Default my cherp has no cheep....!

Hi all, I have a xjr on a 98. It has issues......don't they all, but I adore her so I'm working through them all.........my security system, arms and functions fine but there's no 'cheep' from it when it arms, when it goes off it sounds the horn so what's with the missing cherp........?

Perhaps, but I'm sure we didn't ban Sally.



Now can we stay on topic please?

It's a dealer setting.

Howie,
Take your car to your local indy or Jag dealer, it will take about 10mins to switch it on.

At the same time ask to see what else the car is fitted for and whether or not it can be switched on or off.

Hi all, I would be interested to find out more about these "Dealer settings". Why does the dealer have to set them? Can I turn them on and off myself? What would I need to do that? Like most of us (I think) my Jaguar is a little out of warranty and I don't want to take it to a dealer or mechanic unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks. Cheers

I'll bet you were looking at Norri's second post while typing that.
