Does anyone have an idea what the difference is between the surround camera system at £970 and the 360 parking aid at £800?
Thanks
Thanks
I am not sure that's correct. The 3.0 s car already comes with front and rear camera and these are two additional options. Both from what I read seem very similar as the are both surround and 360. Just wondered if anyone had actually got either or both or even the parking aid pack to advise. It's not very clear on the Jag website and the dealer basically didn't know either.Doppleganger said:The parking aid is only a rear view camera with guide lines for reverse parking. The surround cameras ere a camera on the sides along with front and back, I do not know if the rear camera incorporates then rear parking aid.
Thanks for detailed info which is what I was looking for. My main concern is not to kerb the 22" alloys. Making parking a little easier. Do you think having both is best for this or one particular one. Don't mind paying extra of it saves me kerbing an alloy or two.RSi said:If these options are the same as in the US, the Surround Camera System includes a front camera in the lower grill (in addition to the cameras behind the inside rear view mirror), side cameras on the bottom of each of the outside rear view mirrors, and uses the existing rear camera above the rear license plate. The Surround Camera System can "stitch" these four cameras together to give you a birds-eye view of the area around your FP.
The 360 Parking Aid gives you extra proximity sensors to help detect obstacles around your FP. It displays on your touch screen in the form of gray or colored blocks and audible warning tones. The front, side, and outer rear sensors monitor a fixed distance and the inner rear sensors monitor a greater distance. When active and the system detects a "threat", it changes the gray blocks to colored blocks, and sounds a warning tone. As you approach the "threat", the tone increases in speed until it becomes a solid tone when you're within 12 inches (300 mm).
Hope this helps.
Why not just go with the rear camera and practice some parking manoeuvres? Then spend a third of the money saved on some Alloy Wheel and tyre cover! I've read in another post at least one owner having trusted the parking aid and found it very good at kerbing his alloy!Thanks for detailed info which is what I was looking for.

This is where people are getting confused. It's the park assist which does the steering and finds a parking space for you which I don't want or care about. It's the other two which are more important. Comes with rear camera as standard. These are two additional options and think the surround camera system is the one that will help not to kerb the alloys.AndyS said:Why not just go with the rear camera and practice some parking manoeuvres?

Then you're dealer is a knob!F-Pace S said:My dealer said it was money wasted, and they don't say that often! Rear camera is standard on S, and then just take care. The odd keening is a £60 repair against £100/1000's for this kit upgrade!
You're right about Park Assist, it will only help you find and park your FP, not help preserve your 22" wheels. The options to choose to avoid curbing your alloys would be the Surround Camera System and the dipping outside rear view mirrors.kasfranks99 said:This is where people are getting confused.

I'm totally in accordance with you on that, I want to engage with driving the car myself, without relying totally on what all the gizmos are trying to tell me. The Speed Limit Recognition system is another feature where I've found the novelty wears off pretty quickly.bigfoot said:I have looked at the options, and personally want a car that i drive myself.
I would be surprised at that the JLR camera systems I have used allow you to enlarge two images at a time, or all 5 albeit small on a 10" screen..bigfoot said:I have looked at the options, and personally want a car that i drive myself.
The parking aid when i tested it was not all that good, it went back and forth so many times, i thought it was trying to roll the car park flat!
The cameras can only be viewed one at a time, information form my dealer, unless you have the electronic dash, so you would have to swap views.

I find all the additional sensors and options actually seem to get in the way of developing a 'sixth sense' with your car, I much prefer getting used to how the car behaves and where the four corners are without the distraction of all the beeps and dashboard warnings you get. I find they're often more of a distraction when I'm maneuvering in a tight spot. Better to get used to the dimensions of the car and use your own judgement, nine times out of ten. That said, I do use the rear-view camera when reverse parking in the garage and when the rear sensors go to a solid tone there is always more than a foot of available space left before there's a chance of hitting anything. So far, I've found the front sensors can be a bit confusing, I never know how much space is left with them, so I tend to disregard them and use my own judgement. It hasn't let me down . . yet!
I think this might be quite close to the actuality of the ICTP issues. I really don't think Jaguar have invested enough development time for this concept, which is fairly typical for them on most things from my experience. So given the corner cutting going on, maybe surround cameras are a good idea?The Gman said:And an additional thought, this is a feeling and short of doing a survey I can't verify it, but I sense the more options like this you add the bigger the chance of problems with ICTP.... It seems people going with TV! Blind spot, 360 cameras etc have had more ITCP issues, could be wrong and I am sure the forum will correct me :lol:![]()
