Yep, VAP offer this option with their tunes.
I don't have it in my VAP tune as I got my tune before they offered this option.
I could get a new tune from VAP with it but I don't see the point as my disconnect the earth lead method has worked perfectly from day one.

Quick question...regarding the Ctek Multi US 7002 charger, does this come with the lighter adapter & is this the easiest approach?

Thanks, Tony

The lighter circuit shuts down at some point when the ignition is turned off, so that will not work to keep a charge on your battery.

It is just a battery!! Jaguar does not want you to damage any of the electronics . Avoid this by disconnecting.

If by this posting you suggest that the battery be disconnected instead of using a battery minder to keep the battery charged, you might want to read the threads related to the CTEK units and others. Disconnecting the battery is NOT the answer.
But perhaps I have misunderstood your posting. This is an old thread,in any case.
