Hi folks, wee problem with remote for my 2004 s type 2.4d. Remote function ceased to work, it's not the battery tried new ones. Any ideas? Thanks

[ActorBill]

Thanks Ron, I appreciate your response, yes please keep me posted, sounds like you have the same problem. I think there is a company here in Ireland that might be able to help. Likewise I'll keep you informed 

best regards Bill

Hi Chaps

You have a couple of options, you can call a mobile Auto locksmith, or take your car to a dealer, if memory serves approx. £50-ish to get reprogrammed. I know one of JOC members has reprogrammed his, but as you say Ron, I would be concerned about messing up the only working fob!

Regards

Steve

Hi Ron

below are the instructions I found awhile ago, which procedure applies, if any? I don't know, i'm just not brave enough to try

S-Type Remote Control Programming (Procedure 1)

2.) Ensure Drivers door & boot is open.
3.) Hold high beam switch towards you.
4.) Insert key in ignition and turn to accessory position .
5.) Release high beam switch.
6.) Pull & release high beam switch 4 times slowly.
7.) Listen for chime.
8.) Press lock button on each remote to be programmed.
9.) Listen for chime.
10.) Ignition off.
11.) Close & open door.
12.) Test remotes.
 

S-Type Remote Control Programming (Procedure 2)

2.) Turn ignition from O to II four times.
3.) A chime will be heard.
4.) Press the button on each remote that requires programming.
5.) Switch ignition OFF.
6.) Test each remote control.
 

S-Type Remote Control Programming (Procedure 3) (UK Variant)

2.) Get in the car and close the drivers side door.
3.) Put the key into the ignition and turn to position 0.
4.) Wait 5 seconds.
5.) Turn the key quickly to position II then back to 0 four times.
within 6 seconds (do this only once)
6.) You should hear a single chime.
7.) Remove the Key.
8.) For each Key fob in rapid succession. Press and hold the Boot (Trunk) release, lock or unlock button on the key fob you wish to pair, you should hear a chime as each Key fob is paired with the security system. After the chime repeat the process on the next Key fob you wish to pair.
9.) On compleation after all keys have been programed, wait 3 minutes then check the operation of each Key fob by locking/unlocking the vehicle.

Important Note :-All the fobs that you wish to use Must be paired at the same time. Every time you operate the key as in step 5 above the code will be changed, previously programmed fobs will no longer work unless you pair them all at the same time.

As far as I know the ignition talks to the key the moment you insert it, if the car doesn't recognise the key, the alarm sounds. hopefully others will confirm / dispute my knowledge. I wouldn't try reprogramming just yet until you are sure

Gentleman, 

Using Claws suggestions I now have a working remote fob! I think it was No.2 that worked, the main beam option, Claws I can't thank you enough! This has saved be a considerable amount of money. I can't believe this is not made known by jaguar 

many thanks again my friend

Bill W
