Those resizable tiles look a lot like the original Windows 8 Start screen – nothing wrong with that, just a visual comparison.
There are four customizable My Home screens for the user to name and then add & resize whatever shortcuts or widgets they’d like.
Here’s the video for the 8” system on the MY16 Jaguar XJ:

Issue
Introduction of New Technology
Cause
Service Compliance Notification JLRP00052v2 has been issued to support the introduction of the new InControl Touch Pro system to the Jaguar and Land Rover ranges, this is an extension of the existing X351 MY16 InControl Touch Pro Nerve centre to further the scope of support across model lines. The central JLR team will again form a Nerve Centre to promote rapid identification and resolution of customer concerns. This process is effective from the moment you receive your first vehicle, and will run until further notice. All global markets will receive Nerve Centre focus during the launch phase, and your National Sales Company & Importer technical staff will be invited into the forum to keep abreast of the very latest technical fixes.
Previous generations of the Land Rover system required you to physically unplug your iPod from the vehicle to then be able to enable Bluetooth Audio.
CONNECTING MULTIPLE DEVICES
You can connect multiple devices simultaneously to the portable media interface and switch between them using the Touch screen.
As per the manual:
Note: The Media system will play MP3, WMA, WAV, AIFF, M4A, FLAC, AAC, AMR, LPCM and ALAC files. Other formats are available. To maximize playback quality, it is recommended that lossless compression is used for any media files on USB. Failing this, it is recommended that compressed files utilize a minimum bitrate of 192 kb/s (a higher bitrate is strongly recommended).
