Hi there-
I'm an ex-automotive supplier engineering manager who retired to Mooresville (Race City USA} NC from Laconia, NH nearly four years ago to be near my new wife's and my son's families, and escape from the Winter weather that kept my '09 Corvette garaged four months of the year.
I recently bought a 2011 Jaguar XJL, with a Caviar exterior with Truffle/Ivory and Burl Walnut interior, some 32,000 miles of use, and have since have added "Jaguar" and "5.0" emblems to the trunk lid, Jaguar splash shields, Continental ExtremeContact DWS ultra-performance all-season tires, performed the 30,000 mile service plus the fuel injectors, and also updated the factory NAV (which still sucks big time, along with all the other user-unfriendly center console controls).
I'm still trying to get the Sirius Satellite radio and Homelink garage door opener working properly, but otherwise love the car.
For a limo sized vehicle it's handling and performance is remarkable; it's ride and interior quietness, especially with the Conti tires, are remarkable; it's exterior, interior, trunk and engine compartment appointments, and sound system are unsurpassed.
Being a relatively new Jaguar owner (my last being a '65 XK E type roadster) I certainly will appreciate any help you more experienced owners can provide.

 

Welcome to the forum, Caviar, Truffle, Walnuts, excellent color combination and the start of an excellent stuffing recipe. Forgive me I skipped breakfast. Here is the link I used for Homelink. It worked for both of my cars. HomeLink

 

Thanks for the Homelink info; a gentleman at Scott Jaguar in Charlotte explained the missing step not included in the Jaguar owner's manual; namely pushing the "learn" button on the the garage door opener itself before activating the Homelink button on the bottom of the car's rear view mirror twice after programing it per the owners manual. He said virtually every new Jaguar owner has the same problem getting the Homelink to activate the door opener.
The same dealership was also able to to get my Sirius Satellite Radio working properly, and adjusted the volume on the NAV so I can now hear the instructions more clearly. So, all in all, it was a good day.

 

Welcome, although I'm new to.

 

Welcome.

 

Hello & welcome, sounds like a great Jaguar ....We love pics !!

 

I would love to post pics, and, as rumors have it, I might get a new digital camera for my birthday this week. Can anyone provide instructions for a rather computer illiterate old fart on how to accomplish this?

 

I was blessed on my 74th birthday to not only receive a Nikon COOLPIX L820 digital camera, but also a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Print/FAX/Scan/Copy/Web machine. I would love to replace that silly question mark logo with a pic of my beautiful XJL (X351) Jaguar, and also share some mods to it such as a high gloss burl walnut lockable rear compartment mini bar which I built from a cigar humidor, that straddles the rear floor drivetrain hump and holds six "nip" bottles, a leather covered flask and four stainless steel shot "glasses", plus a funnel. Unfortunately I don't know how to go about doing this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thank, but this info doesn't quite answer my questions. ; but your effort is still appreciated

 

John,

I've sent an eMail from my Hotmail account to your gmail account.

If you reply to it attaching your pics, I'll put them in this thread for you and then explain exactly how it's done.
