Keyless Entry System
If you've ever spent several minutes rummaging through your pockets or purse trying to locate your keys before rushing out the door, consider upgrading to keyless entry for your Jaguar XE in Phoenix or Scottsdale. This feature adds a degree of convenience and security to your Jaguar vehicle that a lot of people appreciate. Simply walk into your XE with the Jaguar key fob in hand and it will know that you're within reach. If the key fob is in close proximity to your car you can open it by grabbing a door handle or pressing the release button for your luggage compartment.
Your Jaguar key fob comes with an electronic chip that allows it to connect with the Jaguar's system, unlock the doors control the windows, open and close the sunroof and even remotely start your engine. The key fob is fitted with rubber seals that shield it from water damage. However, it is essential to remove it from the holder in order to clean any exposed electronic components with isopropyl and a paper towel. Submerging the key in soapy water or salt water can damage the circuitry, which will require an upgrade of the key fob.
The Jaguar XK key fob also comes with the option to "double lock" your vehicle, providing additional security against theft. However you may find that your Jaguar key fob may not function for a variety of reasons, such as the battery of the coin is dead inside the key fob, or an unpaired key that requires reprogramming by the dealer.

Jaguar introduced a brand new key model for its cars in 1998, that required special equipment to program. These keys have a transponder chip inside, which disarms the vehicle's standard immobiliser system. They must be integrated into the Jaguar's database of keys, which is typically done by a dealer or locksmith. Unlike popular belief, however there are a few locksmiths or dealers are trained to deal with these kinds of keys. Some have even been reported to charge excessively Jaguar customers for their services.

Tibbe Keys
Certain Jaguars in the 1990s had what's known as the Tibbe Key. They require specialized equipment as they have flat cuts with precise angles on four sides. They cannot be used interchangeably with regular keys, and the majority of locksmiths do not have tools to cut them. This can cause long wait times for owners needing replacement keys. Dealerships can also cut them but charge a considerable amount.
The lock itself is quite intriguing, as it consists of either 6 or 8 rotary discs that must be properly aligned for the sidebar to slide into place and unlock the trunk or door lock. This is accomplished by using a specially-designed pick/decoder tool that appears like a drill, and the process can be difficult. This tool should only be used on the DOOR lock and not the trunk or ignition lock.
Only a few locksmiths are experts in Tibbe keys and their costs are based on several factors, such as time work, effort, consumables equipment and so on. The adapter kit designed specifically to work with these kinds of keys can cost several hundred dollars, and each one must be set up manually (or a skilled programmer may set it up on an automated key machine) for each new key that is made.
Key Fob Battery Replacement
It's important to have a spare battery available. The most effective way to determine it's time for a replacement is when the key fob no longer is responding consistently to the push button. You might also see your Message Center alerting you that your battery is low.
The good news is that replacing the battery inside your Jaguar key fob is simple and can be done in a matter of minutes in your home garage. The first step is opening the fob's lid open using a flat head screwdriver or your fingernail. There are typically two seams where the fob's two halves meet, and you are able to carefully pry them apart to expose the emergency key blade.
You can slide the blade on the key back once the fob is opened to reveal the battery that was previously in use. It will appear like a small coin, with the battery's dimensions and a plus and minus signs embossed on one side. Carefully slot in a new battery of the same type and ensure that it is oriented correctly.
Remember to handle the new battery only from its sides; touching it from the top or bottom can cause moisture to leak out and decrease the life of the battery. Reassemble the fob, and test the buttons on the remote to determine whether they work. If G28CarKeys require assistance call your local Jaguar Annapolis service professionals.
