There's a fair bit of information about it on the other Jaguar forums Andy.

Joe, Have you switched off your private messages? Nobody can get a message to you?

Hi Graham, Welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club. I can't answer your question but would be very pleased to see the answer as I am in the same situation as yourself, except that I have a small trim panel to fit which isn't quite Ivory and will look out of place unless I can get it coloured.

Hi Andy, Welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club. By and large, we are a friendly bunch on here and we are gaining more and more communal knowledge I would very much like to see your DAB install and impressions on how well it works. Also we would be happy to see some photos of your car.

Is it something you could do Joe?

OK. Thanks Joe Useful information. Something I'd never considered. To be fair, I was just trying to expand the capabilities of the ACM, and DAB was one of the things I thought about.

I don't think so Dave. At least, if it can be it's beyond my abilities

My S-Type has the Audio Connection Module. I was wondering whether there might be a DAB module, small enough to fit in the centre console where the cup holders normally go, that produces an output either via phono or USB so I can feed it into the ACM. Any ideas gratefully considered please

This definitely works in S-Types as well. It's included as part of the "Battery reset document" which is available for download from this forum

Definitely cannot make this one Joe. SWMBO is beginning to have difficulty remembering what I look like at the moment

Thankyou Stan

Thanks Joe

Cheers Joe

Thanks Joe Mine is fully house-trained Does not "Voice delete memory A" also delete the voice training as well?

Silence was the stern reply

I have recently seen several post face-lift S-Types where the owners had no idea that they had power folding door mirrors. It seems that such conveniences are soon forgotten and as a result, dis-similar metal corrosion takes hold and seizes the bearings. So - do you have power folding mirrors? Unlike the post face-lift cars which had an additional switch in the driver's door pocket, the later cars have no visible indication. To operate the power folding mirrors post face-lift, ensure that the mirror selection switch in the driver's switchpack is set to the central position. Then press the circular positioning switch momentarily down at the rear most edge of the switch whilst watching your mirrors and listening. If your mirrors move smoothly in and out with alternate presses of the switch then all well and good If there is absolutely no discernible movement or the slightest creaking or clicking sound then you probably don't have power folding mirrors (simple enough to retro-fit though). However, when pressing the switch you might see the slightest twitch from one or both of the mirrors and / or hear a slight sound contemporaneously with the operation of the switch. This means that you have seized or partially seized power folding mirrors. My suggestion to free them off is as follows and has been tested on several S-Types with success:- Pop the mirror cover off if you can. Usually this can be achieved with a little judicious probing with a fine edged trim tool or CAREFUL probing with a small screwdriver. PLEASE be careful though as the clips are prone to break, especially in cold weather. In addition, if possible, remove the small lower pivot cover to give even more access. With the cover(s) off you will almost certainly see a load of white powdery corrosion. Brush this off as much as you can. Now, the ideal solution would be to dis-assemble the mirror and give it a darned good clean up but this option appears to be next to impossible, but I'll be grateful if somebody can gainsay me on that . Instead, use a can of spray lithium grease and spray the area of the pivot bearing copiously including externally straight into the joint between the fixed stanchion and the mirror body. Allow a few minutes for it to penetrate (the pressure of the aerosol assists in forcing the lubricant to where it is needed), then, with the engine running, to keep the battery charged, operate the switch and at the same time physically move the mirror on one side of the car. This is best done with two people for the driver's side and impossible to do without two people on the passenger side. You may need to be a little robust initially but feel for the mirror trying to move and then assist it to either fully retract or fully extend. Once the mirror moves full range with assistance you can then gradually reduce and then stop the assistance to gauge the efficacy of the lithium grease. Be prepared to take some considerable time doing this. The longest I've needed was 40 minutes. However the combination of the forced injection of lithium grease aided by the physical assistance will eventually free the mirror pivot up to the extent where it has free unassisted range of movement on both directions for most of the time. Further applications of lithium grease will assist as you progress. Once the mirrors are moving reasonably well, you can replace the covers and clean off the excess grease from the bodywork. Lithium grease is unlike normal grease in that it will quickly disappear when polished off with a rag. SOMETIMES, you can achieve the same result without removing the cover, just by spraying the grease into the joint. However, I would still advocate removing the covers to get a more comprehensive job done. Regular operation of the mirrors will keep them moving freely although you might like to add the lithium grease procedure to your normal maintenance, perhaps on a bi-monthly basis? The following Youtube video, which is not mine and which I hereby acknowledge the originator, may be of assistance but you really do not need to go to the trouble of removing the complete mirror assembly from the door, or removing the mirror glass, in my judgement. S-Type door mirror maintenance I hope this is of help

I'm getting to grips with Jaguar Voice and finding it very useful and not the mere gimmick I first thought. However, after reading the manual there are one or two things I'd be grateful for some help with please The previous owner appears to have saved quite a few Voice Tags for phone numbers. Is there a way of deleting these please? Also, not sure how to compose a phone voice tag. Jaguar Voice asks me for a name but doesn't ask for a number. How do i enter voice tags properly please? Any help gratefully received, thanks.

I see what you mean Dave but I can't say it has ever bothered me. Perhaps I don't concentrate enough when I'm driving? ;)

OK, Looks like this is a go-er. I can offer some advice regarding retro-fits on the S-Type, Denis and Joe have agreed to assist where they can as well. Both of them have a mass of knowledge and ability. Marion has agreed to deal with the bacon sandwich side of things. I have a moderately well equipped tool-kit in my garage. If anybody has something they'd like to attempt, please feel free to raise the point. Nothing oily though please. My driveway looks OK as it is without ornamental oil patches So when? Well, I'd suggest the warmer weather might be a positive advantage so perhaps in May? If anybody feels that they have knowledge to impart and assist then please let me know With luck, we should be able to get to grips with the diagnostic software as well. If we don't get much work done, well... it's always great to see other people's cars and maybe get some ideas for future projects and talk about Jaguars, of course. For preference, a Saturday would be ideal for me. Anybody want to suggest a date?

... there was an option on the S-Type to have a small fridge in the rear seat back where the arm-rest goes. Has anybody any information please? I feel another retro-fit coming on

I've just been out to have a look at mine Dave and to be honest I can't see a problem. I wonder whether there were different bezels?

Marion had her follow-up oncology consultation this morning and we got the best possible news They've managed to zap the lot Thanks to all for your prayers and thoughts seems so inadequate but don't know what else to say.

It was good to meet you Steve. Beautiful car. I really like that colour. Don't forget, you also have total closure / opening as well

Many happy returns of the day to her Peter. I'm sure she will see many more.

The Jaguar spares day is of interest to me Peter but life is temporarily on hold pending Marion's appointment with her oncology consultant tomorrow.
