I only have 1 Remote/Key, can I program a second?
When I bought my 2002 X Type I was only given 1 switchblade style remote/key. I just bought a new switchblade remote/key, but I was given two conflicting stories on whether I can program the second one myself. I wasn't going to try to program it until I received some confirmation one way or another. The Jaguar dealer said that he will cut the key for free, but I would have to pay $130 - $180 for programming.
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!

I bet the programming only takes 5 mins. Some turn the key in the ignition sequence. I wish I knew.

I have a 02 x type as well and only received one key. I called Jaguar locally (Monty Shelton in Portland Oregon) and was told by the parts department that it would cost me a total of about $420 to buy the second key with fob and have it cut and programmed. I went on Craigslist and found someone who will sell me the key, key fob and cut/program it for $180 total.... much cheaper than the dealer. I don't think I am answering your question very well I just thought I would give you what I have found out.
Good luck!

I've only done one remote at a time but according to the instructions I have you can program up to 4 remotes at one time. My 02 X-type also only came with one key but I have changed the remote about three times and have programmed it into the car with no problems using these instructions. The instructions came from a seller off eBay whom I've bought all my remotes from. Hope it helps. (see attachment)
Also the instructions state that it's for a 2002 X-Type. I'm not sure if all models use the same sequence, so keep that in mind if you decide to use it.

Who ever wanted $420 from you should be shot, then hanged.
These kind of people gives the Original dealers a bad name.

I'm glad it worked. I see you mentioned it worked on your '03. That was the only thing I was worried about when I shared the instructions. If it would work on other years besides an 02 which is what they were originally for. I guess that answers that question. Anyone care to try it on an 06-08 just to be sure? LOL

2002 X-Type Key FOB
1. Insert the key and turn to position I
2. Turn the key to position II and back to position I (quickly repeat four times) and you will hear a chime if it was done correctly.
3. Turn the key all the way back and take it out.
4. Now press any button on the key fobs to be added and you will hear another chime.
5. If you have a set of keys for step (4) you have to press any button on two or more fobs at the same time so they both have the same code or elses one will work and the other won't.

Programming the key fobs/remotes is a piece of cake with the instructions in this thread.
However, new keys are a different story. You need to have two original keys if I'm not mistaken.
The locksmith I used had a computer he hooked up that gave him some codes. Now all my keys are masters and not slaves.
Please keep this in mind.

Help please!!
Hi. have read the below instructions, very helpful, have not done this yet but would like to get a third key for my 2001 x type. This may sound stupid, but when the instructions say "1. insert the key" are they talking about the NEW unprogrammed key ? OR a key you already have that is programmed and works in order to access the programming system of the car???
