May yet go with an aftermarket back section, but want to see what the ASR module and cats sound like. Honestly, my biggest holdup is I like the appearance of the factory tips and don't feel like going through the headache of cutting them off, potentially having to swell the pipe to fit them to an aftermarket box, etc. (all this is based on assumptions of what is required, not actual knowledge, I haven't actually taken time to look)
I agree, I prefer the factory tips too, but I would never consider that hassle. Besides, I would want the stock piece fully intact should I want to revert for any reason (preference, selling the car, etc)…Some of the after market tips still look pretty good.
I have the IM1 which is primarily for locksmith work, but on the Otofix site, the D1 Lite tool is listed to perform GPF regeneration with Jaguar software 1.40 or higher. I'm currently running 1.70. The D1 Lite is listed on their site for $319.
You can alao find them on sites like aliexpress for a bit cheaper. I never looked at Launch, but I think all of these devices are made in China and sold under various names with one group supplying the software.
I'm not sure if it's required, but for my model, an internet connection is required to get anything done. That may be solely for cloud access to immobilizer data.
I'm going to run the rapid test one day this week just to see how long. It actually takes and if it will drive my neighbors mad. I had problems on the block while running a transmission fluid flush on my Corvette before changing the filter. I expect this to last much longer.
Point of interest, I went on the Otofix website and looked at coverage for the D1 Lite unit and searched with "particulate" for the jaguar F-type and it only came back with diesel particulate management being supported 1.40 and above. Not sure where you saw that this model supports gas particulate filters.
Perhaps only the higher end model does? or it does with 1.70 running on the D1 Lite? But I can't really tell for sure from the website necessarily.
Clearly it is supported by your higher end device based on your screen shots literally saying gas particulate filter.

I notice that now. When I filtered, I didn't catch that diesel was specifically called out. I only saw "particulate regeneration "
I just looked at this. $500? I've got to dig deeper to determine what is being provided.
Yeah man, all the info should be in this thread above. This thing will allow for a fuse 15 pulled equivalent without the GPF management problems talked about above etc
The slightly cheaper one is for older F-types, and the other really expensive one I believe will work on the newest F-types like ours, but you need to splice into the wiring harness...That was a no thanks for me...
Also, the one I've linked here will program to your homelink garage door opener buttons for a more integrated feel, which is nice.
Installed mine, took about 2.5 minutes because I already have the trunk side panels out. Module works as stated, which is to say basically it acts like fuse 15 is out when you hit the button, then behaves normally otherwise.

Nice, good to hear. I would imagine my ASR module should be arriving sometime soon. Looking forward to it.
I’ve been a bad boy driving around all weekend here with fuse 15 out Claws Out style ;-o
I seriously can’t stand not having the exhaust sounds.

Is the trunk panel held in with simple clips or is there more to it? Thinking about placing an order for the ASR device myself.

It's a bit of a pain- probably a 40 minute job if you're used to working on cars generally. The weatherstrip for the hatch needs to come up because a couple of clips hook over the opening to keep the carpet in place, but it's NEARLY all clips save the bilt holding the luggage hook into place.

Thanks for sharing that. Hopefully, I can get the device within the next 2 weeks. I drop my car off on Monday for a window trim replacement. It started lifting on Day 3 of ownership. Thankfully, its a warranty repair! Tech says it's a 2-3 day job.
Another big advantage of this ASR valve control module btw, in case it isn't directly obvious to everyone: You can actually achieve the quietest cold start possible if that is something important to you and your neighbour situation, which is kinda nice.
You can have the valves completely closed the entire time during the cold start, as opposed to the default behaviour of the car having them open for a 5 - 7 second window and then closing (allowing the bark to be heard in its full glory for a bit).
Anyway, thought I'd mentioned this. Based on some of the comments I've seen on the forum here some seem sensitive to pissing off the neighbours etc ;-)
So, this is kind of interesting for anyone that's been following along in this thread...Maybe...
I've had a iCarsoft LR V3 scanner tool for a while now but hadn't gotten around to trying it out. Did that today for the first time. Not much came up, mostly some silly looking smaller things that were historical for the most part so I cleared them.
However, one of them was kinda of interesting. It was marked as intermittent and I was able to clear it: P2169-13
Now that I have my ASR valve controller installed, and I'm no longer pulling fuse 15 etc, I will check here any there to ensure that it does not come back. Perhaps this was related to the pulling of fuse 15, not sure...Likely I would say?
It's talking about a solenoid etc...The first thing that came into my mind was Paul Busby's talk about the solenoid failure or whatever...I have no idea if this code picked on something in that direction?
Thoughts?
Anyway, again, I cleared it and will monitor to make sure it does not return. I'm certainly not expecting it to, but I guess we will see...
Just thought this might be interesting to post up here for documenting purposes in case this could become more relevant over time to the conversations around this fuse 15 stuff...
Cheers

Isn't the ASR plug and play? This code sounds like the wire is cut. Maybe it's triggered after the initial current draw after installation (?)
Could be fuse related as you said as well.
Will definitely keep my eyes open for the code. Car is still getting fitted new window trim at the moment.
I believe this was from before when I was pulling the fuse with my Claws Out setup. Again, I will monitor it to make sure it doesn't come back, which I don't expect it will.
To be clear, I was just questioning whether this could be some evidence that maybe what Busby was saying is true? Not definitive, but is it associated with this solenoid he was talking about that could eventually fail? That was a separate aspect he was talking about that was not exactly the same as GPF regeneration cycles not being able to run.
In other news, I received my Topdon scanner that is supposed to be able to do the GPF functions...I tried that out today too and it gave me a "Not supported" error...lol
All the basic health scan stuff was working just fine, just not the GPF stuff under the special functions menu.
This is after me being assured by their support that it will work. I'm getting some other error that could possibly explain it, so I will work with their support team to resolve things (hopefully). I'm sure it will be something silly. At least we know yours works so it should be possible. This is a reasonably high end machine that I bought from Topdon as well so it must be able to do it.
