Jaguar X Type key fobs have a small battery that can be replaced with the standard CR2032 coin. They can be found in many home improvement stores and pharmacies. To begin, slide the chrome cover off the fob to reveal the metal key. Use the emergency key to separate the body from the fob. Insert a new CR2032. Avoid touching the bottom or top of the battery because this could decrease battery life or cause corrosion to contacts.
After the key has been replaced the fob needs to be programmed. You can do this by using the OBD port in your vehicle. Remember that all keys must be reprogrammed, and that keys previously programmed won't work with your vehicle. Connect the new keys to the OBD port and follow the directions on the screen.
