How to replace the battery in the Jaguar XJ car remote.

Model: Jaguar Xj MK 9, X351 - Years 2009-2019
Part: Key

Today we will see how to change the battery in a smart key remote for the 2011 Jaguar XJ. The remote uses a replacement battery model CR 2032, which can also be purchased online. To perform the replacement, we need to slide the gray metal part of the remote outward to access the emergency key contained inside the remote. We remove the key and insert it into the side slot. After fully inserting the key, we leverage the pressure point to open the remote and replace the battery. We reassemble the two parts of the remote and insert the metal key back into it. We also attach the outer metal part and test the functionality of the remote.
