OK, I've gone through the manual and searched the internet in an effort to avoid asking an embarrassingly stupid question, however, have come up short, so here's my query.

Inside the center console, at the rear of the box, there is a small opening with a sliding cover. What, in the love of God, is it.

 

That is for "porting "your key if/when needed. Should be page 37 of your owners manual.

Irregular remote control operation
If difficulty is experienced with remote
keyless entry, passi
ve entry, passive
starting or Jaguar Smart Key operation, it
may be caused by:
•
internal battery low voltage and
therefore the battery should be
replaced, see page 40, or
•
high levels of localised external
electrical interference e.g. radio
transmitter.
Until the battery can be replaced, or until
the vehicle is outside the local electrical
interference zone, the Jaguar Smart Key
must be inserted into the starter control
unit.
1.
Lift the lid of the centre console
stowage compartment.
2.
Slide open the cover of the starter
control unit.
3.
Insert the Jaguar Smart Key into the
recess with the emergency key
release button facing forward

 

Appreciate that, Leeper. Good thing to know if the fob battery bites the dust. while you are being chased by your mistress's husband. I accidentally found the docking location the other day when I was searching for an Auxilliary outlet in my 2008 . Of course, I eventually learned that there isn't one.

 

When you insert the fob it will lock in place, you'll hear a little motor sound. To get your fob back, press down again and it will be released.

It took me a bit to realize that the usb port was in the glove box, not in the center console. I'm torn as to whether I should use that or the ipod. Or neither, and enjoy my sirius/xm.

 

I've had to use that function a few times.

 

How many mistresses do you have?
