Welcome to the forum Jaglady16,

I've copied the question from your Intro to S-Type forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Thank you very much Graham

 

its possable your new key pads is on the wrong mhz frequency .

have a read of this ling and give it a go

https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...bility-130256/

but if your trying to use a new key , although mhz's do matter it still needs to be programed via obd2.
I'm not familiar with the 2001 but I'm quite shore you need a dealer type scan tool to pair s types with the key . and multiple keys must be programed all at once . i think the instructions you've seen on tube must be of a different model jaguar .

 

unfortunately there is no user procedure to pair a remote fob with your car, you will need the assistance of a dealer or someone with a scantool.


as per the above post the S-Type remote uses different frequencies depending on country, the US uses 315MHz and UK/Australia 433MHz. This can catch people out when they buy remote fobs from eBay.

 

Thank you very much for your help..

 

you don't need to have the keys paired to your car. I had my original key cloned by a locksmith. It took him half an hour including cutting the key. Just phone around to find one who can do it.

 

Thank you for your help...but my key is working great it's the key fob that will not activate to open or lock my car... have you any ideas???

 

Can you clone the fob?
Timpsons can allegedly do the keys in the UK.

 

Thank you for that tip..😊

 

why would cloning work? the original keypad is faulty as is the replacement.


keypads can't be cloned as they rely on a rolling code for security.


Jaglady your best option is to call a local Jaguar dealer and get a quote unless there's a member with a scantool local that's kind enough to assist. If you were in Melbourne, Australia I would program it for free.

 

Have you read this thread
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xj-xj6-xj8-xjr-x350-x358-28/jaguar-key-fob-2001-2009-facts-all-you-need-know-faq-87749/
It will probably help you.

 

that information has only been tested on XJ models, and the key fob programming does not apply to the S-Type. The only helpful bit of information in that thread in relation to the S-Type is post #6 by Norri.


please don't provide inaccurate information as it is unhelpful and only confuses the issue. As stated previously the only way to code a new fob to the X200 S-Type is via a scantool.

 

Dear Dopey,

this has not just been tested on the XJ models. If I have understood Jaglady16 correctly she has not replaced the whole key. Therefore transponder does not recoding. She has replaced Key Fob part number 1X43-15K601-AJ. When you have two keys that have the original upper portion of the key fob (where the transponder sits) Then you can reprogram the buttons.

Jaglady16 has stated that her car is 2001 so I assume that she has the clap key

If you would like an address of a locksmith in Poland who can clone one key so that you have two fully fuctional Keys I will be quite happy to supply you with the address (I have had it done for 450 Zloty.

 

A clone key is just that, an exact clone. Therefore the car cannot distinguish between the two keys as it has the same code. It's the same as inserting the same key twice.


A cloned fob will not work, as they rely on a rolling code which changes each time the button is pressed. It may work to start with but they will quickly loose sync.

 

Ok if you know better but I am still using my copied Key 6 months after I had it cloned and both still work but if you want to spend dealer prices that is up to you.

From my experience I will still rather spend 110 us Dollars for a new car key including cutting and programming instead of going to my local jaguar dealer who wanted over 300 Dollars to make me a new one and program it.

 

Hi
Thank you very much for your advice 😊

 

you are obviously very confused with what the issue is, jaglady16 has a working key, as per her post #8.


Its the remote fob part that isn't locking/unlocking the car.


I never said a cloned key won't work, I said a cloned fob won't. Please read threads carefully before posting.

 

I have read the post correctly and ALL of my key was copied including the fob and it still works. I am not a locksmith so I do not know how they managed to do it but they can do it when they have the correct equipment.

jaglady is having issues with the key fob, not the key. If you're claiming that cloning a faulty fob it will suddenly work then that is very bad advice.


We don't know what the issue is, it could be an issue with the security system or faulty receiver. No locksmith will be able to diagnose that.
