How do I program my Jaguar Smart Key?
It could be time to replace your Jaguar X Type battery if you notice that your key fob is losing its charge. This is a problem that occurs frequently for drivers who regularly use key fobs or who engage in outdoor sports. This procedure is simpler than you think. It's also a great thing to do if you're planning to add an additional key fob in your car.
Jaguar X Type key fobs have a small battery that you can replace with the standard CR2032 coin cells. They can be found in all home improvement stores and pharmacies. To begin, slide the chrome cover off the fob to reveal the metal key. Make use of the emergency key blade to break the fob's body, and then put in a new CR2032. Avoid touching the top or bottom of the battery, as this could reduce battery life or corrode contacts.
The fob requires programming after the key has been replaced. This can be done with the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port of your vehicle. Be aware that all keys must be reprogrammed together and that previously programmed keys won't work with your vehicle. To program a new key fob, connect the new key to the OBD port and follow the onscreen instructions.
