Default Centre air vents

Is there a way to keep the centre air vents raised all the time when the car is off and locked. Just like the look of them raised permanently.

Yep, it can be done, well at least on my MY2015.
Go to Climate, either a hard button on the outside of the centre screen (on my car it is the second down on the left) or a touch screen button (mine is under "Extra Features").
Then Settings.
Then Centre Vent shows a choice of Auto or Always open, toggle it from Auto to Always open.
Even if yours is a much later model it should work either exactly the same or close to it.

Edit - whoops, got it wrong!
Yes that works to make the centre vent "always open" when Climate is "on", but I tested mine just now and as soon as I turn the ignition off the vent closes.
So I don't think there is any way to do what you want - vent open at all times even when the car is off and locked.

Odd. I too thought mine stayed open all the time, but it indeed closes when the car is turned off.

You turn your car off?

Clearly, not very often. Seven inches of snow in the driveway this morning is slowing the cat down a bit. The PS4Ss have their limitations.

I can't believe that your F can't plow that little bit out of your way.

How much snow on the actual STREETS?

Now about 8" for a full half mile. Keep in mind, with the H&Rs, I'm jamming at least 5 of those inches into the radiator. Out comes the FJ40 with 24" of clearance.

Do you want your center vents to stay up for longer?

Then treat your Jag to VIJAGRA.

Your copilot will be amazed at how long they stay up for.

Just get your dealer to install Vijagra in the a/c system.

Keep the vents up for longer, be the envy of fellow owners.

VIJAGRA Only $9.99 Hurry while stocks last.

Is there a generic? :-) My car insurance won't cover it and neither will "vehicade"
