Thanks Buck. Is that info from personal knowledge ie. have you done it? If so, that's a definite sticky. We'll all need it eventually.

I know its worked for a number of people, unfortunately I didnt know about it when I could have done with it when I had my X type.
Works on S Types and X350 models too
