My center light used to turn on and off on its own. I removed the cover and found a small dead fly on the inside. Simply blew it off and replaced the plastic light cover and it’s been fine ever since. 3 years problem free now. You simply can’t beat a push button tho can you!!

Barry and I agree. When mine acted up, I wished I had a simple button dome light, but since this fix its been working trouble free 😁

Hilton, loved the jumpy nature of this video. But, I wanted to say that not have a light in the center console is an abominable sin. How on earth could Jaguar have forgotten to put a light in there? Oh, and the cup-holder well as well! Infuriating.

You should not have had to pay for that light issue .. Its a common fault with this model jag. I had the exact same fault with mine and had it done by the dealer free of charge as there was a service bulletin for it. Different country from you ( UK here ) but I would have thought as its a known jag fault they felt the need to issue a service bulletin that everyone should have had it done without charge. Fyi I had mine done sometime in Feb too.

Thanks Rich, I asked the dealer about that and they said it was just a technical bulletin, not a recall, so I had to pay because the extended maintenance plan refused to pay for it. I didn't mind paying for it because it wasn't that expensive - I was just happy there was a relatively cheap solution and that the light wouldn't have a mind of its own anymore :-)

This is my exact window problem

+Ron H (RonnieRon) Sorry to hear Ron, the only way to fix it is replacing the entire regulator & motor. It's not cheap, but when it works, it just feels so good ;)

Same issue here, now I found that disconnecting the battery for 10 min will reset the one-touch close function, this way I'm able to still close the window without it going back down, leave the defective window without the one-touch programming.

But you have an Aux port to plug in your mp3 player or phone. Does this not work?
@carfanfan6 жыл бұрын
bowss100 It does work but so archaic. I would have liked a USB or SD card slot. My Cadillac CTS came standard with USB and SD card slots. So I miss that feature I guess.

the radio adapter does that cut down in terms of quality a lot? My friend had a cheapo one and that was sooo much worse than AUX cable
@carfanfan2 жыл бұрын
The little player I had plugged in was playing music directly into the Aux from a mini SD card. When you play music via Bluetooth through a 3rd party player into the AUX, the sound will suffer. But the quality on mine was equal to playing directly via an OEM USB

Same color,same my car. How mach is the cost by japanese Yen?
@carfanfan5 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure in Yen how much, but when I bought it five years ago it was around $35,000. Today it's probably worth half that.

Just wasted 7 minutes of a 15 minute video. Was trying to figure out how to fix the window on my XF but this poster spent his time on a "Window repair" video talking about the interior lights and various other bits on the car. Am moving on to someone else who can help with the windows!
@carfanfan5 жыл бұрын
To be fair, my title doesn't say "How to replace an XF window". I did a video on how to remove the door pad to get to the window and basically, you have to replace the window motor and mechanism. The parts aren't cheap but it will fix any issues the window is showing.

Hello quick question what year is the vehicle?

Thanks i have a 2010 and i am confused. Does the car not have a digital speedometer? It erks me so bad having to look at the dial one to see how fast I'm going. Ive looked at all settings and manual and couldn't find anything. Thanks again for the videos
@carfanfan7 жыл бұрын
You are right, it doesn't have a digital speedo. I moved to the Jag from a Cadillac CTS and that had it. Was quite handy without having to calculate where the needle was. The Jag does have a speed limiter though, so you can set that (behind the round gearknob) so that your car will never go over a certain speed - not sure why though as they are built for speed. The trip on the center display only shows gas mileage etc, but not speed. Strange, because my old Audi's Sygic Satnav has a digital speed readout and one would think the Jag's SatNav would show you your speed in mph or kph. Technology is scary when buying a car, because they're becoming like phones - in one day, outdated the next ;D

Forgot to ask you, is there anyway to open your car doors if you lock your key/key fob in your car? Please let me know. Thanks.
@carfanfan6 жыл бұрын
Hey Debbs, it's rare that your Jaguar XF will let you lock your key inside because it will refuse to lock the door. It's almost impossible. But if you do manage to circumvent the XF's systems and somehow lock your fob inside, the only way would be to use your spare fob to get inside again.

Please give me a link to this MP3, from Aliexpress. Thanks.
Hilton, what about the lighter socket? I just checked your video, and I saw that it is two separate items, is this correct?
@carfanfan6 жыл бұрын
Don't worry, all the attachments come with the MP3 player. You'll get an audio aux cable, power cable with lighter socket (with 2 usb inputs - one for charging your phone and one for playing music through) and it also has a mini SD card slot which I prefer to use. It can also handle bluetooth calls, but I prefer the XF's bluetooth as its clearer. Plugging it into your aux socket provides same as CD quality sound - if you connect it via the FM frequency, you lose audio quality, no bass, tinny and sounds like an old AM radio. I've had mine about a year now and still works great.
