This process is easier than you think. It's also recommended to do this if you're planning on adding a second fob to your vehicle.

Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a battery that is easily accessible. You can replace it by using a standard CR2032 cell. They are available at all home improvement stores and pharmacies. Slide the chrome cover of the fob to reveal the key made of metal. Use the emergency key blade to remove the body of the fob, and then put in a new CR2032. Be careful not to touch the top or bottom of the battery, as this can reduce the battery's lifespan and cause corrosion of contacts.

The fob needs to be programmed once the key has been replaced. You can do this using the OBD port in your vehicle. It is important to remember that all key fobs need to be reprogrammed at a similar time, and any previously programmed keys won't function with your car. Connect the reprogrammed key fobs to the OBD port and follow the instructions on the screen.
