How to Replace a Jaguar X Type Key Fob
The Jaguar X-Type is a budget luxury car manufactured and marketed by Jaguar from 2001 until 2009. It was a front-engined, all-wheel drive vehicle that was sold in estate and sedan body types.

What is the Jaguar Smart Key?
Jaguar Smart Key is a system that lets you lock and unlock your car by using a smart key fob. It also comes with many additional features that will make your daily drives easier and more convenient.
Jaguar offers two types of Smart Key Systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys perform the same functions as traditional keys, including locking and unlocking, as well as remote start. However the Display Key includes a tiny LCD touchscreen that displays various vehicle information including status updates for the engine, navigation and more. It also offers a fast and simple way to control the essential functions of your car including turning on the headlamps, or activating the panic alarm.
To use your Jaguar Smart Key, simply go to your vehicle and place the fob in your purse or pocket and it will sense it. When it is within range, grabbing any door handle will unlock your XE, and also disable the security system. Once inside, you can press the start button to start the engine and then put your foot on the brake to start driving around Rumson and Colts Neck.

How does The Keylab with keyless entry?
The Jaguar Smart Key, unlike traditional key fobs that require you to physically insert them into a slot in your Jaguar SUV, will open the doors automatically if the Smart Key is within 39 inches. You can also control your taillights and headlights using a delay you choose.
The Smart Key can also control the climate controls. You can push the unlock button to open the windows and sunroof. The air conditioning will shut when you close the windows. You can keep your passengers cool by holding the button to lock.
Even your trunk can be opened with the Jaguar Smart Key. The Jaguar XE will detect the key fob when you press it against the handle of the door. You can then open the trunk lid with the Jaguar Smart Key without reaching into your purse or pockets.
Jaguar's security systems meet industry standards and has been recognized as "Superior" by Thatcham (the UK insurance research centre for insurance research). The Jaguar Smart Key, which is part of the system meets the same standards of security like other components like the keyless ignition switch.

How do I program a Jaguar Smart Key?
It may be time to replace your Jaguar X Type battery if you notice that the key fob is losing charge. This is a typical issue for drivers who use their key fobs frequently, or those who participate in active outdoor sports. Fortunately, this process is much simpler than you think. It's also a great option if you're planning to add an additional key fob in your vehicle.
Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a tiny battery that is easily accessible. You can replace it with a standard CR2032 battery. You can find these at most pharmacies as well as home improvement stores. Slide the chrome cover of the key fob to reveal the key made of metal. Use the emergency key blade to break the fob's body, and then insert a fresh CR2032. Do not touch the top or bottom of battery as this may reduce battery life or corrode contacts.
When the key is replaced, the fob will need to be programmed. This can be accomplished using the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port on your vehicle. Keep in mind that all keys need to be reprogrammed and keys previously programmed won't work with your vehicle. Connect the reprogrammed keys to the OBD port, and follow the instructions on the screen.
How do I replace the battery in my Jaguar Smart Key?
If you've noticed that the key fob's effective range has decreased, it's a good indication that the battery should be replaced. The message center may even 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 blade of emergency key, and squeezing the body open. Slide the key blade out of the metal and use it as a lever to pop open the key case. Remove the old CR2032 batteries and replace it with a new one with the positive side facing upwards. The case should be snapped back into its original position and replace the chrome cover.
You can test your key fob after installing the new battery to confirm that it's functioning properly. If the low-battery indicator still appears on the new battery it could be due to oil or moisture from your hands. Try using a lint-free cloth to prevent this issue.
