Where do I find the on/off/set switch to the alarm system. I need to program a new KeyFob

Has the battery been disconnected ? to double check remove +
connection first and- after.
Then reconnect with - first and +second......now the alarm should not go off.

the reason the alarm is going off is because the doors more than likely were last locked with the keyfob which also sets the alarm. if you have the keyfob anywhere you can disable it with that and just use the keys normally but if you don't have the keyfob then one can be purchased from your dealer or if you do and it's not working you can take the numbers off of the back of it and look up that model number on ebay and program it for your vehicle.

The alarm is armed if keyfob is used. So you must use the fob to disarm alarm first. So someone can not unlock and open door without keyfob or alarm will be set off.

You can purchase pre-programmed keys only from Jaguar. However you can purchase keys on the internet and match them to your car as follows:-

Jaguar X-Type Programming (Pairing) a Remote KeyFob X-Type 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0L



Programming or pairing a new remote Keyfob for the X Type is a very simple job that will cost a substantial amount if it is done by Jaguar. It's annoying but this may need to be done if your Keyfob battery has been allowed to go flat, or the car battery has been removed for any length of time.
Follow these steps exactly and you should have no problems, pairing old or replacement Keyfobs for your car.

1.)I would recommended that you ensure all key fobs are fitted with new batteries. ( Click here to see battery replacement guide).
2.)Get in the car and close the drivers side door.
3.)Put the key into the ignition and turn to position I.
4.)Wait 5 seconds
5.)Turn the key quickly to position II then back to I four times.
6.)You should hear a single chime.
7.)Remove the Key
8.)For each Keyfob in rapid succesion. Press any single button on the keyfob you wish to pair, you should hear a chime as each Keyfob is paired with the security system. After the chime do the next Keyfob.
9.)Check operation of each Keyfob.

hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob for about 5 seconds. (this will toggle that setting on and off)

Your key fob needs reprogramming, and yes the alarm will go off when you open the door, but you have enough time to put the key in the ignition which will prevent the alarm sounding. Car is usable until you get the fob sorted by locking and unlocking using the key.

There should be a toggle switch that was installed with the alarm system, may be down by your left leg when sitting in the drivers seat. With the key in the ignition and turned to "on", flip the toggle switch twice to turn off the alarm.
