Just thought I’d share this:

I came across a stop/start button cover while browsing ebay last week and thought I’d take a punt and order it. It was only £10 so wasn’t expecting it to be anything special. But I’m actually pleasantly surprised by it.

Granted, it won’t be to everyone’s taste but personally I think it looks good and not cheap/tacky like I thought it would be. Something quite satisfying about pressing the Jaguar growler down and hearing the engine come on.

Here is a link to where I purchased incase anyone else fancies it:

That's what I was wondering too. Doesn't seem so though. I kind of like it but wouldn't want to hide the heartbeat.

I’ve never noticed the ‘heartbeat’ I just saw the light flashing. Didn’t think anything of it. Ha!

I’ve just checked it now in the dark. The red background does light up

Ok, so the red part is transparent. Do you just stick this on top of the existing button?

The heartbeat is a nice little feature that was introduced with the XF back in 2007... it flashes at the same rate as a jaguar's resting pulse. :)

When was the x150 XK(R) released - they had the heartbeat, too.

Yes it just sticks around the perimeter of the existing button and there is a soft part under the growler part that presses down on to the original button when you press it

The red part is always red but slightly transparent so when the light is in it shines through I’ll attach a photo (sorry for the quality)
