window. Most window tints contain metal oxides which can disrupt the ability of the navigation antenna, which is located below the rear shelf, to receive the GPS signal.

Action:

Jaguar recommends that window tint should not be applied to the rear window and that the rear shelf be kept clear of metallic objects.
