Check on this site for JLR Tech - he is on the West Coast however he was able to reprogramme my XF keys remotely when I was in Texas.Originally Posted by Jeremy noor

get a mongoose JLR cable from eBay. Download a version of SDD. It’s on the forums, just search. I know everyone is going to say get a battery maintainer, however I didn’t have the money to buy one when I had this issue. You will need to atleast connect to another car using jumper cables. I hate worked for me, was to go into SDD and replace Control Junction Box as new. I didn’t actually replace the part. I only ran the module. When this happened I was able to link my only key and a spare key that I bought off of eBay all at the same timeOriginally Posted by Jeremy noor

People are going to loose their mind over what I told you. Because technically you should use a battery maintainer, but like I said, I didn’t have the funds and it worked for me. 2013 jaguar XF AWD

Yes battery is at 12.6 volts exactly actually just came in from trying to mess with it and figure something out so the battery is good but I was looking at rear fuse box in the trunk and it seems like there are things missing or unplugged possibly I see some extra wires as well not plugged in I bought it at auction so maybe they had to replace all the electrical and didn't put it back right possibly and it never ran again so they let it get towed because it looks like a lot of the parts have been changed literally like everywhere I look you can tell it's been removed or replaced so that has to be my problem I am checking all of that compared to the factory stock diagrams
