Ah right, didn't know that as I don't have a valet key. Didn't someone mention (post #4?) that there's a fuse you can pull, wait a while, then replace to get rid of valet mode? (Always said electrics is my weak point)

Best bet is the fishing method through the license plate holes.
I was relatively successful on 2 x300's of a friend.

Both had pre-drilled holes, covered and painted, but easily to punch through.
I used the lower one , closest to the key hole.

Look the internet how the mechanism goes, then use some strong electricity wire, bent it in the right shape, an try, and try, and try .... you will be successful by the time you want to give up ....
If your car does not have the holes, drill a small one, and cover it up with a plug.

 

Does anyone know how to reprogram key fobs for a 2013 Jaguar XF. My car battery was replaced and now my keys won’t lock or unlock my doors.







QUOTE=XJ-Man;104064]This worked for me.
1.Note that all remote transmitters that belong to the vehicle to be serviced must be available; all previous transmitter codes will be overwritten.
2.Hold high beam flasher back.
3.Insert the key in the ignition and turn it to “on” or to the first position.
4.Flash high beams 4 times.
5.Vehicle security locking control module will enter the learn mode. This will be confirmed by beeps from the alarm and flashing light on the shifter.
6.You can program up to 5 transmitters by pressing the lock OR unlock button once on each transmitter to be programmed. The alarm will sound once after the transmitter button is pushed.
7.The alarm must sound 5 times to complete the learning process. If you are only programming 1 transmitter you must program that first remote 5 times. If programming 2 transmitters program the first one 2 times and the second 3 times if you are programming 5 transmitters, program each transmitter one time.[/QUOTE]
