Default Battery Problems....and key fob is stuck!!!

Ok guys....I've read several posts on this subject, but nothing has helped. I have a 2010 XKR, battery made in May '18. Never had any problems. I suspect my son left a door ajar and two days later, car is dead. I tried jumping it off, both on direct battery posts and the jump posts in the trunk. Nothing. So now I'm charging on a 10a charger. But in the meantime, a msg came up to remove key fob from the docking station, but it won't budge. I tried forcing it some, and the removeable blade came out. So......will the docking station eject the fob one the battery is charged? I live about 100 miles away from Jag dealer, so I don't want to have it towed $$$. Please advise.

And thank you.

Did you press down on the fob, or just try to pull it out?
You need to push it in and release it, to get it to eject.

Yes charging your battery will allow the Smart Key to be released, followed kj07xk's question/suggestion above.

Well, I got it charged but still would not eject when pushed. Jag service thinks it was stuck or misaligned. So I got out the pliers.....and got it out. The key fob is FUBAR, so wonder if I could order a cheap replacement Jag fob off Amazon and transfer the circuit board to the new fob???

Cheap enough at $16.95 delivered for Prime members to give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can return it for a full refund. Includes everything you need and fast delivery.

Yes I just ordered one. I hope it fits and will eject as normal. I hope I didn't screw up the starter control module (smart key dock). Those are $400 or so.

I had my Fob stuck once, at least I THOUGHT I did. It wouldn't come out no matter what..... until I made sure the car was turned off and I opened the door. A slight push and it popped right up!
