Jaguar Smart Key is a system that allows you to lock and unlock your car via a smart key fob. It also comes with numerous additional features that will make your daily commutes more efficient and convenient. 
 
Jaguar offers two different types of Smart Key systems: standard and Display Key. Standard Smart Keys provide the same functions as a traditional key such as locking in, unlocking and remote starting. However, a Display Key includes a tiny LCD touchscreen with a color display that shows various information about the vehicle including status updates for the engine, navigation and more. It's also an easy and quick way to control basic functions within your vehicle, such as turning on the headlights, or activating panic alarm.

How do I program my Jaguar Smart Key? 
 
If your Jaguar X Type key fob is losing battery, it may be time to replace the battery. This is a problem that is common for those who use key fobs frequently or who engage in outdoor sports. It's not as difficult as you think. It's also a good idea to do this if you plan on adding an additional fob to your vehicle. 
 
Jaguar X Type keyfobs come with a small battery which is easily accessible. You can replace it with a regular CR2032 cell. They can be found in the majority of pharmacies and home improvement stores. To begin, pull the chrome cover off the fob to reveal the iron key. Use the emergency key to disengage the body from fob. Insert a new CR2032. Do not touch the top or bottom of the battery, as this could cause battery damage or corrode contacts. 
 
The fob needs to be programmed after the key has been replaced. This can be done using the OBD port in your vehicle. Remember that all keys must be reprogrammed in order to work and that previously programmed keys won't work with your vehicle. Connect the newly programmed keys to the OBD port and follow the instructions on the screen. 
 
How do I replace the battery in my Jaguar Smart Key? 
 
If you've noticed recently that the key fob's effectiveness range has decreased, it's a good indication that the battery must be replaced. The message center might display SMART KEY low battery to notify you that a new battery is needed. 
 
You can change the Jaguar key fob battery by sliding the chrome cover back to release the emergency key blade and then prying open the fob's body. Slide the key in the metal and use it as a lever to remove the key case. Remove the old CR2032 batteries and replace it with the positive side facing upwards. Put the battery back in place and replace the chrome cover. 
 
After the new battery has been installed, you can test the key fob and make sure everything is working exactly as it should. If the battery that you have replaced displays a low-battery error it could be because of the transfer of oil or moisture from your fingers. Try using a cloth without lint to avoid this problem.
