Hello.

I just bought a really nice 92 XJS convertible but it came without the keyless entry remotes. Does anyone know if and where I buy two replacement remotes?

I'll post some pictures to add to our XJ8 VDP.

Thanks all.

Stephen,

Seems it might be cheaper to buy direct from Jaguar for collection from your local Jaguar Dealer. See here:

You can programme the trnsmitters to the car yourself. Write back when you get them and the procedure can be explained.

Good luck

They don't list one for the US. Its under except Japan, 318 Freq. is used for US cars.

Paul gave me a link to Heritage Jaguar in the UK and the two replacement wireless fobs have arrived. Paul, if you're there, can you please let me how to program them?

Thanks.

Stephen

 

Let us know how this goes.

I have a fob I have been trying to program. I disconnected my security module which is required to use the fob from what I have learned.

 

I was in my local ACE hardware, a franchise of a large chain. Big sign advisaing of keyless fobs service.


Caveat. The selection of keys and replicating machine was impressive. but, I wanted a spare key for my new to e ignition switch. Their catalogue identified two blanks that could be cut to match mine. but, neither in their stock. Sent me to thje local old time Locksmith. Quickly identified, cut, fitted and tested. Even cleaned my switch!!!


My Jeep came used to me, sans fob. I got one via Ebay. programing it not hard.
Swapping in a fresh battery far more fiddly. t is hanging on the key rack.I do it the old way...


Daughter called me in a panic. No entry to her VW Passatt. Dead battery???
She was amazed that her slick little FOB also included a key!!!!
For some odd reason, it came with an after market alarm. Two functions just to get jn the car!!! After some issues, she relented and the after arket goop was jerked out!!!

Stephen,

You don't need to disconnect the security ecu to programme the fobs. This is the procedure:

Note: This procedure will erase all previously working transmitters. All transmitters must be programmed at the same time.

1. First of all see if you have a Valet Switch in your centre armrest. This is used in the procedure. If you don't have a valet switch, remove the centre armrest liner and find the wiring plug. It’s a small black connector with a yellow/white wire and a black wire. Stick a paper clip in each of the 2 active holes. Shorting the 2 wires is the equivalent of the Valet switch being in the OFF position. An open circuit equals ON.

2. Put Valet Switch ON, (or Short the wires)

3. Turn Ignition to Position II

4. Put Valet Switch OFF

5. Turn Ignition OFF

6. Quickly Turn Valet Switch ON & OFF 4 times in four seconds (or Short the wires). The Alarm system will then enter programming mode. This will be confirmed by "beeps" from the alarm and flashing exterior lights.

7. Program each transmitter (up to 5) by pressing the lock or unlock button on each transmitter once. The alarm will sound once when you press the transmitter button.

The alarm must sound 5 times to complete the programming. Therefore, if you are only programming one transmitter you should operate the transmitter 5 times. If you are programming two transmitters you will operate one transmitter twice, and three times on the other. For five transmitters you will operate each transmitter once.

8. After the fifth programming confirmation, test each transmitter for function.


I think I've remembered this correctly!

Good luck

Paul, that's not for the '92 MY.
For the '92 its nearly the same as above. Disconnect the battery (remember this will mean reprograming the radio) re connect battery .. at every beep press the remote as above, if more than 1 remote press a remote at every beep until all 5 beeps are done.


Carl, the early cars didn't have transponder keys, just the remote.

 

malc4d,

Tks for the info. I wasn't aware of that so apols to Stephen if I'm wrong. That's the procedure that we've always used for facelift cars from 91. So I presumed it would be the same for Stephen's 92 car? I also didn't think that any XJS had a transponder key. Pretty sure my 94 AJ16 car doesn't have them?

Stephen, as mentioned, apols if I'm wrong for your car. We had always documented that procedure for facelift cars. So tks to malc4d if it doesn't work on yours.

Cheers

Paul

 

Paul. I believe Jag changed the alarm on the '93 model to what you describe. I fitted mine ('92 MY) myself as car was prewired and it came as a Jag plugin Kit and l still have the instruction booklet.

Thank you all for the help and advise re replacing the wireless remotes. Here's where I am today.

I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone so I disconnected the battery and installed the Battery Tender wire. I then reconnected the battery but, to my surprise, there were no beeps. Without the beeps I could not move forward with the installation of the remotes.

Any suggestions as to what I do next would be welcome.

Stephen

 

Stephen,

You could try the procedure I detailed. Can't hurt.

Paul

 

Just a though, but are you sure it has the alarm fitted ??
If you look behind the rear right light you should see it.

Thank you Malc4D for the very helpful picture. You are right. The alarm has been removed from my car. Darn it. Anybody needs two unopened wireless fobs for a 92 XJS? Part number DBC 100842. They only cost me £173.48. Which is about $270.00.

Looking on the bright side, I can now install a modern alarm.

 

It might be like mine was and not have been fitted from the factory. I bought the alarm as a Jaguar kit. But the car was only 2 years old then......
The big white plug is for the alarm.

Just check behind the headlight access panel in the front left fender for the alarm horn....

 

I bought two remote controls (DBC 100842) from Heritage Jaguar in England but I haven't opened them as, too late. I realized that my car (92 XJS convertible) wasn't fitted with an alarm. I was wondering if they would operate the remote door locks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I have a suggestion, but it's one you might not expect.

I've always owned at least one convertible since I could drive, and from that experience, I would suggest you NEVER lock the doors. In fact, if the weather isn't an issue, I would suggest you either leave the top down, or a window down when you leave it unattended.

Unless you carelessly leave something really valuable in the car, or spend too much on audio systems, whatever someone might take from your car is worth a fraction of replacing your top. If there is something worth taking in sight, your top will get sliced and the item taken anyway. If there is nothing in sight, but your car is locked, your top will get sliced to look for what's so valuable that you locked the car.

Use the locked trunk for anything valuable or tempting. Just get in the habit of never leaving anything out that someone might find tempting. After 30+ years, the only thing that was ever taken from one of my rag tops was a pair of sunglasses I once left on the console [EDIT - After thinking about it, it's closer to 40 years...ouch].

Leave it wide open, it gets a certain deference and respect as a nice car, whereas if you button everything up and lock it and alarm it, there MUST be something worth taking.
