One interesting about Jaguar’s infotainment is that the media display supports non-Latin languages. That’s still a rare thing in cars.
Here’s some J-pop
And Chinese.
Even the wife’s Jeep with FCA’s newest uConnect won’t support non-Latin script.

i drove an F-Type recently for a bit and hated the infotainment system. Poorly laid out, not very responsive.

Oh absolutely. As a UI Jag’s stuff is pretty awful (especially my 2014 vintage).
uConnect rocks the socks. The newest one is super responsive, almost iPad-like.

I cry a bit inside when basic things like accented vowels don’t even register on these things. The issue of extended scripts was solved back in the 1970's by IBM with code pages, and then even further with Unicode in the 1990's. There’s no reason to not support multiple languages in today’s user interfaces, other than laziness.

Almost any infotainment system in a car is a half-baked development to make cash because “LOOK AT THE IPAD IN THE DASH, MARGE! IT DOES EVERYTHING FOR US NOW!”

VW do the same for some models, although they don’t go as far as Chinese. I had a Golf last week whose previous carers included an Andrei, but in Cyrillic.
