Default 2001 XKR SIlverstone with no Garage door remote link

Do all XKR's come with the remote link for the Garage door? If so I can't find mine. My roof console has no buttons. Just lights. With a car that has every other option Jag offered why they left this out is beyond me!

There should be 3 buttons between the lights on the overhead console. If you don't have them, someone must have replaced your console with an earlier year unit.

mark, PM illium, he has a wrecked XKR with grey interior and can sell you his overhead console. Its a kung-fu grip, pull down removal procedure.

cohi, you may have to 'calibrate' the compass, in the manual it says to drive very slowly in a tight circle, maybe twice...seriously, its in there. Otherwise, you'll just see a C or blank square...you even have a blank square? Maybe your mirror was replaced...

mine has one, plus the nav system. That is very odd. You can try to swap yours out if you want, there's a rebuilder of those mirrors listed in threads around this forum, with a trade you may be able to get one with N-S-E-W and all the E/W combinations in between!

I guess it is just one of the things I don't have. I wonder if they don't want you looking in the mirror if you have a supercharged motor.. Maybe Jaguar wants you looking straight ahead on.
