This 2021 Jaguar F-Type R P575 (X152) was purchased from Tom Wood Volvo/Land Rover/Jaguar Indianapolis, sales consultant Nate Sell.
Jaguar decided to go all electric by 2025, as a result F-Type production ended in 2024. We really enjoy the V8 in my wife's Land Rover Defender, so I decided I needed one as well but in Jaguar form- same motor but tuned a bit different. I was in Indianapolis for work when I found this car, 4 years old but like new with only 1800 miles- PPF, window tint, and ceramic coating already done and oil changed annually. 2021 was the first year of the F-Type refresh with some exterior and interior updates to the original design.
The SC V8 is the AJ133S.
Dealer iPacket and build sheet is HERE. Below are some dealership ad pics, a few I took from the hotel window, and some when back home after a 600 miles/9.5 hours/5 states drive home.
FYI if you purchase a pre-owned Jaguar: Master PIN reset is optimally done by prior owner but if not a dealer is required, a call to Jaguar Customer Relationship Center at 1-800-452-4827 with proof of ownership will allow them to reset the incontrol/remote account/PIN but not the master PIN for the car. Kind of a bummer, especially for a Jaguar CPO car- not a cheap fix at the dealer.

Valentine 1 Gen2 radar detector (Owners Manual, Quick Start Guide, Programming Guide, Troubleshooting, How To Upgrade) hardwire installed using a Xislet Radar Detector Hardwire Power Cord Mirror Plug Tap with Inline Fuse from Amazon, I used the cord with the smallest pins.
Using the Bluetooth connection to the V1 from my Android phone with the JBV1 app adds a lot of useful functionality- Some discussion around the JBV1 app can be found HERE, helpful settings guide HERE.I had found several forum write-ups for hard wiring but the wire colors did not match what I had....so even after snapping off the lower cover and finding the Homelink connector, I decided to remove the upper cover (tricky since I had to slightly pull down, not remove, rear view mirror to remove and install the upper cover). Found the same plug that was in our Defender and used the same positions to tap (same positions as this THREAD)- if I had it to do over I would just use the Homelink plug to tap positions (not colors) as in this THREAD.
Was going to source a BlendMount like we have in some other vehicles but the windshield in the F-Type is solar attenuating so not optimal for the radar detector. Small area at top of windshield and to either side of mirror are designated clear spots for transmission (radar detectors, toll cards, etc.) where the black dots are, as detailed in these threads HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. I always trust but verify and found a local speed sign to conduct some testing, definite improvement in ability/range at clear area vs mirror mount so......will eventually replace suction cup mount with VHB semi-permanent mount.

Fuse 15, power for exhaust valve actuators- when removed you get the awesome sound all the time, keep the fuse in the glove box for times when a more subtle exhaust sound is desired
