Hi all. Just bought my first 4.2 S type and loving it. 2004 pre sat nav model. A question though. I need to programme a new  original Jaguar remote fob. Checked all the YT vids but none work.

Could go to my local jag man but I am assured this can be done without that unwelcome cost. Anyone had any luck.

Thanks in advance. 

Hi Mark and Welcome to the Club,

I found the following which was posted some time ago by another member. I have not had to use this advice myself but others have and seemingly with success. Hope this helps with your problems. Let us all know how you get on.

Cheers,

Steve
