i hate to add to this confusion but i just went and confirmed, i can raise and lower my spoiler at will. it works while moving or stopped, and it auto raises well before 70mph (maybe 60?) and goes down at 40. i can also lower it after it has been auto raised with a simple push of the button at any speed. 15 V8S Vert US

I can manually raise the spoiler at any speed below 120 km/h, but I can not lower it above 80 km/h if it has been automatically raised at 120 km/h.
If automatically raised at 120 km/h, it will automatically be lowered at 80 km/h.
If manually raised it will stay raised untill I manually lower it.

And we all sound new or are newbs. Lol
To the new gent, find the "what things did you discover after owning your car" thread, for sure.
Also, I think vert can raise / lower but coupe cannot because it can obscure vision, and it was a nhtsa?

I don't recall ever reading a rationale for why Jag chose those MPHs for deploying and lowering. What harm would it do to raise at say 45 and lower at zero?

My first year service is coming up soon and I intend to ask the dealer about changing the parameters. Seems to me that it would be a simple matter of altering the constants embedded in the code. I know that doesn't address your question directly because there would still be no way to raise and lower the spoiler on demand.

Most of the time I run this way:
Deployed my coupe spoiler halfway (just a little more than horizontal) and disconnected the motor with a switch I installed.
To answer OP:
Yes I figured out how to manually control it, but it involves running too many wires for my liking.

The spoiler is only fully functional on European versions. In the U.S. The spoiler on the coupe goes up at 70 and down at 50. It can only be raised via the button when parked (for cleaning purposes). It will retract from a parked position at speeds exceeding 1mph. There has been discussion on the forum about this, but no one seems to know how and if this function can be overridden.
Launch control is only available on the V6 S model. The manual says... not available on all variants.
