Default Coding our F Types- is it possible?

For those of you familiar with the process I was wondering if anyone has had it done with the F Type yet? With my Audi I was able to increase the led DRL brightness, turn off the amber DOT lights (US), remove the Nav warnings, enabled the remote key to raise and lower all windows and moonroof, and a few other cool things. I was able to do similiar things with my M5 and M6 as well.

I was hoping maybe that was a possiblity here...

I don't have a list of options available but for sure there are features that can be changed using the SDD diagnostic system. Dealers (and some others) have these systems & could do that sort of thing for you.

Here's a video of the SDD system. Looks like the poster also sells copies of SDD on ebay, but not sure if they are legit. I thought SDD requires a subscription from Jaguar, but I could be wrong.

As your cars are new / still under warranty, i'd be inclined to get your dealer to do these things for you.

I just went in to my SDD with an F-Type VIN that I found on a for sale ad in the US, V6S convertible, the vehicle is too new for the software version I have, so a dealer will be your best bet as they should always have the latest SDD version.

Great question, It would be awesome to have a few early coding adopters here. I bought a coding cable for my BMW M6 and changed all kinds of things. I was able to enable hidden options like GPS speed, additional HUD display options, disable NAV warning and set passenger weight threshold for airbags / seatbelt chimes, etc. Everything was in German but the forum had a very active coding community so lots of support.
