I have a 2016 Jaguar XF R-Sport, 42000 miles, and its never given me a hint of a problem until now.

The problem is that the Touch Screen now has a life of its own. Once switched on, it automatically flickers from screen to screen, randomly selecting any and all options that appear on the screen.

I can't change anything because it immediately changes it to something else. For example, I can't listen to the radio because it constantly changes station. cI can't make a phone call because it hangs up and then starts ringing other people or random numbers. I can't manage the heating direction.

And now I am completely stuck because, whist in Settings, it has automatically selected the Chinese language, and so its unreadable now.

I have done some research and similar problems seem to relate to the battery or Bluetooth module.

Any help, or anyone who may have similar experience, it would be great to hear from you. Here are a few videos of the problem

Have you cleaned the screen? My phone goes crazy sometimes if it's got food on the screen
