It's probably time to replace your Jaguar X Type battery if you notice that your key fob is losing its charge. This is a typical issue for those who frequently use their key fobs, or those who participate in outdoor sports that require a lot of energy. Fortunately, this process is much simpler than you might think. It's also an excellent idea to do this if you are planning on adding an additional fob to your vehicle. Jaguar X Type key fobs come with a compact battery that is easily accessible and you can replace with the standard CR2032 coin. You can find these at most pharmacies and home improvement stores. Slide the chrome cover of the key fob off to reveal the keys made of metal. Make use of the emergency key blade to cut off the body of the fob and then put in a new CR2032. Avoid touching the top or bottom of the battery since this can decrease battery life or cause corrosion to contacts. Once the key is replaced the fob needs to be programmed. This can be done by using the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port on your vehicle. It is important to remember that all key fobs must be reprogrammed at the exact time, and any previously programmed keys will not work on your vehicle. Connect the reprogrammed keys to the OBD port and follow the directions on the screen.
