What annoys you most about your S-Type??

Every morning when I start the car, the wipers swipe across the window two times. My car is in the garage and there is no water on the windshield. This does not happen when I start the car numerous times during the rest of the day. It is almost like something "resets" overnight. ![Icon Werd](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_werd.gif)

I believe they are designed to take a cut crystal whisky glass.
The black hole indeed.

Some weeks ago purchased S -Type. Seller did not leave an impression of the most honest man in Universe, but price was good and car looked good enough. Given the fact that the vehicle had a fresh sticker of annual technical inspection from Road Department, I figured that it should not have massive problems. One thing though, I did not notice immediately was issue with climate control unit - it was blowing hot air at set temperature of 28 degrees and cold at 26. Decided to take it to dealer service for checkup and repairs, guessing how much it will be. I told them to find and fix everything fixable change everything they think needs changing. So after a day in service they called me and told that they are almost done and everything will be total of equivalent of USD 650. That was a good news. Then they told that regarding Climate control - there is an issue with the module and it needs replacement and they will ask producer for the pricing. Reading in this forum issues with Climate control units, I suspect that it is going to cost me some more significant amounts. However, I am not yet annoyed with anything.

If you don't have one PLEASE let me know as I was unaware that only certain cars had that option... or was it a smokers option?

I don't use my cigar lighter as a power source at all--the manual says not to.
We use the 12V outlet in the console--most chargers and electronics have USB ports and cables. I can charge 2 phones or a phone and my Nook or other device--keep in mind this is my daily driver and I have teenagers with lots of devices.
If you need more than that there are some really nice and inexpensive multi-port chargers.
My current annoyance is my faded shifter knob and wheel cap covers, but I've put in a word with Santa--I see he's a Mercedes man though so my hopes aren't really high.

Mine has a telephone image and a telephone fitted. It has a speaker / sound image on the steering wheel button (not a bluethooth one!) and it works as expected. Have you misunderstood the image?
I'm not sure when BT was first offered as an option - check the brochures you can find on the net I suppose, and/or the Tech Guides and/or the elec guides.

but anyways, try it with the auto off, see if that makes a diff. If so then I'm sure the sensor must be going, dirty, or what ever.

One in on the front center dash in ashtray in front of j-gate shifter. Second one is located in the center counsel behind the cup holders. Open it up, remove miscellaneous rappers, Barbie girl cd, and atm receipts and see the power point.
If you don't have one PLEASE let me know as I was unaware that only certain cars had that option... or was it a smokers option?

I wire up at least one extra 12v power port in all of my vehicles. I hate having crap plugged into the cigar lighter in the STR. One, the angle is not great to get a charger in there, second I hate having the ashtray open at all, i like everything to look clean, and third the ashtray light hits me in the eyes (I'm tall, so I'm basically sitting in the back seat with the seat reclined really far so i get that ashtray light in my field of view).
So, for my external Sirius satellite receiver that i have mounted next to the A pillar, i simply wired in another 12v outlet under the dash, near the hood release lever. I wired another into the glove box, and another into the trunk just for sh*ts and giggles.
Let's keep it sleek people! LOL!!
BTW - I'm clinically suffering from OCD, if you haven't figured that out already.
