Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a tiny battery that is easily accessible. You can replace it with a standard CR2032 cell. You can find these at most pharmacies and home improvement stores. Slide the chrome cover of the key fob to reveal the metal keys. Use the emergency key to remove the body from the fob. Insert a new CR2032. Be cautious not to touch the bottom or top of the battery, as this can reduce the battery's lifespan and cause corrosion of contacts.
After the key is replaced the fob will have to be programmed. This can be done by using the onboard diagnostics (OBD) port on your vehicle. Make sure that all keys have to be reprogrammed together and that previously programmed keys will not work with your vehicle. To program a new key fob, connect the reprogrammed one to the OBD port and follow the onscreen instructions.
