How can I reprogram my Jaguar X Type Key so I can unlock and lock my doors?

sounds like the pats (passive anti theft system) is not recognising the chip in the key try a spare key if you have one if not try to get it reprogrammed you may have to go to a jag dealer to sort this out may be the reluctor coil around the ignition barrel has gone faulty

Your lock system is broke or damage. Get your car to a electromechanics

Replace the battery in the remote.

If the car goes "beep beep" when you try to lock the doors something is still open.
otherwise
Sounds like a defective keyfob try a new battery, try your spare if you have one.
If you don't have a spare you should get one anyway.
You can match your new keyfob to the car by following instructions here:= http://www.bluejag.co.uk/X-Type-keyfob-reprogramming.php

Have both keys to hand. Rapidily flick the ignition to position 1 four times until you hear a chime then press the unlock key on both remotes. A chime should be heard each both times when you press the buttons

hi, try disconecting the battery for a couple of hours and try again but make sure you have your stereo code. if this does not work your key fob may be out cync with your ecu and will require reprograming it is easy on x type , you can do it your self ,you can find the instructions in jag forums or ebay for 1.99

It sounds like they disconnected your battery when they worked on your car....
Try this and see if it works..


1-insert and remove key from ignition two times

2-close and open driver door two times

3-insert and remove key once from ign.

4-close and open drvr door twice

5-insert key into ign.,then close driver door

6-turn key to on (not start) then off, twice this is rewrite mode,have all remotes to reprogram it will clear any lost remotes.

7-remove key from ignition,the door locks should cycle twice.if not start over.it may take a few tries.

8-press lock/unlock together and hold for a second

9-release,and press lock on remote,the door locks will cycle confirming program.continue to do other remotes you have,steps 8 and 9.if only one in possession,you are done. To end mode open door or insert key into ignition.

You'll need to follow the steps with no more than a 1-2 second delay between each step.. hope it works

I recently changed the batteries in the key of my 2001 Audi TT. To reprogram it, I needed to take this 1 key to the vehicle, click on the unlock button and within 1 minute, open the driver side door manually with the key. It worked.

you need to reprogram keys with the module. there could be a problem with the module though , you need to check it out

Your key fob needs reprogramming, and yes the alarm will go off when you open the door, but you have enough time to put the key in the ignition which will prevent the alarm sounding. Car is usable until you get the fob sorted by locking and unlocking using the key.
