Thanks, John. Can you recommend a suitable CTEK? Roger

I have purchased a Vantrue X1 Dash Cam which has a parking sentry to record any activity whilst your car is parked. My car is a 2014 64plate Jaguar XF. I bought a hard wiring kit and got my garage to fit the Dash Cam. The Garage said they could not find a live feed and simply arranged for the power to come from a cigar socket. This means that, after about, five minutes, the power shuts down and the parking sensor is no longer operative. Has anyone any idea how to get over this problem? Regards Roboman

Many thanks to you all for your suggestions. As the car was still in a three months warranty, I got the garage to check the battery. They agreed to fit a new one and, so far, everything seems ok. Once again, many thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

Hi Everyone I have just joined the ranks of the Jaguar owners as I have just recently purchased a 2014 XF Luxury model. Very pleased so far, but I have this low warning battery message and switch off in 3 minutes. I have ignored it and the car starts fine. I took it to a Jaguar garage where they said it was most likely due to the car being on the forecourt for some time. They suggested I put the battery on a smart charger which I did for about 20 hours. The reading was fully charged. I then went to start the car and... yes you guessed, I got still got the 'battery 3 minute warning'. This problem seems to be aired on so many forums, there must be an explanation and solution. I've also been told that to update the internal GPS it will cost £169 and to make sure I had plenty of diesel in the car as they would have to keep the engine running to effect the update via the USB. Does this sound right? Roboman
