Key Transmitter
Hey guys...im new to the Jag scene so im trying to get familiar with my 02 X Type. 
I bought the car off a good buddy. He only had one Key transmitter....the buttons dont work so im wondering if the battery is dead...how do you open it to check? 2nd.....I found a new Key transmitter with a uncut key on sale on....it mentions the FCCID, CAN and part number....how do I know if its compatible with my Jag?

RE: Key Transmitter
Congrats and welcome
Never had to replace the battery in mine yet, but it does look tough.....can't help you there...as for programming your FOB, it should work when you follow the procedure for activating the FOBs (providing the battery is good in that one as well)

RE: Key Transmitter
Thanks man....Does the user manual show how to program it? If so...ill need to purchase that manual since its not in the car. [>:] I guess the transmitters use different frequency channels so you have to check first to see if it works with your car.

RE: Key Transmitter
all that is in the manual I suppose one of us could type it out for you but that seems silly.. go give your good buddy a few slaps and see if he can tell you why the owners manual is not with the car.... It does almost no good to anyone when it is out of the car.

cycle the ignition key three times, leaving it in the run position (car not running) press door lock button on transmitter 1, than on transmitter two.
That should do it.

What is the purpose of the FCC ID? Seems that depending on the ID or the remote...it might or might not work on your vehicle right?

RE: Id still tell my buddy why to keep manuals
I've experienced a similar problem (key transmitter not working) with my 2004.5MY X type (yes there was a mid year facelift and interior trim change). I am informed that in October 2006 a service fix was released. Apparently the key transmitters suffer from static build up which affects the circuit board - so it won't work even with a new battery. The fix is to put a sliver of special (presumably conductive) material into the transmitter, which prevents this. My local dealer is doing that as I write under warranty. So I recommend that you go to your dealer and get it fixed for free.

The service action number is S527. It is not a recall, just a service action. It may be worth chatting up your local dealer; after all if the key transmitter suddenly malfunctions and enables the engine security (anti theft) devices, you may be stranded with a car that doesn't start. I'm no expert on such things (my instinct is that the malfunction "fail safe" would be that the engine would still run), but it doesn't hurt to ask anyway.

From technical bulletins on jaguartechinfo.com ( I paid for a month of access)
OPEN driver door ( leave open )
Key to position one ( accessory position)
cycle key to position two ( ignition position ) and back to position one 4 times. the system will chime to say it is in program mode. leave key in position one
press any button on the key, the system will chime again.
turn key off.
Close the door
now the remote should work.
let us know if anyone gets any dead remotes to work again.

RE: Id still tell my buddy why to keep manuals
I read on the UK forum site that some key transmitter faults are actually caused by the flap on the lock barrel not closing after removing the key. The fix is to squirt a bit of WD40 in and use the key to "work" the flap.
For further info go to jaguarforum.co.uk and under the X type section look at the forum titled "central locking system problem about 14 entries down (as of writing at 7.15 pm eastern time on Friday).
