System updates for extra features

It would be nice to see a list of users updates or requests to gain new or extra features from the car.
For example, it it possible to have the sunroof close automatically when it detects rains ( i had this option on my VW CC and if i left the sunroof open and went inside, if it rained it would close automatically)
It would be nice to have a list of hacks such as global close to include sunroof closing etc ....
Add to the thread if you know of any , thanks.

unfortunately you cant really add any new features to the car that dont already exist in some-way-shape-or form. for example, the auto close sunroof you speak of, is not something jaguar has ever offered, meaning there's no such code that exists that would check for rain and automatically close the sunroof...nor is it something that can be added unfortunately.
there is one "hack" i recently learned about...however its physical hardware you need to install into the car...that would allow you to auto close the trunk from the interior button and remote fob
the things you CAN do through software, is enabling/activating features via SDD (which is jaguars software). this would include something like enabling heated seats if your car originally didnt come with it, and you manually added seats that have the functionality. the key word here is enabling/activating....because you cant activate features that dont exist (i.e., massage seat function on seats that dont have the massage mechanism)

That is how the front park assist sensors worked in the X350's, the predecessor to the X351. The X351's are a step backwards. On the X350's, there was a switch to disable Park Assist until next power cycle if you found it annoying. All I can imagine is that Jag received too many complaints of false beeps from the front sensors, from trucks with air brakes or heavy snow storms, and figured it would somehow be better to force the driver to enable them on when they think they need the front assist. Having owned an 2004 XJ from new where the front park assist is automatically on at lower forward speeds, I can say that I far prefer the occasional false beep with having it on all the time to that of forgetting to turn it on when it could have warned me of something in front of me. It should just be on.

It needs enabling in the CCF: MultiCAN 469, bits 0-2 (PARAM_MCAN_PDC_AUTO_ACTIVATE) set to 02 hex (010 binary).

can the sunroof be slide opened fully from a single press of the button, i.e a long press or something , it seems silly to have to open tilt and then slide open , having to press it twice.
Also if you forget to close the sunroof and have switched off ignition, you have to switch the ignition back on to close, can it not be programmed to close with global open or global close or even better a configurable option to autoclose when ignition is turned off ?

@mc690 , My XJL(X351) includes the SUNROOF in "GLOBAL CLOSING". I use it often.
1. turn off the engine
2. get out
3. press the close button on the remote control for 3 seconds
4. yes, operate.
I was able to find this function setting in CCF(with/without sunroof). Of course my Jag is a basic feature. Maybe... looks like localization option for safety..?

I will test to be absolutely sure . . . on the key fob, long press the unlock button (all doors unlock all windows and sunroof open). From memory, the doors fire first, then the windows and the sunroof last so keep pressing down the unlock button.
Long press of the lock button does the opposite. YMMV

It's not a hack it's an added feature using an aftermarket control box. The car does not know it's even there. No programming or complicated BS.
