Jaguar XK XKR \'07-\'15 Remote Convertible Top Accessory, with/One Touch feature:
$319.95

Jaguar omitted the very desirable ability to control the convertible top operation with the existing XK or XKR SmartKey remote on the 2nd generation alloy body (\'07-15) X150 XK and XKR (also fits the \'06 X150 model available in Europe).

This feature adds convenience, fun and \'cool factor\' to the ownership experience of a convertible XK or XKR.

This unit will add the following features to your vehicle:

• Remote raising and lowering of the top with the original SmartKey.

• Raising of the top with the door handle button

• \'One touch\' convertible top roof console button operation...no more button holding!


You can see these features in action in this video:

IMPORTANT NOTE: ThislistingDOES NOT include the rear window control feature shown in the video. If you want the rear window option, see thislisting: Jaguar \'07-\'15 XK/XKR Remote Convertible Top, w/One Touch & Rear Window Controls

The module comes complete with all accessories needed for installation. All wiring is color coded to match your vehicle, so you simply have to match the colors to the car wiring to install it. Connections are made with included Posi-Taps™, which are extremely simple-to-use reliable wire connectors. The module also has LED indicators (hidden from view at the fuse-box behind the rear seats) which give you positive confirmation of a correct installationand is not visible in any way once in place.

Additional features may be available in the future through software upgrade since the unit is owner upgradeable with an ordinary PC and USB cable.

You are puchasing a highquality item made in the USA with support and aone year warranty. Prompthelp will be available for installation questions.

(Note: SmartKey remote control not included...you use the one that you have that operates the door locks for your car.)

FAQ

There is no convertible top button on my SmartKey fob. So how does this work?

The headlight button on the SmartKey fob, in conjunction with the door lock and unlock buttons is used for the convertible top functions. The headlight button functions are still usable too. For example, to drop the top with the door locked, you press the headlight button once, and the door unlock button once. (On 2012 and later models three consecutive presses of the unlock or lock button is used to remotely operate the top instead of the headlight button).


Are there any safety considerations with the use of this product?

Yes, it is very important to understand that remote operation of the convertible top entails new safety responsibilities, since the top can now be operated without watching its operation.

Please do not purchase or install this product if you do not intend to follow the included safety instructions or do not understand them.


Can I install this myself?

Only you can answer that, but here is a guideline: if you are handy enough to replace a home light switch, jack up a car and put on a spare tire, and assemble a piece of IKEA furniture all with reasonable confidence, then you are up to this job. If not, then you should consider finding someone with at least these skills to do it for you.


I do not want to mess with my car...can I get someone professional to install this for me?

A competent (preferably Jaguar) mechanic can install this, as can some audio shops or custom shops. Always provide them with the instructions...do not expect them to know how to install this without the instructions.

TheJagWrangler LLC also does occasional installations for those of you who live in or are visiting the mid-Atlantic region of the US. Please contact us for installation inquiries.


Do I need any special tools to install the remote top module?

You just need some common tools:

  • 1/4” or 3/8” ratchet
  • 10mm socket
  • T30 torx socket (male)
  • T40 torx socket (male)
  • Cool-running bright light source that you can bring inside of vehicle
  • Scissors
  • Torque Wrench (recommended)
  • Small flat blade screwdriver (helpful but not required)
  • Magnifier (helpful but not required)
  • Handheld hair dryer (helpful but not required)

What happens if I make a wiring error?

The use of matching color coding for the eight wires to connect will make a wiring error unlikely. If you do make one, the unit was carefully designed to neither be damaged nor damage the vehicle for the vast majority of wiring errors. In fact, if you damage the unit for any reason, return it and TheJagWrangler will replace it free within the one year warranty period. (Sorry, we cannot warrant your car against damage of any kind, though this is highly unlikely.)


Tell me more about these Posi-tap connectors you provide?

Posi-taps are a patented wire splicing connector that requires no tools and no solder, yet are exceptionally reliable. Unlike T-taps and \'suitcase connectors\' which are commonly available at the local auto-parts store, Posi-taps do not slice through the insulation weakening the factory wiring, and thereby leading to failure. Posi-taps just make a pinhole in the wire, so the wire retains its structural integrity. They are significantly more costly, but I would not use anything else on my vehicles. For more information, see else is included with the module?

