The other day after I finished wiping down my black, xk convertible I double locked it (I know, not really a double lock in the US but it sounds better than ‘double clicking’) and then did a cursory walk around. I stopped and said, under my breath;’ damn this is a good looking car’. The jag responded with a chirp and the side light blink.

Seriously!

Was it saying thank you?

I think that probably the electronics were acting up and it took a few seconds for the second chirp and light blink one gets with the double lock” but the coincidence was enough to bring a smile and chuckle.

You asked "Was it saying thank you?

Of course it was, even though you acknowledged that a double-beep is an error message after trying to double-lock your XK. The human mind is limitless in it's capacity for rationalization, and simply made you believe that error message was a thank you. It's the relentless pursuit of feeling good.

 

Thanks!

I'm fairly certain you lock it twice for extra lockiness. The real question is did you leave the top down while you did it?

As a base XK Owner, I would say that the NA 5.0L will be the least desirable model, down the road. XKR, XKR-S and XKR-S GTs will be the collector items in the future. I have no regrets getting my car, but if I was buying now, the supercharged versions are what I would be searching out. The good news is there is a lot of cross compatibility mechanically with the F-Type which might keep some parts available for longer. The interior plastic parts, head units and electronics will be harder and harder to come by.
