730d sport 04. I lock the car with remote key, but when i try the doors the car opens.. no alarm nothing..

To arm content theft alarm.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
SECURITY light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

disconnect the battery...wait 30 mins and the pcm should reset.

the car came with 2 RKE FOBs
are both dead.?
alway have 3 FOB if not you can not reprogram a new one. self.
can cost you $300 for more to tow your car to the dealer if the 1 fob dies. never run one fob. or bad happens.
put in a new battery in the FOB for door issues
the transponder part does not use the battery .
the transponder must be good, or the car would never run.
the jeep cuts fuel after 2 seconds if the transponder fails.

hi Alan

what procedure you are doing for remote matching?
try this one and let me know.

1 Unlock the car, get in and close the door

2 Switch ignition on

3 Press the door lock button on the dash to lock the car

4 Press and hold the door lock button on the dash, the alarm will beep

5 Keep holding the door lock button on the dash, press and hold the lock on the remote,

the alarm will beep

Repeat (5) for the other remotes,

6 leave the door lock button on the dash, the alarm will beep, switch ignition off

some times the battery in your remote is dead, replace the battery and try to lock and unlock with the key.

Does it have remote central locking. If it does then it needs to be opened with the remote control. By opening the door with the key is the same as picking the lock to the alarm system so it put's on the alarm and imobilise's the car and actavates the alarm. Hope this help's Cheer's

Hi,

I have a similar problem in my x type. Although if I press unlock button on the key first and then use the metalic key to unlock it dissables the alarm.

Also according to the manual if you unlock by the metalic key the car starts a beeping sound its I think 15-20 second timer within which you should put the key and start the ignition (don't need to start the engin) this will dissarm the alarm if not the alarm will go off in 15-20 second.

Hope this information is of any use, am trying to get hold of Jaguar dealers to fix this issue. If you come accross any solution please do let me know too

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.

sounds like it's in theft mode?
try using the fob to lock and unlock the doors 3X then open the drivers door with the key
if that does not work use the kill switch

Stand in front of the Van and press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons for 10 seconds.
