The only good thing about this was that the dealership put in a new battery as the '08 is still under warranty.

Since this happend within weeks of my initial purchase, I was beside myself. The local tow shop always sent a flatbed in case the car needed more than a battery start. My XF was the continued interest of the neighborhood, and, of course, not in the usual, desirable way.

You know how the unlock feature is a tad delayed when you press the remote?? And doesn't work at all if the battery is gone? I'm still kinda on edge every time I go to use the car after a couple of days and it has been 2 months! All is working fine - halleleujah!
