It could be time to replace your Jaguar X Type battery if you notice that the key fob is losing its charge. This is a frequent issue for drivers who frequently use their keyfobs or participate in active outdoor sports. Thankfully, this process is much simpler than you might think.

Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a small battery that is easily accessible. You can replace it by using a standard CR2032 cell. They are available at most pharmacies as well as home improvement stores. To begin, pull the chrome cover off the fob to reveal the iron key. Use the emergency key to disconnect the body from the fob. Insert the new CR2032. Be careful not to touch the top or bottom of the battery, as this could decrease battery life and cause corrosion to contacts.

Once the key is replaced, the fob will need to be programmed. This can be done by using the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port of your vehicle. Be aware that all keys must be reprogrammed together and that previously programmed keys will not work with your vehicle. Connect the new keys to the OBD port and follow the steps on the screen.
