How to Replace a Jaguar X Type Key Fob

The Jaguar X-Type is a budget luxury car that was manufactured and sold by Jaguar from 2001 until 2009. It was a front-engined, all-wheel-drive car that was available in sedan and estate body models.

Like many modern vehicles, the Jaguar X Type uses a key fob which is programmed. It is programmable without any special equipment by locksmiths.

What is the Jaguar Smart Key

Jaguar Smart Key is a system that allows you to lock and unlock your vehicle via a smart key fob. It comes with several added features to make everyday driving more enjoyable and comfortable.

Jaguar offers two kinds of Smart Key Systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys perform the same functions like traditional keys, which include locking and unlocking, as well as remote start. Display keys feature a tiny LCD touchscreen which displays information about the vehicle, such as engine status, navigation and much more. It's also a straightforward and quick way to control the basic functions of your vehicle, such as turning on the headlights or activating panic alarms.

The Jaguar Smart Key will detect the fob concealed in your bag or pocket as you get close to your vehicle. When it is in range, grasping any door handle will unlock your XE and disable the security system. Once inside, you can press the start button to start the engine and put your foot on the brake to begin driving around Rumson and Colts Neck.

How does the Jaguar Smart Key function with keyless entry

The Jaguar Smart Key, unlike traditional key fobs that require you to physically insert them into a slot on your Jaguar SUV, will open the doors automatically as long as the Smart Key is within 39 inches. You can also turn on your lights on your headlights and taillights will illuminate with a delay you can select from a range of options.

The Smart Key can also be used to control the climate control. Push the unlock button to open windows as well as the sunroof. The air conditioning will shut when you shut the windows. You can keep your passengers cool by holding the lock button.

Your trunk can also be opened with the Jaguar Smart Key. Simply press the key fob in the direction of the door handle, and the Jaguar XE will sense it and allow you to operate the lid of your trunk without reaching in your pockets or purse.

Jaguar's security systems meet stringent industry standards, and are considered 'Superior' quality by Thatcham, the UK insurance research center. The Jaguar Smart Key, which is part of the system, meets the same standards for security as other components like the keyless ignition switch.

How do I program a Jaguar Smart Key?

If your Jaguar X Type key fob is starting to lose its charge, it might be time to replace the battery. This is a frequent issue for those who utilize their key fobs often, or those who participate in outdoor sports that are active. This isn't as difficult as you think. It's also a great thing to do if you're planning to add an additional key fob in your vehicle.

Jaguar X Type key fobs have a small battery that is easily accessible and you can replace with the standard CR2032 coin cells. They can be found in all home improvement stores and pharmacies. Slide the chrome cover of the key fob off to reveal the metal keys. Use the emergency key blade to break the body of the fob and then put in a new CR2032. Do not touch the bottom or top of battery as this may decrease battery life or cause corrosion to contacts.

The fob will require programming after the key has been replaced. This can be done using the OBD port of your vehicle. It is crucial to remember that all key fobs need to be reprogrammed at the exact as the previously programmed keys won't work on your vehicle. Connect the new keys to the OBD port and follow the instructions on the screen.

How do I change the battery in my Jaguar Smart Key?

If you've noticed that the key's range has decreased it's a sign that the battery needs to be replaced. The message center may display SMART KEY LOW BATTERY to notify you that it is time to replace the battery.

The Jaguar key fob can be changed by sliding the chrome cover, opening the emergency key blade, and then prying open the body. Slide the metal key out and use it as a lever to pull open the key case. Remove the CR2032 that was in place and replace it with a new one. Make sure the positive side is facing upwards. The case should be snapped back into its original position and replace the chrome cover.

You can test your key fob after you have installed the new battery in order to verify that it's working correctly. If the low-battery indicator still appears on the new battery it could be due to moisture or oil on your fingertips. Use a cloth with no lint to prevent the issue.
