I have had a quick look at the manual. Which system do you have? what is the issue? and which component are you trying to access?
There are over 28,000 pages so if you outline which bit your after perhaps I can find it and post it and help.


According to the manual. The audio system is available in three versions:

Thanks for reply, I;m trying to remove the panel to access the seat belts with a view to swapping them, I cannot figure out how the panel removes, so if you can throw any light on how to I would be grateful, searching the internet has not thrown up any results for me.
Cheers Stu.

From what I have just looked at this is called "passenger compartment rear trim removal" section although I could not find any specific instructions for accessing the main seat belt housing (which is where the pretensioners, explosives are etc). Note the seat belt system is also connected to the airbags and various other safety systems and includes pages and pages of warnings and references to other procedures and specific torque settings and access to structural components of the vehicle the restraint system is attached too.

I personally don't want to post something that might be wrong, none model specific or result in issues or safety issues further down the line. Other members may wish to assist at this point but I am bowing out.... (gracefully I hope).

Thanks, just forget about any mention of seat belts, Its the panel that's the problem if I can remove that I can at least access the situation behind it before deciding on any action, just cant figure where its held in??????

This thread on the “US” forum has some photos with the panel off that may give you some indication of what’s behind the panel.

And here’s a link to few pics of the panel and shelf location pins which may help in removal.

Kev, thanks, in the first link the pic shows the panel still in situ (very RH of photo) so it is a separate piece and not either of the items the breaker is selling.
Proving a bit elusive to find info on this

Ah sorry just realised you have a convertible so will have the roll hoops.

BUMP …………………. Still struggling for a how-to for gaining access to behind this panel...………...anyone help, don't want to break anything attempting it myself??

Stu, Nip in to your main dealer & have a word with the Service advisor or even a Jaguar approved body shop. The worst that can happen is they tell you to get lost, :lol: but I doubt that

 

[stucart]

Thanks i'll give that a go when can find time perhaps if nothing comes via online.

I would also like to remove this panel to check the antenna connections. I have a roadster also, perhaps the rollover bar trims have to come off.

The antennas are in the boot lid behind the trim, but hopefully this is the guide to removal of rear passenger compartment trims to get at the seatbelts and other electronics. This is for a 2020 convertible but was written in 2013 so probably not changed much.

Thank you, very helpful. The main dealer said that the antenna was between the seats, behind the rear panel. The "Limited SOS Function" warning is still showing. I thought I would check to see if the antenna had been replaced correctly.
It was supposed to have had a new antenna and module battery. I can see they have been in the centre seat area because the clips are now broken and the panel flaps around at the bottom.
I will have a look behind the boot lid trim (it is a roadster). I suspect they have not removed it previously, as it has not fallen into the boot yet.
The engine was left running so long in the workshop, the supercharger pressure control valve stuck open. I was given a normally aspirated engine back after the so called repair. I freed off the valve and now it feels OK.
I can now see why head gaskets can be an issue after a dealer visit. Why is the engine left running so long?
If I cannot find a capable dealer in the Lincoln area I am sorry it will have to go. I am used to Audi products and service.

Only the radio fm and dab antennas are in the boot lid, not sure where the SOS antenna is so it may well be behind the centre trim.

Thanks for the update, at least I don't have to destroy all the plastic trim studs.
