With the key fob close by, grabbing any door handle or pressing the release button for the luggage compartment will open your car.

Your Jaguar key fob is equipped with an electronic chip which allows it to connect directly with the Jaguar system. It can unlock doors or windows, operate sunroofs and sunroofs, and even remotely begin your engine. The key fob has rubber seals to protect it from water damage. However, it is essential to remove it from its holder to clean any electronic components exposed with isopropyl or electronic cleaner and a paper towel.

Transponder Chip Keys

Tibbe Keys

Certain Jaguars from the 1990s used the type of key known as a Tibbe key. They require special equipment since they feature flat cuts with precise angles on four sides. They can't be used interchangeably with normal keys, and a lot of locksmiths don't have the equipment needed to cut them. This could lead to lengthy waiting times for owners who need replacement keys. Dealerships might be able to cut them, but they typically charge a substantial amount.

The lock is very interesting. It's comprised of six or eight discs rotating that must be aligned in order for the sidebars of the lock to fall into place to open the door lock or trunk. This is done using a special decoder/pick that appears like a drill. This process can be difficult. This tool is only to be used on the DOOR lock and not the ignition or trunk lock.


There are a handful of locksmiths who are experts in Tibbe keys and their costs are based on several factors, such as time effort, cost, consumables, equipment, etc. The adapter kit for specialized keys required to work on these types of keys may cost several hundred dollars, and they must be crafted manually (or an experienced programmer could use an electronic key machine) for each new key created.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

It is essential to keep an extra battery on hand. If the key fob stops responding to buttons or stops responding to them, it's time to replace it. You may also notice your Message Center alerting you that the battery is running low.

The good news is that changing the battery in your Jaguar key fob is easy, and takes only minutes in your garage at home. The first step is to pry the fob's cover open using a flat head screwdriver or your fingernail. You can break the two seams which connect the halves of the key fob, revealing the blade.

You can slide the blade of the key back once the fob is opened to reveal the battery that was previously in use. The battery will look like a coin with a plus and minus sign on one side. Make sure you insert a new battery of the same type, and make sure it's oriented correctly.

Remember to only touch the battery from the sides. When you touch it from the top or bottom could cause moisture to transfer which reduces battery life. Reassemble the fob, and test the buttons on the remote to check whether they are working again. If not, call your local Jaguar Annapolis service pros for assistance.
