Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a battery that is easily accessible. You can replace it with a standard CR2032 battery. They are available in most pharmacies and home improvement stores. Slide the chrome cover of the key fob to reveal the keys made of metal. Use the emergency key to separate the body from the fob. Insert the new CR2032. Do not touch the top or bottom of the battery since this can reduce battery life or corrode contacts.

The fob requires programming once the key has been replaced. This can be done with the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port that is located in your vehicle. Make sure that all keys have to be reprogrammed together and that keys previously programmed won't work with your vehicle. Connect the newly programmed keys to the OBD port and follow the directions on the screen.
