I have a 2014 XJR LWB. For some reason the rear console was missing the cupholder so I would like to order one. Looking on Jaguarparts.com linked below, it pulls up 2 options, which confuses me. "Cupholder- Without supersport, with electric. $105.72" & "Cupholder- Without supersport, without electric. $103.91"
I'm not exactly sure what could be electric in the cupholder, can someone explain the difference?
Also since I'm asking questions, wondering if anyone has any recommendation for a high performance brake pad that will produce less dust, because the dust is crazy.
Lights inside cupholders?
The high performance pads (racing) almost all generates dust, since they are soft and bites.Nothing is free, so they also wear faster and are noisy. You might want to go good quality street pads, exsample Ferodo, Brembo etc or EBC stuff for less dust. One trick is waxing the wheels so the dust don´t stick so much.

Lights inside cup holders= this isn't part of illumination package? I thought that was just the air vents and door sills. I guess whatever it is, mine would be "without electric" as there is nothing in the rear console except a missing cupholder but I would really like to know exactly what the other one is.
I do try to use a wax on the wheels but am considering if a ceramic pad would be better and want to know if anyone switched to a pad they like better than the OEM.

Do you have a link to some pads you think I should try?
"... as there is nothing in the rear console except a missing cupholder but I would really like to know exactly what the other one is.
Ahh.. Sorry: Just noted you meant rear cupholder. Did misread that. Rear arm rest have electrics in higher models for rear seat adjustments and/or charger for rear entartainment remote controller.
I tested EBC Redstuff pads but did not like them in winter when temp went under -20C. First nothing and then bites hard what made brakes totally uncontrollable in winter months, so i changed back to OEM:s.
On my 2014 XJR I currently run Porterfield R4-S pads. These are NOT race pads! Porterfield R4-S Pads
Could the electric version have something to do with the rear seat packages that are so rare? I have seen a motorized clear tray that comes up to hold the champagne glasses on certain high end rear seat packages?
Something like this? Lot's of electrical stuff in the rear seat console too?
