Trying to avoid a $300 fee at the dealer for my 2005 Jaguar X Type.

Will this work if the 2005 Jaguar X Type has an aftermarket alarm?

I can’t believe I found this. Been stuck with my 2005 Jaguar X Type too.

Key Tip: Consider key insurance for expensive smart keys
Key Fob Issues
1) Find the seam and pry open the fob (some have tiny screws) 2) Note battery orientation 3) Remove old battery (CR2032 is most common) 4) Insert new battery 5) Reassemble. Test all buttons - if issues remain, the fob may need reprogramming.
