Wow, exactly what I'm looking for. The original remote control of my X308 from 1998 is defective and cannot be revived. It's a LJA2610BA
Unfortunately, the eBay links for ordering no longer work. Do any of you have an address for me? That would be great

The second one is a repair service in the UK... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...y+fob&_sacat=0

....https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...r+x308+key+fob

....use the part # off your fob, it will help dial in your search. The part # is important since its set to a frequency.

Hello, I'm reviving an old thread here to ask if anyone has recent success using an aftermarket fob to replace their non-working Jaguar fob in the US? The ebay links in the thread no longer take you to an active listing or help identify the vendor. This is for a 2002 XJ8/Super V8 in the USA market. The back of mine reads LJE2610AB - CWTWB1U322 - CAN 1788 102 354.

A search for CWTWB1U222 or LJE2610AB on ebay or google pulls up some cheap options like the link below but when you look at each listing for compatibility it actually says it's not compatible with Jaguar. Or the search brings up used Jaguar fobs which may be an option I'll explore. Or does anyone know of a company offering fob repair in the US? My car came with 2 fobs and 4 tibbe keys. One fob works some of the functions and the 2nd one doesn't work at all even with fresh batteries. Thanks for any input. Cheers.

Yes indeed, a 2032 works far better than doubled 2016s. and seems to cause no ill effects.

You can find the original style fob for as little as $25.

Thanks for the responses. I'm using a single 2032 battery.

@xalty, thanks, I'll try one of those Ford 4 button remotes for my 2002. Do you know if I would need to program my existing remote (the one that works for some functions) at the same time I'm programming the Ford 4 button one?

The same remotes will work for the 4.0 X100 coupe/conv Jaguars.

Same FOBs for the MY as the X308.

The XJR I bought recently had this same aftermarket key FOB and it works just fine; better than the original one. It has a 2032 battery inside

Aftermarket FOB.

The CA is an update of the AA, you see this a lot on automotive parts. It could be anything from different plastic to better cold solder points.
If you want to reference fitment, use this... https://jaguar.oempartsonline.com/oe...tter-lja2610ca

May I suggest you also put your location, MY and other info in your signature so we know what you have to reference. We get folks who post in the wrong forums also and want to be sure to direct them and provide info appropriately.

After some sleuthing, here is the likely SLM cutover VIN. The later SLM goes for about $150 USD on eBay. The earlier ones are about half that.
So if you have an earlier SLM, you could spend $150 on an SLM so you can use a pair of $8 Fobs.

EARLY KEY FOB FCC ID K8597T315
SLM LNC2600HE 812317-F20644
SLM LNC2600HF 812317-F20644

CHEAP FORD KEY FOBS CWTWB1U311 / 22
SLM LNG2600HB F20645-F59525
