The Jaguar Activity Key Eliminates the Need to Carry Your Primary Key

The Jaguar Activity Key is an ultra-lightweight wristband that allows users to carry only their primary key fob. It's perfect for things like hiking, boating, and running to run errands around Huntington Harbor.

To activate it, you must shut off your vehicle and keep your normal key fob inside the cabin. Then, press and hold the tailgate release button to activate the Activity Key antennae for 30 seconds.

Locking and unlocking your vehicle

When you're traveling the last thing you want to do is spend several minutes digging through your pockets or purse to find your Jaguar key fob. The new Jaguar XE is equipped with technology that takes away the hassle of looking for your Jaguar key fob in Rumson and Colts Neck. Known as the Activity Key, it's a wristband that is light and lightweight, allowing you to unlock and lock your car. It does this by recognizing the standard Jaguar smart key fob that is still inside the vehicle. Press the tailgate release button to activate the antenna of the Activity Key. Then press it against the Jaguar "J", located on the rear tailgate of your vehicle. After a few seconds the hazard lights flash to indicate that your vehicle has been secured and locked.

The Activity Key is about the size of a Fitbit-brand sports-activity monitor. It is sweat-proof and waterproof. It comes with a wristband extension that can be adjusted to accommodate various sizes. Consumer Guide tested it and found it to work very well.

Contact Jaguar Monmouth if you would like to add Keyless Entry to the Jaguar XE. We can upgrade your vehicle to a $1200 Convenience Pack which includes a powered tailgate that automatically shuts and opens as well as a heated power-fold mirror in the door with a light for approaching to increase visibility.

Unlocking your car even if you're not

The Jaguar Activity Key frees you from the need to carry a traditional key fob whenever you go on outdoor excursions like mountain biking, kayaking, and skiing in Glen Cove. The Activity Key wristband lets you lock and unlock your car while you are doing these outdoor activities.

To use the Jaguar Activity Key without being in your vehicle, make sure that the doors are closed and the tailgate is opened. Then, press the tailgate release button to activate the Jaguar Activity Key antennae and then, hold your wristband against the letter "J" in the Jaguar logo. Once you've done this your car will start to unlock and the hazard lights will flash.

This method is easier on modern cars with the power door lock buttons located on the armrest. In older cars you'll need to put wire or a rod hanger for clothes in the space between the window frames on the front door and the body. This means you can slide or press the door lock flipper of your vehicle or button to open it. Once you've opened the door of your car and you're ready to utilize the wristband for the other buttons.

Storing your key fob in your car

One method to avoid messing around with your key fob is to place it inside your vehicle. You can easily access your vehicle by placing your key fob in your pocket, on your belt or in the console. Just make sure that your Jaguar XE has sensed the key fob before trying to open doors or unlock it, and you'll be good to go!

You can also use your key fob to activate your panic button. This feature is intended to deter criminals from your car when you are in a remote location, like parking garages, so that it allows you time to act. Simply press the button, and the alarm will blare that should be enough to deter criminals from committing any kind of crime.

When you find that the range of your Wichita key fob is decreasing it's most likely time to replace it. The Message Center in your Jaguar vehicle could also show SMART KEY LOW so that you can address the problem. To replace the battery, slide or take off the fob cover and utilize the emergency key blade to remove the body. Insert a brand new CR2032 with the positive side facing up, then replace the cover. Make sure that it clicks firmly into the proper position.

The pairing of your car key with your key

Jaguar models come with advanced technology that improves your driving experience. Keyless entry is one example that lets you unlock your car without needing to search for keys or reach into your pockets. To utilize this feature, simply place your smart key fob close to the Jaguar XE, and it will detect it. If you pull the door handle, the alarm will be deactivated and the vehicle will not be locked.

For additional security, you can lock your vehicle with the Jaguar Activity Key. This wristband is perfect for those who like to take on active excursions, such as mountain biking or hiking, in Glen Cove. Simply press the tailgate release button to activate the antenna, and then secure your wristband to the Jaguar "J" to lock the vehicle and disable the primary key fob until you return.
