Hi all, my V6S dark metallic sapphire finally arrived yesterday after five weeks. Auto, pano, all the toys and wow what great fun when you use your right foot!!
Did I read somewhere that the doors should open by approaching with the key and pressing the door handle button? Mine definitely doesn’t - only works with the fob unlock button. Is there a “door locking” setting that I’m missing on the menu screen somewhere?
Many thanks
Doors only unlocking with fob....
@Majordog: To determine whether or not you have keyless entry, does your door handle look like the top or bottom photo?
The top photo is keyless entry and has an actual button on the handle.
The bottom photo is non-keyless entry and has an indentation on the handle.....

If your car definitely has keyless entry and you want to enable or disable it, have a look at this.....

With regards to playing music, my mobile phone is ancient so I've downloaded some albums and tracks onto a USB stick which is plugged into the car USB connection (under the centre console armrest).

When I picked up my 1 year old used F-Type the driver's door wouldn't unlock on the door press. The sales guy always used the fob to open the car, whereas in my previous XKR i'd got used to using the door handle . They changed a module in the door to fix it.

Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!

Thanks everyone. So I’ve definitely got the indent not the button but on my spec list (MY15) it does say keyless entry....
I’ve sorted the Bluetooth, there was a Bluetooth off setting I found.
Finally I have configurable ambient lighting in the spec sheet and in the car menu, but it just says on or off you can’t actually configure it as the menu options don’t work...

Although my car doesn’t have Keyless entry, I have a ‘spec check’ list from ‘cap hpi’ which says ‘Jaguar Smart Key System with Keyless start and Keyless entry. Price £450.’ This is why I originally thought it was included.
I also have a copy of the JLR TOPIx '112 Minor Features' list for the vehicle which shows ‘Keyless start’ but there is no mention of ‘Keyless entry’ anywhere?
Not complaining though!

Have figured out the ambient lighting too....you can’t configure it in dynamic mode (red only!!!) but if you’re in normal mode it will let you configure it (as definitely had it on the spec sheet!)
Unless there’s a menu setting for door locking that I can’t find I think I’ll leave the keyless entry thing - not the end of the world and as some have said perhaps one less security thing to worry about.
