How to Replace The Battery in a Jaguar Flip Key
Jaguar flip key batteries can be tricky to replace, below is a detailed diagram with instructions for replacement. The text is also quoted below.
“Key transmitter battery renewal
When the battery needs renewal there will be a significant decrease in the effective range of the key transmitter. To renew the battery, follow the procedure below.
- Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, separate and pull the transmitter (A) from the key body.
- Insert the screwdriver into the groove between the covers (B) and, by twisting the screwdriver, prise the covers apart.
- Unscrew and remove the small screw (C) and remove the printed circuit board, taking care not to touch the battery terminals. Remove the battery and dispose of it safely.
- Fit a new cell, type CR2032 (available from your Jaguar Dealer), with the side marked with the positive symbol (+) downwards in the battery receptacle. Avoid touching the new battery as moisture/oil from the fingers can reduce the life of the battery and corrode the contacts.
- Replace the printed circuit board making sure to engage the board under the securing tabs (D), and secure with the screw.
- Refit the cover and click into place with thumb pressure.
- Slide the transmitter back onto the key body.“

OMG! I just bought my Jag yesterday and this was the first thing I needed to do. Although in really great condition, my car did NOT come with an owners manual and I didnt want to wait until I purchased one to replace the battery on each of the remotes. I fumbled around and finally found your comment for this issue. Thank you for making this a minor thing i can resolve myself as opposed to a major one b/c there is not a Jag dealership in my city as of yet! Now I just hope it works when I replace the batteries tomorrow!
Thanks again
