Keyless Entry For Your Jaguar XK Jaguar did not include the highly desirable capability to control the convertible top operation using the existing remote key fob. This would be a wonderful feature, since it could minimize wind noise while driving the XK. Replace TheKeyLab if your Jaguar XF keyfob no longer is working or if its range has decreased. Here's how to replace the battery. Keyless Entry System It is worth considering a keyless entry upgrade on your Jaguar XE if you've ever spent a few minutes digging around in your pockets or purse to find your keys, before making your way to the door. This feature adds a level of convenience and safety to your Jaguar vehicle that many appreciate. Simply walk into your XE with the Jaguar key fob in hand and it will know that you're within reach. When the key fob is in close proximity to your vehicle, you can open it by grasping a door handle or pressing the release button for your luggage compartment. Your Jaguar key fob is fitted with an electronic chip that allows it to connect directly with the Jaguar system. It can open doors, operate windows and sunroofs and even remotely start your engine. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that shield it from water damage. However, it's important to remove the holder from which it is stored to clean any exposed electronic components using isopropyl or electronic cleaner and a paper towel. The submersion of your key fob with soapy or salty water will harm the circuitry and may require an upgrade. The Jaguar XK key fob also offers the option to “double lock” your vehicle, adding extra security against theft. Your Jaguar key fob could be inoperable due to many reasons such as dead batteries inside the keyfob or a lock that is not paired. The dealer will need to reprogramme the key. Transponder Chip Keys Jaguar introduced a new key model in 1998. This key required specialized equipment to program. These keys are equipped with a transponder which disables the vehicle's immobiliser. They must be incorporated into the Jaguar's database of keys, which is normally done by a dealer, or locksmith. Contrary to popular belief, not all locksmiths or dealers are prepared to deal with this type of key. In fact, some have been recognized for charging too much Jaguar owners for their services.

These require special equipment to create since they have flat cuts that are precise on all four sides. They are not interchangeable with standard keys, and many locksmiths don't have the specialized equipment needed to cut them. This could lead to lengthy wait times for owners who need replacement keys. Dealerships are also able to cut them however they will charge a significant amount. The lock itself is fairly interesting, since it is made up of 6 or 8 rotary discs that have to be aligned properly for the sidebar to slide into place and open the door or trunk lock. This is done with an specialized pick/decoder which appears like it's a drill. It can be difficult. It is crucial to remember that this tool should only be inserted into the DOOR lock, NEVER the ignition or trunk locks as it will cause it to jam and break. There are a handful of locksmiths who specialize in Tibbe keys, and their prices are based on many factors including time work, effort, consumables equipment and more. The specialized adapter kit required to work on these types of keys can cost a few hundred dollars, and every one has to be set up manually (or a skilled programmer may use an electronic key machine) for every new key made. Key Fob Battery Replacement The majority of key fob batteries degrade over time, and it's vital to keep an extra one in the case. If the key fob ceases responding to buttons or ceases to respond to them, it's time to replace it. Your Message Center may also alert you that the battery is low. The good news is that replacing the battery inside your Jaguar key fob is easy and can be done in a matter of minutes in your home garage. The first step is to open the fob using an flat-head screwdriver, or fingernail. There are typically two seams where the fob's halves meet, and you are able to carefully pry them apart to expose the blade of emergency key. You can slide the blade of the key back once the fob has been opened to reveal the old battery. It'll look like a small coin with the size of the battery and a plus and minus symbols embossed on one side. Make sure you insert an additional battery of similar to the original and then orient it correctly. Remember to only touch the battery from the sides. Touching it from the top or bottom can cause moisture to be transferred which reduces battery life. Reassemble the fob and test the buttons on the remote to see whether they function again.
