Looking for advice on where to purchace a good quality key fob for my 07 XK convertible. Are there aftermarket brands that are good quality? My dealer here is out of stock.

Hi

I agree with David and have the same set-up in mt XF Sportbrake. The CTEK stays in the boot along with the comfort lead which sits in the boot space permentantly attached to the battery. Just plug the charger into the comfort socket, plug in the charger to my extension socket and close the tailgate on the cable.

I also use the CTEK battery sense which is left connected to the battery and then talks to the app on my phone by bluetooth so I always know battery state of charge and voltage. Very reassuring but perhaps a bit OCD 🙂

Thank you sir!!😎

Welcome to the Club Michael!

I keep my XK on a CTEK battery conditioner when it is not used for a week or two.

This keeps the battery fully charged, but will not overcharge, so can be left on indefinitely. I leave mine on charge for a couple of months at a time when we are away in New Zealand.

I have a comfort lead permanently attached to the battery, with a connector in the tailgate, and run the mains lead through the corner of the tailgate, which can easily be closed over it without causing any damage. I have been doing that for the last six years without any problem at all.

Hope this helps!

Thanks my friend, what model do you recommend? There are a number of them on the market.
