Hi everyone.need help on how to locate and change the batteries(f1 switchshift) on my jaguar 2000 model xkr450 paramount.
Bought it 1 month ago and from what i understand the batteries are somewhere in the steering wheel

 

No idea... But Man,,, share some pictures. I've never heard about nor seen one of these things.

 

YEAR 2000 MODEL 450BHP

XKR450 PARAMOUNT GROSVENOR GRAND PRIX

 

Holy SMOKES!!!
Wow, Man. Where can I get one ah THESE!?

THAT is a really pretty machine.

If you would. What are the batteries your looking for control? The small buttons on the back of the steering wheel?

 

yes.the f1 switchshift gearbox from racelogic

 

Are you sure there are batteries there?

 

sweet looking machine but damn I love the 2-toned interior!!!!

 

is it possible those buttons just unscrew and the batteries are inside

 

There is a procedure to remove the Airbag on YourTube. This will reveal any Batteries that are within the Steering wheel body.

 

I wish you could still get those kits. Would be a cool upgrade to our cars.

 

I have changed my steering wheel a couple of times, as well as the airbags, and wheel controls. No batteries found

 

Having worked on a car with this system I believe there are no batteries.

 

SPOKE TO COMPANY VIEZU TECHNOLOGIES LTD WHICH REPRESENTS PARAMOUNT PERFORMANCE AND THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL.
THE BATTERY FOR THE F1 BUTTON IS LOCATED IN THE HORN HOUSING IN THE STEERING WHEEL.ITS A 9V BATTERIE.
THX EVERYONE
BELOW IS A VIDEO FOR MY CAR MADE BY .O&DR MODUROL for anyone who wants to see it

 

What a beautiful and fantastic vehicle! That is by far the nicest XKR I’ve ever seen!

 

That would be a jag ..the whole thing relying on a PP3 battery !!!

 

Would we have it any other way?

 

Wow

 

If you still have the car I know exactly where this battery lives - I would send a pic but I can't log into the forum on my phone. It's a box like cover on the rear right hand side of the steering wheel released by two tiny allen screws sunk into it. The battery is a p9 and the system seems to eat them! For pics etc ( I have what I whimsically call Paramount 450+ because it has all the mods of the 450 and a few that came along since.. ) you find me in the custom/modded Jag groups below:
