Default Block heater cord

I notice a plug in the front bumper for the block heater on my 2014 xjl. Does anyone find a cord to put some électricity in that? Does the block heater is 120 volts? The dealer doesn't seem to know much about that...

A common extension cord should work. 120 volts is standard in North America, and should be appropriate.

It is not a standard plug.

I've asked about it at my dealership too but they were not helpful.

Anyone know with certainty?

Going from memory from posts elsewhere on the forum, I think the there is a short jumper cable that is required. I think there was an argument that it should have come with the car and not have to be purchased separately. Or not.

Pretty small picture. But that looks like the receptacle used on a common personal
computer. C13/C14 is the IEC type. Forget which one is the male and female.

Take the cord from your computer and see if it fits.

If not, post a bigger picture.

Oh, it's a 2014? Call the sales department or Jaguar Canada.

The block heater cord should be in the glove compartment
or somewhere in the trunk.

Not worth it if it is a computer power cable though. Everyone
has dozens lying around these days.

it is not a standard plug, you will not find it anywhere in North America. The unit is made by a company called " CALIX"

here is the link.

But if this is a new car then the dealer should give you the cable for free

Here's a biger pics. Defenitively not a computer cord. I've look at the calix web site but can not find any picture like this. It's amazing to have something non-standard like this. Remember all the portable phone plug few years ago. Just apple continue to have weird plug change all the time...

I bought a 2017 FPace 20d and had the same issue regarding not having a cord to plug in the block heater. I ended up looking on kijiji and found a wrecker that had one and it was sent to me the next day. The cord is made by a company called Calix.
It was $70 including shipping and the dealer near me wanted $270
It’s worth trying to find a used one on a private ad or a wrecker that handles Jaguar and other foreign vehicle parts
This wrecker is in Alberta and ships Canada wide.

I emailed info@calix.se and they sent me local dealer info. I was able to pick up a 2.5m cable for my 2020 Jaguar FPACE 30t R-Sport... fits fine. My actual part number was 1762622 (MS 2.5 115V) $80 CDN!!!
