FOB' d Off
Helllo,
My 03 STR had a single key when I bought it. The remote did not work so I replaced the battery, still no remote. Between other manitinance issues it was off to the Jaguar Dealer for a second key and remote.
Cutting a second key was $175.00 !!! But what can you do with out a key?
The nice folks at the dealer said replacement remote was only $475.00, had to pass on that. Are the remotes on ebay a replacement and what about the reprograming.

No matter where you source the remotes, you have to have the dealer program them (OR someone with IDS software). You can have up to 5 keys total programmed and they all need to be programmed at the same time.
Take care,
George

George,
Better to connect with you than a Ebay unknown. How much for a Remote?

I have a couple replacement remotes I can sell you. You can use ebay ones as well.

George is legit.. he's mos def. a much affordable option than the Jag dealer would be, nice straight foward option too, as oppose to searching, bidding, hoping, etc. of eBay..
thanks for that Cup holder George.!
