Wait, for info on this? What does the diagnostics mode do?

Mostly dealer mumbo jumbo that nobody understands, but there is some useful info like battery voltage and dashboard lights testing.

That must be a British thing. I mean, I know some people have fog where they live.... I grew up with it. But where I live we never ever ever have fog.

It's a European thing in general. Mercedes and Audi have them. I believe VW and BMW remove theirs for the NA market.

The older Alfa Spyders have them, and my even older Porsche 911 had them. It is better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them...You don't gotta use them, but it is nice to know that you have them if needed....

Hmm I can't get the diagnostics mode to pop up. I have the MFD with the A/B, Reset, and ML/Km buttons. Which one do I press and what is the exact sequence?

These are High Intensity rear lights... not only for Fog conditions... but mostly to be used when driving in heavy rain (check out the F1 guys and see theirs)

You press the trip button that's on your turn signal arm.
With the car off hold the button in. Start the car and continue to hold the button in for several seconds after the engine is running.
To cycle through each diagnostic simply press the trip button over and over.
Most of them are gibberish, but some like the dashboard test are pretty neat.
Don't get scared when it tests the gauges

I ALWAYS use these when it rains where I live... Mostly because the people around here have no clue how to drive in the wet, so I like to give them an extra heads up that I am in front of them. Not that it matters, since most of the drivers in Vegas are either drunk or texting while driving anyways.

plus if someones tailgatin' you, flip em on and they'll think you hit the brakes and back the eff up

If they're wired like the UK ones you can't have them on without dipped headlights.

That's what I use 'em for too!

Tried the window thing and it worked on my 03...pretty cool but I hardly bring the windows down.

My '92 XJ40 3.2 has central locking. I usually have it parked at my office with all the windows down just a touch. If I unlock the passenger door (to access the glovebox for example) and lock it again the windows will all close. If I unlock and lock the drivers door the window stay down where they were.

Go figure.

>If you hold the lock button on the keyfob with your windows down, it will lock the car and roll the windows up 8)

Nope no do that on my '05, as someone else said earlier that must have been something they discontinued by '05... :-(

Windows go up with the key but not he key fob on my 04.

Same here. Would be way cooler if it worked with the remote because only poor people lock/unlock their doors by actually sticking the key in it.

turns into a thread for cool things we wish our Jags would do.

I have an '04 X that does it. Just some jags are programmed with it, and others aren't. Read some of the earlier things, The keyfob was not programmed for the NA cars due to lawsuits. But you can still get it programmed at a jag dealership if you REALLY want to.

Is it the keyfob itself or the car that hast to be programed?
