I bought a 2006 XK convertible as a hobby and toy a month ago . Lovely to drive and I am generally enjoying fixing the issues . I changed the battery and discovered afterwards that the seats on a 2006 and 2007 model had early seat controllers that need to be re set by Jaguar after a battery disconnect to work again fully . Googled it a lot and found it's a known issue, I did not read before I changed the battery.

Local independent Jag specialist will do it , 30 mins labour plus VAT so about £70. However I no doubt will disconnect again as I sort the issues. I have Icarsoft V3 but there is no seat calibration in the menu.

Has anyone on here got a solution. It's a reset rather than the solution in the manual of moving to all ends of travel and holding the button.
I need a scanner like the one I have that does seat resets. Any solution welcome. Thanks

As an update as it may help others in the future

I bought iCarsoft V3 JLR version. I already have the multi car version so it was a bit of a flyer , but on investigation the JLR specific version has a lot more Jag functionality .
To cut a long story short , a bit of fiddling as the software is simple but a few sub menus to discover and I got the seat back upright , set a good spot and saved it .

So a success and a shout our for iCarsoft LR V3.0 .

Lets see what this car brings me next !
