Last week I was having a ceramic coating done on my 2016 Jag XJL 'Portfolio'. One of the guys damaged a pillar panel finish (a plastic like non painted strip between the rear window and the rear backseat window).

Anyway, the shop offered to fix it. They ordered the part from the local Jag dealer and I have an appointment to have them replace it next Monday.

My car is 5 years old and I've been meaning to get a new battery (battery is original). So I asked the Jag dealer to put in a new battery as long as the car is already there.

I'm aware that it will be expensive and that I can probably save a few bucks having an indy do it, but time is important to me so it will be done at the dealership.

Which leads me to the following question......is there anything that I need to be aware of when the battery is replaced (reset codes etc??)?

It seems that these cars always have some weird "quirks" in them and i want to make sure that I am aware of them. Anything specific that I should request the dealer to "do" when replacing the battery?

Sorry for the long winded link!

Thanks

 

Hi there
if they change the batterie in a jaguar garage they also should do all the reset of window, radio ,electric hand brake.
if you have the code for the radio
If you do not there is a combination of buttons to push to overturn the need of the code
check on youtube there are videos

 

Or try to find it here on this forum

 

A radio code card came with each of mine, but never needed
Here the security feature appears to be turned off.

 

The link below may be of some assistance. Radio-code.com

Jaguar radio code (radio-code.com)

 

Thanks for all of the information guys!
As I mentioned, I just bought the car six months ago. I’ve looked through all of my files and books and don’t see any radio code.
I got an email from jaguar after I bought the car saying that the dealership changed my “incontrol” password. but I don’t know what that password is either. It looks like it’s pretty easy to reset the password however.

I only use satellite radio on my car. Never AM/FM So not even sure what a radio code would do for me?
I can’t imagine that a Jaguar dealership couldn’t figure out how to install a new battery (on a Jag!) and not mess up the satellite radio but I guess you never know.
Other than the radio, any other issues arise from installing a new battery?
I know on some old Porsches there were a bunch of things that got messed up after a battery was replaced

 

Just noticed you are talking of the x351 jaguar, you will have better luck if you post your question on the other forum thread for that model as this is for the older x350 and x358 cars.
Best of luck
