It seems that this change broke my LKA cameras. I have reverted the changes back but LDW is not working anymore. I'm getting yellow triangle Forward Alert Warning and LDW doesn't work. :(
When I tried to add LKA I broke Forward Alert, AEB and host of other things. Reverting the changes did put it back to LDW for me.
I suspect that you may have left something else enabled that you need to set back.

You may also need to update your cameras through IPM A to get LKA to work.

Have you been meticulously noting which options you are changing or just clicking boxes in the hope you fix it?

I changed only those settings I mentioned in my previous post if I rember correctly. I would like to check it again but cannot get a new access code for my seed. The site always gives me strange error with some network limit.

You only get 5 free codes a day from the site.

Thanks @Statler for your clue with IPMA upgrade. I have reverted all of the setting already before and did IPMA upgrade even before I started with the changes. BUT it is apparently needed in such cases like I was facing to do one more attempt with IPMA upgrade. When I ran it the SDD told me that I'm already running the latest version of firmware and prompted me to tick red cross. I did so but after that the SDD performed some additional steps which fixed Forward Alert Warning issue. So all is working now like before. Thanks once again.
Anyway after this lesson I give up also doing modifications. None of what I tried worked. It just made me some additional gray hair. This was a good lesson for me and I will leave as is (at least for some time :D)

Let's be honest Peter.. if you were that sensible, you wouldn't have been trying this in the first place... 😁

I vote that we blame @sandmaennle /Dirk.. after all, you probably would've have given up earlier if it wasn't for his initial help... 😀

That's really frustrating :mad:. I feel with you, Peter!
I would have wished it upon you, that your camera and sensor would have been working after all this work you have done.

Some funny facts for distraction: Some were wondering about my nickname "sandmaennle" :) . It is the swabian dialect for "sandmännchen". And the meaning of that is explained on Wikipedia
Wiki Sandmännchen

And why sandmaennle? I don't know :) ... it was a joke back in 1997 during a nice students party. And I kept the email address and the nickname since then...

Cheers

Been following this thread for a while and have finally grown a pair. I've got the laptop, power supply and mongoose cable. I have a 2016 XF S. Any of you guys have a trusted source for the unlocked software package to carry out the mods? Preferably one that doesn't involve buying from the main stealer...

Not me, sorry. If I would you go for a fully unlocked package, I would invest a few EUR more and buy a approved VCI adapter and a topix account with full access for a certain time slot. If you really have the original drew tech Mongoose and not the Mangoose copy, give it a try with SDD + topix account + a licence key for a few hours. And see if that works fine for you.

Thankyou very much for this. I had envisioned that access to topix would have cost a fortune, but it turns out it doesn't. You sir are a star!! :)

OK heres my [non definitive] guide to modifying the ccf on your car using jaguar SDD
This was done on X260 but it's relevant on any can SDD will talk to. (<MY17)

At the time of writing 1.60 is the latest (but older versions will be OK too)
What you need;
A mongoose cable, a clone will be fine, usually around £20-30 from Ali express or similar.
If when you plug the lead into your obdii port and you get loads of errors like aeb not available abs not available etc, disconnect your lead and snip off pin 13. Let the car shutdown lock it. It will recover.
Plug in again and all should be well.
A power supply adjustable to 15v minimum 25A or better.
somthing like this PSU
A laptop with a decent spec,doesn't need to be that powerful but mimium 4GB
SDD software, usually you get this [with a cracked patch] with the lead but you can download it from https://diagnosticdelivery.jlrext.com/idscentral
You'll need a cracked version which bypasses the authentication if you don't want to pay lot £££
or you can buy offline activation for 1 year.
First you need to install the software and the drivers for your lead. You can use the official drivers from Drewtech.com
Connect your PSU up and initially set it to something around 13.5V
Once you've got the software up and running, you're presented with the following screen

View attachment 183233

follow instructions in red box and click on auto vin read.
Let it do its stuff and you should see this
View attachment 183234

You want sdd to see all modules but older versions of sdd will show optional modules and might have red cross in them as you've not got that module fitted. This is ok.
I've got a red cross in IPMB module as I've currenly got my rear reverse camera disconnected.
Ideally you'd want all green.

Note RED arrow top right, this is the battery voltage yellow is ok green is better. RED stop and check your connections. SDD won't let you do any programming if the voltage is too low on your battery.
Next click GREEN arrow to bring up service functions.
Let is scan all modules and as you can see all green here an communicating ok.
Now you can do things like put the parking brake into service mode, check TMPS check DEF fluid levels etc
Pretty bulletproof as you're not changing anything in the car,but if you want to add options you need to enter engineering mode by clicking the key (RED circle)

this will take you to this screen;

View attachment 183235
You need an activation code, there are several sites offering this some you pay some are free. I used this one;
Here
One you enter your VIN and Seed code you get a password generated. Enter that in box.
All going well you'll see the bottom bar of sdd turn orange, this confirms your into engineering mode;
View attachment 183244
Now click on recomendations;
and scroll to the bottom to choose;
View attachment 183237
Click run and your presented with options you can change, first off tick the box at the bottom to see all the options;
View attachment 183243
I was only interested in Auto High Beam and Lane Keep Assist so that's the options I chose.
Change the option from disabled/not fitted to enable/fitted
View attachment 183239

Click the green tick box and let it do its thing.
You be asked to turn the ignition on then you be prompted to download the ccf to you car. Press green tick if you're happy.
Now wait.
You car will completely shutdown as if the battery has been suddenly disconnected, it's a bit unearving but normal. You'll also see your dash needles bounce around and your indicators flash again normal.
You then see complete after 1 min. and to turn ign off then back on.
You'll then be taken through a DTC clear wizard which does just that, clears all the DTC's from the car.
So once here try out your new options.
But....
More than likely you'll need a firmware update to modules.
As the options I wanted were related to IPMA module it made sense I'd need to update the firmware on this.
To do this you go back to the initial screen and press diagnostics.
This allows you to update the firmware on modules as this is the first thing jag wants the technician to do if there's a problem.
So run diagnostics and you're presented with troubleshooting options, I chose electrical->Image processing and this then gives you extras. One of the extras is to update the module;

I ran this and it downloaded firmware from JLR servers;

part 2 Here
Very informative write up and highly detailed very nice work and very rare for someone to share their knowledge on this mystery program. I do thank you sir I would like to know more about pin 13 and why u mentioned to snip it off? Will that have any negative affects when programing modules? Or is it just a hindrance to the cable in the first place?
I ask because my cable presents me with numerous modules "not available"

Thank you.
When using a mangoose cable on a x260 you need to snip pin 13 otherwise you won’t be able to program and your dash will light up like a Christmas tree. The obdii socket wiring must be different on a x260 than a x250
