Boot locked

[plonker]

Hello from a new member 😀 

My boot is locked on my 2002 xk8 

When I press the boot button in the car, it says valet locked, I  I turn on the car using the black key, still locked, I put the key in the secret key hole between the xk8, it will not unlock, then tried the button on the boot, still locked, the fob does not work, I have changed the fob battery and reprogrammed both keys, the boot is still LOCKED,  PLEASE ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS 

REGARDS

Hi Eddie, if I remember correctly, the XK8 has a "Valet" button on the fob which must have been activated - pressed inadvertently. To reset out of Valet mode, you need to unlock the car - driver's door, from fully locked, using the black headed key - not any of the fobs. For some reason, this information is not contained in the Owners manual.
