Navigation Update for InControl Touch Plus (GEN 2.1)

Navigation update for InControl Touch Plus GEN 2.1 keeps your factory satellite navigation aligned with today’s road network. This platform stores map data on an onboard hard disk drive and draws its cartography from HERE, one of the world’s largest mapping providers. We supply the correct map release for your vehicle, generate the VIN-matched activation code and guide you through installation. You gain accurate routing, refreshed points of interest and current address data across your region.

About the GEN 2.1 Platform

InControl Touch Plus GEN 2.1 is a hard-disk-based infotainment and navigation system. JLR fitted this platform across a broad range of Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles between 2012 and 2016. The system displays 2D and 3D map views with voice guidance, turn-by-turn instructions and lane-level junction prompts. It integrates directly with the vehicle’s audio system and instrument cluster display.

The platform supports the full Meridian audio range on vehicles so equipped, and it manages climate control alongside navigation and media playback. The HDD architecture allows in-vehicle storage of map data, which means the system needs a physical update rather than a wireless download.

What the Latest Map Release Includes

Each map release from HERE brings substantial data improvements. Recent updates for the GEN 2.1 platform have delivered millions of miles of newly mapped roads, tens of thousands of new points of interest and thousands of new 3D landmark models. The data covers fuel stations, parking facilities, restaurants, ATMs and service areas.

How the Update Works

The GEN 2.1 platform receives map data through the vehicle’s USB port or SD card slot, depending on your specific build. HERE supplies the data on a preloaded USB drive for HDD systems. Some vehicles use an SD card for map storage instead. We identify your configuration first and supply the correct media.

After purchase, you provide your VIN and we generate a unique activation code. You insert the USB drive or SD card into the vehicle, enter the activation code through the infotainment interface and follow the on-screen prompts. The system transfers the map data to the onboard hard disk. You keep the ignition on throughout the process, and you leave the USB drive in place until the system confirms completion.

Key Benefits

• Accurate Routing — Your navigation follows the current road network
• Current Destinations — New businesses, addresses and postcodes appear in search results
• VIN-Matched Activation — The code ties directly to your vehicle for secure installation
• Full Factory Integration — The update preserves all existing system functions
• Straightforward Installation — Clear prompts guide you through each step
• Complete Regional Coverage — Maps cover Europe, North America and other major regions

Important Installation Notes

Please observe these requirements carefully. Keep the ignition on and the engine running throughout the installation. Do not remove the USB drive or SD card until the system confirms completion. Removing the media early can disrupt the map transfer and may require a replacement activation. The process typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes depending on the map region size. You can complete the update while the vehicle sits stationary.
