Default Keyless locking

I've recently purchased a Jaguar XK Base 2014 and whilst I'm thrilled with it, one little thing it doesn't have is keyless locking, which i found a really useful facility on my XF Premium, which i've kept as i love it! Question is, can this be fitted retrospectively and if so how realistic would it be to achieve.
Thanks.

Really? Are you sure? I thought they all had it.

Does the keyless unlocking work? Try using the spare fob - if that works the likely culprit is a dead battery on the primary fob.

Push the little button on the door handle.
OR, get into settings and enable Auto Lock.

It was a £440 option on the UK base XK in 2014.

If it doesnt have it fitted I don't believe it can be retrofitted.

Best to confirm with main dealer though.

Thanks Cee Jay. The passenger door has a little button with a key embossed on it, (which doesn't actually seem to do anything), but the drivers door doesn't.

Maybe it was never fitted then.

Peter, if your car has the keyless entry installed, then it will have a small black button on each of the door handles. the cover on the end with a key embossed covers the emergency keyway. If your fob won't open the car, pull the cover off and use the metal key to unlock the door.

Different markets have different standard and optional equipment. I believe, but am not positive, that keyless entry was standard equipment on all North American market X150 models. Obviously, that wasn't the case in Europe. Just like the UK Pedestrian Protection System was never available in North America.

If a Post has been helpful and you want to say "Thanks!", press in the bottom right corner of that post.

That's why it's there.
