Can the flip key be changed on a Jaguar x type remote and if so how?

Apparently not. I found this super simple procedure to reprogram the remote keyfob. Fingers crossed it will work and save you money -

How to program key for jaguar s type

Trip to Jaguar dealership I'm afraid

Hi

Are you sure it is the key causing the issue and not the car's battery? if the battery has gone dead on the car then the remote will not open it. is there any lights on the key to suggest it is working?

Get back to me
Regards

Have both keys to hand. Rapidily flick the ignition to position 1 four times until you hear a chime then press the unlock key on both remotes. A chime should be heard each both times when you press the buttons

yes it has a battery ,but not sure if just renewing the battery will make it work again,i changed both my batteries on my remotes (spare) without any problem.for
my sovereign

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

hi,when you remove the key from the ignition,does the little flap in the barrell flip down?.if not the key fob wont work.it thinks the key is still in the barrell.after a tiny bit of wd40 on the key it was ok.it pickled me head for ages.maybe its that. paul

Seperate key fobs only can be programmed in the following way.

Turn ignition on/off 8 x times (allow all functions to stabilise) after the 9th on - press a button on both remote fobs. then turn ign. off. use good remote to lock and then try new remote to unlock/lock. sometimes it works first time - sometimes you have to repeat actions. good luck.
