Eco Start

However, in as much as you have the schematics, do you have any suggestions about cleverly disabling the Eco Stop Start function so that I don't have to put up with pushing the off button every time I fresh start the car. I know I can disable it by disconnecting the negative cable to the small battery but that also produces a fault code. Any knowledge with regard to tricking the system like using any of the Stop Start inhibitors like the trailer light circuit to fool the system into thinking you have a trailer and inhibit the function? Or using the brake boost sensor circuit which also inhibits the function?

Search the forum and/or "Google" disconnect Eco Start/Stop Jaguar. There's a lot of detail on the subject and many "how tos", based on year and model. Originally, all one had to do is disconnect the small battery, as newer models came out, it was buried way down deep in the electronics, but still doable.

Holding both mirror select buttons on the driver's door of my 2017 Jaguar XJL (Supercharged) only folds the mirrors in / out. How do I determine if the "folding mirror" feature is being turned on / off?

My 2014 XJ does what yours does. Holding both mirror selector buttons down either folds them or opens them both. I could only get them shut off at the dealer. However, getting the folding feature turned off also turns off the remote mirror adjustment as well.

Double locking

Yes, I know that if the locking button is pressed twice, the dinky little horn does it "Beep", but since I don't like to announce anything, the mirror position is my reassurance.

I know, I'm old.

Actually, pressing the lock button twice does more than just give a beep. It locks the interior door handles as well as the outside ones, so someone can't break a window and open a door from the inside.
