Thank you for video. I have had the 2 replacement fobs for 2 years. My original ones finally gave up the ghost they were totally unusable. So today after watching this video I swopped both over. If I can do it anyone can. Thanks.

Also, you can get it for 35k euros at the moment, so......... I'll be lucky to get one for a very cheap price!!

The replacement key is the same as the XF. I think the circuit board itself on the XJ key is a slightly different shape, which is why it didn't fit. I used the aftermarket key like yours for my XF and it was/ is a perfect fit. Either way, its a good mod - great stuff

I actually just trimmed the circuit board until it fit. The part that needs to be trimmed doesn't have any runs on it. I just used an exacto knife, but could have used my dremel instead.

@XJLuxury 3 жыл бұрын

You could do it that way, however, I prefer cutting the plastic key instead.

@sgtm7 3 жыл бұрын

@@XJLuxury I did it way before this video came out, and was going by guys on the Jaguar forum who had done it, and had posted their method and results. If I had to do it again, I probably would have just used my dremel to cut the plastic casing. Was just pointing out that unless someone is clumsy, they aren't likely to actually mess up the circuit board.

I was fortunate enough to find a 2013, British Racing Green XJL 5.0. Portfolio. One owner, no accidents, all service records, with only 21500 miles. I’ve had a lot of newer luxury and sports cars, and this Leaper is my favorite ever. Like my favorite jeans. I just FIT it. You must consider that, being a partially bespoke exotic, you will have issues. And it won’t be cheap. But my car, Boss, literally leaps when you floor it. Leave all the white Mercedes alone. Be original. Go for it - just keep looking for a good one like I did. I took months to find exactly what i wanted, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

@XJLuxury 3 жыл бұрын

Yes that is possible at the dealer it may cost a lot of money so what you need to do is try and contact a independent locksmith or go to a mechanic shop and see if they have a dealer level scan tool that can program the key for you
