How to Replace a Jaguar X Type Key Fob

The Jaguar X-Type was a high-end entry-level car manufactured and marketed from 2001 until 2009 by Jaguar. It was a front engined, all-wheel drive vehicle that was sold in estate and sedan body types.

The Jaguar X Type, like many modern vehicles has a keyfob that can be programmed onboard. This means that it is able to be programmed by a professional locksmith, without the need for any special equipment.

What is the Jaguar Smart Key?

Jaguar Smart Key is a system that lets you lock and unlock your car via a smart key fob. It has a number of added features to make your daily driving easier and more comfortable.

Jaguar offers two types of Smart Key Systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys have the same functions as a conventional key, including locking in, unlocking and remote starting. Display keys come with a small LCD touchscreen that displays information about your vehicle, like the status of your engine, navigation, and much more. It also provides a quick and easy method of controlling the most basic functions of your car such as turning on the headlamps, or activating the panic alarm.

To use your Jaguar Smart Key, simply approach your vehicle with the fob in your pocket or bag and it will detect it. When it is within range, grabbing any door handle will unlock your XE and disarm the security system. Once inside you can press the start button and put your foot on the brake to start the engine.

Are you ready to experience the convenience of Jaguar's brand new keyless entry for yourself? Take a look at our selection of XE models that feature Jaguar Smart Key at our dealership near Glen Cove. You can also include it on your current model by upgrading to the Convenience Package for $1,200 that's available for S trims starting at $39,900 MSRP or R-Dynamic models beginning at $46,265 MSRP.

How does the Jaguar Smart Key work with keyless entry?

Contrary to traditional key fobs which require you to insert them into a slot, the Jaguar Smart Key will automatically unlock the doors when it's within a range of 39 inches of the interior of your Jaguar SUV. You can also turn on the headlights, and the taillights will turn on in a timed manner that you can select from a number of options.

The Smart Key can also control the climate controls. It is possible to push the unlock button to open the windows as well as the sunroof. If you shut them, the air conditioning will also be shut. If you hold the lock button, you can enable seat ventilation to keep your passengers cool.

Your trunk can also be opened using the Jaguar Smart Key. Just push the key fob toward the door handle and the Jaguar XE will sense it and let you open the trunk lid without having to reach into your purse or pockets.

Jaguar's security system meets industry standards and has been evaluated as "Superior" by Thatcham (the UK insurance research center). The Jaguar Smart Key is a part of this system, and it complies with the same security requirements as other components, such as the keyless ignition switch.

How do I program my Jaguar Smart Key?

If your Jaguar X Type key fob is losing charge, it might be time to replace the battery. This is a problem that is common for those who regularly use key fobs or who play outdoor sports. It's not as difficult as you think. It's also an excellent idea to do this if you plan on adding an additional fob to your vehicle.

Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a small battery which is easily accessible. You can replace it with a regular CR2032 cell. You can find these at most pharmacies as well as home improvement stores. To begin, pull the chrome cover off of the key fob to reveal the metal key. Make use of the emergency key blade to break the fob's body, and then insert a new CR2032. Avoid touching the bottom or top of the battery since this can cause battery damage or corrode contacts.

When the key is replaced the fob will have to be programmed. This can be done by using the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port that is located in your vehicle. It is crucial to keep in mind that all key fobs need to be reprogrammed in the same at the same time, and that any previously programed keys will no longer work with your vehicle. To program a new key fob, connect the newly programmed key to the OBD port and follow the prompts on screen.

How do I replace a battery in my Jaguar Smart Key

If you've noticed that the key fob's range has diminished it's a clear indication that the battery should be replaced. The message center could show SMART KEY BATTERY LOW to notify you that a replacement battery is needed.

You can change the Jaguar key fob battery by sliding the chrome cover back to release the emergency key blade and then prying open the fob's body. Slide the key in the metal and use it as lever to open the key case. Remove the CR2032 that was in place and replace it with a brand new one. Make sure that the positive side is facing upwards. The case should be snapped into place and replace the chrome cover.

When G28CarKeys is installed you can test the key fob to verify that everything is working just as it should. If the low-battery indicator still appears on the new battery, it could be due to oil or moisture from your hands. Use a lint free cloth to avoid the problem.
