Default Yay! My first electronic gremlin...

...I was beginning to feel left out.

So... here it is. I have Sirius in my car, and the presets keep clearing themselves. Not on the first set, but in Sat2 and Sat3. Happened twice today. Battery checks out fine -- been driving it every other or 3rd day for the past week even.

Anyone else share this pain or am I going to have long and fruitful talks with Service?

Congrats. I've owned four Jaguars so far and each one had a different gremlin. The one before my current was a 1984 Grey Market XJS bought new in Switzerland and shipped into Atlanta GA. It hated my wife with a passion. It would not start, run or you name it if she sat in the driver's seat. My current 07' has a couple quirks but nothing major so far.
Glad you joined the rest of us.

Since I bought my 08 a year ago, I have experienced most of the low battery charge related gremlins. Things finally cleared up and have had no problems for the last couple of months...

Finger crossed...

I'm wondering if turning on the seats and steering wheel too soon after startup causes enough of a voltage drop to have these odd things happen. I think that's plausible...
