If your Jaguar XF key fob is no longer working or has a range that has decreased it's time to replace the battery. Here's how to do it.

Keyless Entry System

It is worth considering a keyless entry upgrade on your Jaguar XE if you've ever spent just a few minutes searching in your purse or pockets to locate your keys before heading out the door. This feature adds a degree of convenience and security your Jaguar car that many appreciate. The Jaguar key fob will be able to detect when you are within range of your XE.

However, it's important to remove it from the holder in order to clean any electronic components that are exposed with isopropyl and a paper towel. Submerging the key in soapy water or salt water can damage the circuitry, and require an alternative key fob.

Each key has to be programmed manually for each new key.
