Also you must press a remote after every beep to set it up to work. Even if you only have 1 you must press the same one 5 times.
I have the instruction manual and installation booklet for that alarm system.
Where did you get the fob from. I can only find the 433 MHZ ones not the 418 for the "92 MY. How much ?

Would you mind sharing the booklet? Link below to their site...

All in with VAT was about £111. I understand, however, that they ordered in from Jaguar, so assume they may still be available from Heritage. I may try Jaguar themselves when I have time as I need another as backup anyway!

Alarm fob
Again from memory - to program a new remote, under the "tray" in the centre console should be a wiring connector with possibly yellow & black wires. The ignition needs to be in position 2 & the 2 wires need to be "shorted together" several times within a few seconds. The alarm will then start bleeping to indicate that it's in "learn mode" - you then press one of your "new" transmitter buttons & the car's alarm will bleep to indicate that the transmitter has been accepted. You can program up to 5 transmitters. If you only have one, you press the button on that transmitter 5 times. If you have 2 transmitters you press the button on 1 of them 3 times & push the button twice on the other 1 etc.
The transmitter should then lock & unlock your car, arm & disarm the alarm. It should also turn your headlights on for a defined period to in theory "light your way to your door from your car".

I'm quite confident that you have been sold the wrong fob/remote/transmitter. The one in your picture is for earlier cars than yours. I've attached a picture of the item I believe you need. There are various (3 to my knowledge) revisions of this remote & some simply won't work - you need to check the circuit board in the remote & from memory you need the earlier (lower letter) revisions.
Has anyone tried the remote cloners? Example of one here on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3306934725...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

If your original is 7990 then you have the right part. The freq. and that messing around with cables changed in the '93 MY. Mines a '91 '92 MY and has the same remote.
Disconnect the neg bat lead reconnect and after every beep press a remote, total 5 times.
Don't forget that you WILL need the radio code !!

If you got the vehicle care handbook when you bought your car that should show you the style of remote fob you need - the cases were pretty fragile & it's possible a previous owner swapped the correct working circuit board into the wrong case.
Model Year is largely irrelevant here in the UK - we're more into year of registration but if your car is a mid to late 1992 registered car it would be classed in the USA as a 93MY car. Are the last 6 digits of your VIN higher than 179737? If so I'm confident that the part you need is this:

That one works on 318 MHZ. as far as l know we used 418 and later 433 here in the UK. So it will be one or t'other.
My car (1800** 1991 early facelift) has the UK alarm system which l bought new from Jag. and fitted as a plug and play kit, and uses dac 7990 as shown in the OP photos. I have sent him the Jaguar installation and user leaflet that came with the kit.
He will find out if the Feq. is correct as soon as he reconnects the Neg. bat. lead and the remote will be recognized (answer beep) or not (no answer beep)
Simples....Hopefully one of us is correct and it solves the problem...

My car's VIN ends 188666 & it has the attached remote (in fact it has 5 of them - bought from evilbay as experiments in the days when they could be bought for only a few pounds each. This is how I know about the REV A, REV B & REV F etc on the circuit boards & that some just cannot be programmed to work - even if they look correct).
