Door Mirrors

[mullers]

Hi, just joined your noble organisation, been a Jag owner on and off for over Thirty Years but I can't find an answer to a particular question, which is does the 2014 xfr have electronic door mirrors? because I can't find a way to close them unless I do it manually. I think I would be disappointed if it the car didn't have them, obviously too late now as I've bought it. But I thought I would ask.

Thanks 

Paul

Paul, Welcome to the Forum.

Hi Paul,

There should be two buttons (left/right mirror select) and a joystick for adjustment.

Pressing the two buttons together should fold/unfold the mirrors

Cheers,

Hi, Jon.

Thanks for your help but having investigated further the option was not taken up at purchase, so they are manual.

Hey Ho.

however, it has given me the chance to really investigate the vehicles electronics. so, getting to know the model as the days pass.

Thanks again

Hi Paul,

Must admit, I'm surprised! Thought electric mirrors were a standard fitment on all XF's! So we all learn something!

Thanks again

You sure there is not something in your car setup menu that you can switch on so they close when you lock up the car. I thought was standard on an XFR.

Hi, thanks for getting in touch, but there does not seem the programme for it, admittedly I have only had the car for less than a week, I took it over to the guys that specialise in Land Rover and Jaguar, but even they were surprised by it. If I can find a program for it, I will install it, at the moment it is just a case of keeping my eyes and ears open, if it is online I will find it. Hopefully.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Paul

 

Did you sort out mirrors issue? I got the same problem,got my XF only a week

Hi Marius,

Sort of, apparently, they were not fitted as new, so my only option is to have them retrospectively fitted, but that is going to cost around £450.00, even if I buy the actual mechanism on eBay, so that's not likely as I am far too mean for that. there you, you live and learn. Best Wishes

Paul

Marius let me know what you decide or any outcome, if I change my mind, I will post an update.

Almost unbelievable  that a luxury car of Jaguars price is not fitted with fold in mirrors as standard.
