This Is The Jaguar Car Key Cover Case Study You'll Never Forget
Keyless Entry For Your Jaguar XK

Jaguar left out the extremely desirable ability to control the convertible top operation with the existing remote key fob. This would be a fantastic feature, as it would reduce wind buffeting when driving the XK.

Replace the battery if your Jaguar XF keyfob no longer is working or its range has diminished. 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 some time digging in your purse or pockets to find your keys, before rushing to the door. This feature adds a level of convenience and safety to your Jaguar vehicle that a lot of people appreciate. Simply walk into your XE using the Jaguar key fob in hand, and it will sense that you're within range. If the key fob is close proximity to your vehicle you can open it by grabbing the door handle or pressing a luggage compartment release button.

Your Jaguar key fob is equipped with an electronic chip that allows it to connect with the Jaguar's system, unlock the doors as well as operate the windows and sunroof, and even remotely start your engine. G28CarKeys has rubber seals that guard it from water damage. However, it's important to remove it from its holder to clean any electronic components that are exposed with isopropyl or electronic cleaner and a paper towel. Submerging the key fob in salt water or soapy water can ruin the circuitry and may require an alternative key fob.

The Jaguar XK keyfob comes with the option of "double-lock" your vehicle. This adds extra security against theft. However, your Jaguar key fob may cease to function due to a variety of reasons, such as an empty coin battery within the key fob or an unpaired key that requires changing the program by the dealer.

Transponder Chip Keys

Jaguar introduced a brand-new key in 1998. This key required special equipment to program. The keys have a transponder that disables the car's immobiliser. The keys need to be added to Jaguar's database, which is usually handled by a locksmith or dealer. Contrary, not all locksmiths or dealers are able to deal with this type of key. In fact, some locksmiths have been recognized for charging too much Jaguar owners for their services.

Tibbe Keys

Certain Jaguars in the 1990s were equipped with what's known as a Tibbe Key. They require specialized equipment to create because they feature flat cuts at precise angles on all four sides. They cannot be interchangeable with normal keys, and a lot of locksmiths don't have the equipment needed to cut them. This can lead to long waiting times for owners who require replacements. Dealerships may also reduce them however they will charge a significant amount.

The lock is interesting. It consists of six or eight discs rotating that must be aligned for the sidebars to slide into position to open the door or trunk lock. This is accomplished using a tool that appears like a drill bit and the process can be challenging. This tool should only be used for the DOOR lock and not on the trunk or ignition lock.


There are only a handful of locksmiths who specialize in Tibbe keys production, and their prices differ based on a range of factors, such as time, effort, cost of equipment and consumables etc. The adapter kit for specialized keys required to work on these types of keys can cost several hundred dollars, and every one is set up by hand (or a skilled programer can do it on a computerized key machine) for every new key that is made.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

It's important to have an extra battery on hand. If the key fob ceases responding to buttons or stops responding to them, it's probably time to replace it. Your Message Center may also alert you that your battery level is low.

It's simple to change the battery on your Jaguar keyfob in your garage. It only takes a few minutes. The first step is to break the key fob open using an screwdriver with a flat head or your fingernail. There are usually 2 seams where the fob's halves meet, and you will be able to carefully pull them apart to expose the emergency key blade.

You can slide the blade on the key back after the fob has been opened to reveal the old battery. The battery should look like a coin with the plus and minus signs on one side. Carefully insert a new battery of the same type and make sure that it's properly oriented.

Be sure to handle the new battery only from its sides. Touching it from the bottom or top can result in moisture transfer and reduce the battery's life. Reassemble the fob, and test the buttons on the remote to determine whether they function again. If not, contact your local Jaguar Annapolis service pros for additional assistance.
