How do I program a Jaguar Smart Key?
If your Jaguar X Type key fob is beginning to lose charge, it might be time to replace the battery. This is a common issue for those who frequently use their keyfobs or participate in active outdoor sports. This isn't as difficult as you think. This is also a good option if you're planning to add a second key fob to your car.
Jaguar X Type key fobs come with a compact, easily accessible battery that can be replaced with a standard CR2032 coin cell. They can be found in many home improvement stores and pharmacies. To begin, pull the chrome cover off the fob to reveal the steel key. Use the emergency key to remove the body from the fob. Insert the new CR2032. Be cautious not to touch the bottom or top of the battery, as this could reduce battery life and corrode contacts.
After the key is replaced the fob will have to be programmed. You can do this using the OBD port of your vehicle. It is crucial to keep in mind that all key fobs need to be reprogrammed at a similar time, and any previously programmed keys won't work with your car. To program a new key fob, connect the reprogrammed key to the OBD port and follow the onscreen instructions.
How do I change the battery in my Jaguar Smart Key?
If you've recently 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 BATTERY LOW to notify you that a replacement is required.
The Jaguar key fob can be changed by sliding the chrome cover open, releasing the emergency key blade and then prying open the body. Slide the key blade out of the metal and use it as a lever that can pop open the key case. Remove the CR2032 battery and replace it with the positive side facing upwards. Snap the case into place and replace the chrome cover.
You can test your key fob after installing the new battery in order to verify that it is working properly. If the new battery displays a low-battery warning this could be due to oil or moisture transfer from your fingers. Try using a cloth that is lint-free to avoid this issue.
