Navigation Update InControl Touch Plus (GEN 2.1)
Latest factory navigation map and system software update for JLR InControl Touch Plus (GEN 2.1) units. We install the most recent map data, speed camera alerts, and firmware improvements directly onto your vehicle’s head unit. No hardware replacement, fully reversible, and dealer-diagnostic safe.
What This Service Delivers
The InControl Touch Plus (GEN 2.1) system powers navigation and infotainment across many modern Jaguar Land Rover models, including the Range Rover Evoque, Discovery Sport, Jaguar XE, XF, and F-Pace. Over time, the factory navigation data becomes outdated: new roads appear, junctions change, and speed limit information falls behind current regulations. The navigation update restores your system to current mapping standards.
Our Navigation Update InControl Touch Plus (GEN 2.1) service performs a complete map and software refresh using genuine JLR map data files. We access the vehicle’s head unit through the OBD-II port and the dedicated USB update path, verifying the existing software version and then installing the latest available map set. This includes updated road geometry, points of interest, speed camera locations, and regional mapping for the United Kingdom and Europe (or other regions depending on your vehicle’s specification).
The update process preserves all personal settings, paired devices, and stored destinations. Your navigation history, favourites, and connected services remain intact. The system also receives any applicable firmware improvements that JLR has released for the GEN 2.1 platform, resulting in faster route calculation, more responsive touch input, and improved Bluetooth stability.
We use the same map data and update procedure that JLR dealers apply, ensuring complete compatibility and diagnostic integrity. The process does not affect any other vehicle module, engine coding, or driver assistance systems.

How the Navigation Update Process Works
- Vehicle Identification & Software Read: We connect to the vehicle via the OBD-II port to identify the current head unit software version, VIN, and map region.
- Map Data Preparation: We prepare a USB update key containing the latest JLR map data and any relevant firmware patches for your specific GEN 2.1 system.
- Update Installation: The USB key is inserted into the vehicle’s media port. The head unit verifies the update package, then installs the new maps and software while preserving all user data.
- Verification & Functional Check: After installation, we perform a full system self-test, confirm the new map version displays correctly, and verify that navigation, voice guidance, and speed camera alerts operate without errors.

Technical Considerations Before Ordering
Important: This service is only compatible with vehicles fitted with InControl Touch Plus GEN 2.1 (the 10-inch touchscreen system with physical shortcut buttons). It does not apply to the newer Pivi Pro system or the older InControl Touch (GEN 1) system. If you are unsure which system your vehicle has, send us a photo of your centre console and we will confirm within one working day.
Some vehicles may have previously received an unofficial map update or have a regional map lock. We check the existing software version before starting and will not proceed if there is any risk of data corruption. Your safety and the integrity of your vehicle’s electronics remain our top priority.
For vehicles still under manufacturer warranty, the navigation update uses the same map files and installation procedure as a dealer service. No warranty implications exist because no vehicle coding or configuration changes are made. The head unit simply receives the latest map data.
The update does not alter any speed limiter settings, engine parameters, or driver assistance calibration. It is exclusively an infotainment and navigation data refresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the update erase my saved destinations?
No. Your stored destinations, recent routes, and favourites remain exactly as they were before the update. The installation process preserves all user data.
How often should I update the navigation maps?
JLR releases new map data approximately every 12 to 18 months. We recommend updating at least once every two years to maintain accurate route guidance and speed camera information.
Can the update be reversed?
Yes. We keep a backup of your previous map version and software. If you prefer the older data for any reason, we can restore it without any trace.
Does this update include speed camera alerts?
Yes. The latest map data includes current speed camera locations for the United Kingdom and Europe. The alerts appear both on the map display and as audible warnings.
Can I install the update myself?
Yes. We offer a remote update service where we send you a pre-loaded USB key with the correct map data and clear instructions. Full telephone support is available during the installation.
Will my dealer notice the update during a service?
Dealer diagnostic equipment reads only the map version number. The update is identical to a dealer-performed map update, so no flags or messages appear.
