X-Type Key Fobs


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have a 2003 X-Type 2.5 Sport. A while back the batteries in both of my key fobs died (I have one key on my set on my wife has a key on her set). I replaced the battery in mine first, and synced it with the car (key in ignition, on and off 4 times etc). My key worked fine. Later, I did the same with my wife's key, and hers worked fine. When I went back with my key, it stopped working... I synced it again, it worked, but then my wife's key stopped working. This continues. Any ideas how I can fix this so they both work?

Thanks,

Paul

Hey Paul, easy fix. You have to sync both keys at the same time. When you sync one it erases the keys previously saved. Do them both and you should be good.

Ha! You've got to be up early to beat me to the draw :tank:  As my T Shirt says "Never underestimate an old man with a Jaguar"! (ebay £8.99) 

Well if I wasnt at work, trying to eat, texting the wife, and answering this on a phone I might stand a chance lol

Excuses, excuses, I am also at work, answering emails on my work laptop with my right hand while answering threads on my own laptop with my left hand while riding a unicycle up and down the stairs and balancing a mug of coffee on my head. We don't all have it as easy as you, you know :yahoo: 

Im trying to find the work part of that lol. Sounds like alot of play time to me

Now then Rooster and Paul......this is written from a hospital bed as we both  tried Ron's trick with the unicycle/coffee etc etc so possibly we are not as athletic as we thought.

With regard to the fobs.......although each model has a different synch process (we recently went through the protocol with our XJ8), the principles are the same.

We should suggest that you visit each fob in turn, again remove the battery, and using iso-propyl alcohol cleaner, clean the backs of the button pads, plus lift out the circuit board and clean the contacts....you'll be amazed how much crud there is in there.  Use cotton buds or similar to apply and remove the cleaner.

Once complete and the fobs are re-assembled, take them both to the car and programme accordingly together in the car.   A visit to one of the many jag technical sites should confirm the correct protocol for the X type.

Good luck and, as always, happy growling

Let me  be the first to say get well soon.... but yeah cleaning is always good I have 2 buttons on mine that dont work. Theres something sticky on the board,( cola perhaps) I'm hoping it didn't short out the buttons although a replacememt board can be had on eBay for around 15 bucks US. 

key to this issue though is almost the same on any car. The process of getting into the program mode may change but you still have to do all remotes at once. It's a security feature. Basically if you loose a remote and then get new ones programmed, if they old one was still in the memory anyone who finds it could unlock your car and steal whatever out of it. By erasing all the remotes from memory before saving a new one to memory just ensures that someone finding an old remote cant get in a car later on. Even if it's the factory issued remote the computer sees it as new when you enter program mode

Carole, I am distraught, I completely forgot to issue the warning "DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!" (As an avid Forged in Fire fan this is unforgiveable)j while thoughtlessly posting my unicycle exploits. (Talking of unicycle, do we all remember the late lamented UNIPARTS? A useless attempt by BL to widen their market.). I am however totally concerned, vis a vis plumber's pipes, that you will be unable to direct your own funeral, should the absolute worst happen and the unicycle experiments prove fatal. I hope you have taken Michael Parkinson's advice to heart to cover that very eventuality and are, even now, enjoying your free pen and the prospect of M&S vouchers!

 

 

Good morning Ron, looks like we have managed to go off topic again.........as if!!      Well, indeed, we didn't heed the "Do not try this at home" warning basically because it wasn't there, whilst our Blue Peter & Magpie boxed set didn't once include a piece entitled "Here's one I fell off earlier".

Never mind, we are well on the way to full recovery, being well administered to by Claude who looks very fetching in his nurses uniform borrowed from the wardrobe archive of "Carry on Nursing", although he does seem to cause havoc upturning the trollies in the corridor with his tail which flicks behind him.  Cold NHS meals are not a problem however, as they are piping hot with one Claude administered sneeze.

We are all set up with regard to the potential internment arrangements as we do, of course, have access to a free funeral (primarily because there will be nobody to send the bill to!).  The plumes were at the ready but have now been re-consigned to the cupboard and MOH is about to resume the reccy of Shropshire & Kent S-type V8 locations.......or is he??

Yes, we well remember Unipart (is that where you got your unicycle from?) and MOH fondly remembers the local (Lincolnshire, at the time) Maestro Diesel delivery van which announced its departure from the depot with the wonderful (?) tones of the Perkins diesel clattering across the countryside, and could be heard some minutes before arriving, usually with the wrong parts and a cloud of black diesel smoke.  Emissions, anyone??!!

Meanwhile, we have decided to withdraw the litigation against your good self for failing to issue the H&S warning, as part way through completing the forms the free pen broke, whilst we were so distracted by the M&S "Buy one get one free" plume offer that we became distracted.  Anyway, there is some responsibility on our part, as we forgot to wear our hi-viz, hard hat, plastic goggles and toe-tector boots, plus we hadn't checked the contractual details of our stairs construction (with Carillion) which holds get-out and fall-down clauses.  Doh.

Having confused sundry folk who might come by this thread......time to go and have a look under the XJ8 which is in for its MOT tomorrow.    MOH says all looks well, whilst I would like to boast that I managed to fit the new wiper blade.which had defeated him, so yah booh sucks!!!!!!!

As always, happy growling  (would have put a suitable emoticon on now, but they appear to have gone on their holidays)
