Checking the ports in the center armrest panel (MIP/UIP) of your Jaguar Land Rover vehicle MY17+:
A – NOT eligible for Smartphone Pack upgrade
B or C – Eligible for Smartphone Pack upgrade
Rather than the obscure confusing language, JLR should have released this graphic months ago.
**These ports alone do not indicate Smartphone Pack compatibility but they were the most confusing part of checking eligibility which also requires: 10.2” screen, Pro Services & Connect Pro, including WiFi

Can’t wait to see what December 27th brings…
Oddly but very much in line with their process – the official media links for the above image swapped the high- and low- res images – or at least the resizes – ever so confusing…
Further the image itself was so low-res and I’m not sure if that’s actually on purpose or just another lack of attention to detail.
