That's a great anecdote.

Wow you really showed off your car! Sounds like it must have been fun, apart from the battery issue...

It was a lot of fun. I can tell you that I was the only one giving test ride in the EV show in Montreal and Quebec earlier this year, as well. Jaguar should really give me some perk: Free extended warranty, for instance ? Anyone from Jaguar listening here...

Thanks Ayepace! Is it possible to check BMS, BCM etc firmware versions, somehow?

If you can read the OBD2 bus with any tool of your choice, there is plenty of PID related to hardware, software, config, etc... on each ECU
Here is what you can read on the BCM/Gateway module (My gateway module has been updated). Don't ask me which PID is the hardware, which one is the software, I don't know....

Anyone succesfully order an Exide EK151 from Latvia on ebay ? and installed in in the car to replace the Aux battery ?

 

[Ayepace]

Solved this with alternative battery solution.

See 2020 MY and before Auxiliary battery replacement for replacing the auxiliary battery on vehicles so equipped.

I did locate one place that does mail order in the US for EK151 battery. It is All European - Genuine, OE & OEM Parts for your BMW, VW, Mercedes, Mini, Audi, Porsche, Land Rover, Saab, Fiat but their price is as bad as getting a JLR labeled battery from a JLR dealer.