All the materials you need. The module includes the color coded wiring harness to match your vehicle. Ample zip-ties, Posi-taps and industrial strength self-adhesive Velcro (to mount the module on the fusebox) are also included.


Does the console top control button still work?

Yes, plus you will no longer have to hold it with the one-touch feature enabled.


Does this module allow the top to operate when the car is in motion?

Yes, you can initiate the one touch feature up to 15 mph. Once the cycle is started you can go faster, but we do not recommend operating the top over 30 mph.


Can I use the remote to operate the top from inside the car?

You should only use the one touch feature from inside the car.


Will this effect my automobile warranty?

Any aftermarket modification might effect your warranty if you still have one. Installation is at your own risk.


Can I download the installation instructions?

Yes. I ever need to return the unit for repair, do I need to disconnect all the wiring I installed?

No, the module is connectorized. You can simply unplug it and return it for repair in the unlikely event repair or replacement is needed.


Will this unit drain my battery when the car is off for a few days?

No, the module is designed to have negligible standby power drain.



This product hasbeen discussed on Jaguarforums.com and other Jaguar forums. Here are some of the unsolicited comments:

\"Well, Steve, I finished the install and couldn\'t be happier. The remote works perfectly and your instructions were pretty much fool proof. I\'ve never tackled anything like this before and to be honest, I\'m quite proud of myself.

Thanks again for your hard work in developing this module. As Jag mods go, it\'s dirt cheap and very functional.\"


\"All installed and working.I don\'t know how I lived without it!!! OK, a little exaggeration for effect but I seriously love this. Thank you Steve. By the way, I also wanted to share, for people that don\'t know Steve, the high quality of the product. He also proactively sent me updated software and manuals.\"


\"On the weekend, my son and his girlfriend were over and she was admiring the XK in the driveway. She asked how the car looked with the top down, so I told her it operated by voice command and to go ahead and say \"top down\". She did and when nothing happened, I instructed her to put her left hand in the air and her right hand on her hip and to try again, but louder. So, without hesitation, she complied and with the push of the buttons on the key fob in my pocket, down the top came. She was amazed. My wife gave me the evil eye. Sometime after dinner, I looked out our front window and there the young lady was, left hand in the air, right hand on her hip, presumably trying to put the top up. I could have had some more fun with her, but by this point, I had tears in my eyes, I was laughing so hard\".


\"I am very pleased with the remote system and the service follow-up by Steve K. I have now had the remote in operation for almost two weeks. Every time I either open or close the top remotely I get a big grin on my face. As to stopping the top in midstream, I have done so a few times both on purpose and inadvertently with no ill effects.\"


\"Steve is a pro. Installation instructions were dead on. Could not have been easier. Had an issue w rear window controller and Steve couldn\'t have been more helpful. Issue resolved and this unit is simply awesome. Thanks Steve.\"


\"Just fitted this to my 2010 XK and it is so coooool !!\"


\"The price is very reasonable but expect to pay VAT [in Europe] on receipt. It does take about two weeks in the post but when it arrives it\'s well worth it. The instructions are clear and detailed provided you follow them carefully it is a fairly easy installation. From now, I no longer have to hold my finger on the roof up/down button until my arm aches!

I can have my rear windows up when driving with the top down! And I can open and close the roof with the remote from outside the car. Fantastic!!\"


\"Thanks to you, Steve, for developing such a great, reliable and functional product for our verts. I actually had another XK owner follow me into a parking lot last week to ask me how I got my back windows to come up with the top down. When I showed him how they worked and the remote top, I thought he was going to pass out. I extracted your contact details and website URL from my i-Phone and gave it to him.\"


\"Just want to say thanks from another happy customer with the unit now installed and working perfectly first time.

I want to echo what the others are saying here, the kit and instructions are of very high quality, not hard to install, and works perfectly.\"


\"Had mine installed this morning, works a treat. Remote opening & closing very classy, and the one press open/close is a godsend, no more holding on for 16 seconds whilst simultaneously trying to park / depart.

I went for the rear quarter window install, and a slow circuit on my neighbourhood suggests that in combination with the wind deflector, there is a reduction in wind noise. Will try a faster run this evening to see the effect at speed.

WhiteXKR (aka Steve / TheJagWrangler) - superb piece of kit, I\'m really chuffed with it, thanks for all your development work !\"
