key fob problem ...

[SteveY]

When re-programming key fobs, where in the car do they connect? Is there an aerial somewhere in the car/under the car. Just had the vehicle waxoiled so wondering why the fobs won't programme. The lights flash on the gear selector as they should, fobs don't flash though. They both worked fine before the waxoil.

hi

on the s-type the key fobs are connected to the driver door module, maybe similar on the xk8

but just looked and looks like yours is in the boot, security module

cheers

Thanks for that Joe ... I see the ignition fob on the convertible lists "on top of the backlight" .. not sure what that means.

Thats where the antenna is for the fob

above  rear light

OK ... What's the antenna then located below  the  bolster behind the driver's seat then? Uk spec side so the bolster on the right of the car looking towards the front. I think it traces back to the security module located under the rear fuse box by the side of the battery. Will look to see this other aerial/antenna by the rear light ..
