Hi
Has anybody experience with key fobs from ebay...some state it only takes 30 sec to programme a new key...with instructions. If it is that easy, why don't car thiefs just not buy a new key... for any car?

I think that programming requires that you have a valid key to start with. So you are just duplicating what you already have.

 

You need the key to reprogram.

$6 for 2 Ford Compatible Key fobs work, but only for the Later X100's.


What year is your car?

 

I bought a $38 remote FOB for my 2005 from EBAY. I already had a 2nd key but no remote. Took me 30 seconds to program but you need to unlock the car and get in to program it.

 

Got one on eBay @ $39.00. Programmed it(actually my friend did it while I sat in the car and watched). Works fine. Have to program all at the same time if you have more than one.

 

I saw in another thread you have a '98. The cheap E-bay remotes (or the nicer flip key style) will not work with your car.

You need a Jag specific one.
