Remote Convertible Top Controller for the Jaguar X150
Introduction
Jaguar omitted the very desirable ability to control the convertible top operation with the
existing XK or XKR SmartKey remote.
This feature adds convenience, fun and 'cool factor' to the ownership experience of a
convertible XK or XKR. It is handy for saving time as you walk to the vehicle and lower the top.
It can also help you to locate the vehicle in a busy parking lot and save you time as you
automatically close the top.
Three consecutive presses of the exterior door lock handle button will also raise the top for
added convenience.
As an added attraction, the Remote Module provides a 'One Touch' operational feature to the
top button on the roof console inside the car. The days of holding the convertible top button on
the roof console until the cycle is finished are over!
As an option, rear window control is an add-on feature when you install the remote top module.
This will let you raise the rear quarter windows with the top down to reduce wind noise and
buffeting during top down motoring.
Once you have these great features, you will not know how you did without them!
The module comes complete with all accessories needed for installation. All wiring is color
coded to match your vehicle, so you simply have to match the colors to the car wiring to install
it. Connections are made with included Posi-Taps™, which are extremely simple-to-use reliable
wire connectors.
The module also has LED indicators (hidden from view at the fuse-box behind the rear seats)
which give you positive confirmation of a correct installation.
