About Radio
The F-TYPE Jaguar radio enables the user to listen to the radio in the car while travelling or stationary. The F-TYPE Jaguar radio allows the user to select and tune into a number of radio stations within range of the vehicle.
Located as part of the car stereo head unit, the F-TYPE Jaguar radio is usually situated centrally and within easy reach, on the dashboard. The car stereo head unit can house a range of features, such as the F-TYPE Jaguar radio, CD player, tape cassette player, DVD player, USB input, and auxiliary input for virtually any device with audible capabilities. The radio is powered by the car's battery.
The F-TYPE Jaguar radio requires an aerial in order to work, which is wired up to the radio. The aerial receives radio waves so that the occupants of the car can listen to the radio. Radio waves are transmitted from a radio station and travel at the speed of light, dispatching the radio programme as they travel. The aerial captures these radio waves and changes them into electrical signals, sending these signals to the radio inside the car where they are then changed back into amplified sound, by the electronic components inside the radio, enabling the people travelling in the car to hear the radio programme being transmitted. The F-TYPE Jaguar radio is fitted with an electronic circuit which cleverly picks up the exact programme/station that's been selected by the user when they tune the radio in, from all the other programmes that are being broadcast across the airwaves. The aerial is connected to the F-TYPE Jaguar radio by an aerial cable which houses the conductor needed to receive radio reception. In addition to the standard analog radio, which is broadcast on the AM/FM 0.145 - 108 MHz frequencies, if fitted with a specific digital car radio and aerial, cars can tune into digital radio stations which are broadcast over two bands (Band III 174-240 MHz, L-Band 1452-1492 MHz) over a higher frequency range. Digital radio offers the user more choice. Because of the way the signal is transmitted, digital radio can significantly increase the number of radio stations available while providing a clearer, uninterrupted sound. Digital radio isn't affected by the same interferences that produce hisses and crackles on an analogue radio, so it provides a seamless listening experience for the user, provided the car is within the transmission area covered.
If you're experiencing poor radio reception it's likely this could be down to a damaged, misaligned or faulty aerial. It's possible that your car will still be able to receive FM radio when the aerial has stopped working but if your car is unable to pick up a signal on the AM frequency then it's very probable the aerial is broken. If you're experiencing other issues with the radio, such as problems with the control panel, electrical components, or it's malfunctioning in some other way, it's important, when replacing the radio in your car to choose one that' s a good quality product and compatible with the make and model of your car. The replacement radio should fit your car precisely, able to slot into place securely in the car stereo head unit and match the contours of the dashboard, complementing the overall style and colour scheme of the car. Purchasing a F-TYPE Jaguar radio will guarantee you get a part that is completely compatible with the make and model of the vehicle you drive.
Jaguar trivia
- The most expensive car in Jaguar's history is the XJ220. It cost a rather intimidating £413,000 in 1991 and is also one of the fastest cars they've ever built, capable of getting up to 217mph.
- Transporting a load of Jaguars isn't easy. When being loaded onto trains, every car is driven by a driver that isn't wearing a seatbelt. Those drivers aren't allowed to wear belts, and they even have to get rid of any metal eyelets on their shoes. This is all to prevent the possibility of scratches, and what's more, the drivers aren't even allowed to touch the outside of the cars!
- The first-ever XK120 rolled off the production line and was delivered immediately to Clark Gable, who had preordered it well in advance. The XK120 came with a removable windscreen and could hit a solid 120mph..
- Jaguar isn't a big name in F1, but they did have a go. They raced between 2000 and 2004 but didn't perform well enough to justify the costs. They managed a less than stellar ninth place in their final race.
- The 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most gruelling and famous race events in the world, has been won by Jaguar an astonishing seven times. Their first victory was back in 1951.
