Me neither. If you adjust your mirrors right, the monitor is redundant anyway.

LOL! I know thanks for that tutorial on blind spots! No, I've never really ever paid any attention to the monitor light but now I just keep getting the annoying error message on the dash! Hmmm...might just be a fuse or something or someone walked by and banged on my mirror with a big *** purse or something...lol I know how us females are...

I will say it's difficult to judge lane changing distance having your mirrors pointed straight into the normal blind spot per C&D's suggestion. I have mine set that way but I use the monitor as a guide for "timing" when I'm passing or when someone passes me. I ride a motorcycle so out of habit I always shoulder check as well. The Jag has a big ***
. That said, the manual says it's supposed to ignore cars that I'M passsing but I found it does not work that way.
OP, are your side mirrors clean where the camera/sensor is? You might be right re: the purse scenario lol.

Actually, it appears to be working again. My sensor shows someone in my blind spot when I'm passing or when a vehicle comes up on me as well. I too ride a motorcycle so, I'm always cautious and checking to make sure no one is near the vicinity of my bike's or Jag's ***! LOL

Thanks for the link Need4... I always have my mirror adjusted in the traditional way and will try the C&D way next time I'm out... To me, depending on sensors while overtaking another car it asking for trouble and is merely a tool... eyes on the other car will always be my way of confirming what's there. I also have this habit from riding a bike... where there's way more at stake than an accident report... lol

I have had the problem for a couple of months. Unfortunately it did not show up until after the manufacturer warranty expired. I now have the extended warranty but when I went to PATRICK JAGUAR OF NAPERVILLE (Illinois) I was told that the battery was causing the monitor to fail, they then quoted me a price of $375 for a replacement battery which was not covered by any warranty. I declined and purchased one for $169. Regardless, now with the new battery the blind spot monitor is still failing. However the notice is not continuous, it comes on some times but not always.
I am not happy with the service department at Jaguar of Naperville about this.

I acquired my car in March 2016 and the Blind Spot Monitor Not Avail. warning came on daily for 2 weeks even though I cleaned the car. However as the weather warmed up (of possibly as weather became dried) the warning has not appeared since.
I suspect humidity (it was snowing and raining heavily when the warning light came on) and cleaniless had to do with it. I even purchased a Blind Spot Monitor module on eBay ready to replace the faulty right module.
