Tibbe Keys

Certain Jaguars of the 1990s used what's called the Tibbe Key. They require special equipment because they have flat cuts that have precise angles on four sides. They are not interchangeable with standard keys, and many locksmiths do not have the equipment needed to cut them. This can result in long wait times for people needing replacement keys. Dealerships may also be able to cut these, but they typically charge a substantial amount.

The lock is interesting. It's comprised of six or eight discs that rotate and must be aligned in order for the sidebars to slide into place to open the door lock or trunk. This is done by using an specialized pick/decoder which appears like it's a drill. This process can be difficult. It is important to remember that this tool must ONLY be inserted into the DOOR lock, NEVER the trunk or ignition locks in this manner. Doing so could cause it to be bindered and break.

There are a small number of locksmiths who specialize in Tibbe key production, and their prices differ based on a variety of factors, including time, effort, cost of consumables and equipment, and so on. The adapter kit that is specialized to work with these kinds of keys can cost several hundred dollars, and every one must be set up manually (or a skilled programer can use a computerized key machine) for every new key that is created.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

It is essential to keep a spare battery on hand. The easiest way to determine that it's time to replace is when the key fob no more responds consistently to the buttons. Your Message Center may also alert you that your battery level is low.

It's simple to change the battery on your Jaguar keyfob in your garage. It only takes a few minutes. The first step is to open the fob's key with a flat-head screwdriver or fingernail. There are usually 2 seams where the fob's two halves meet, and you can be careful to break them apart to expose the blade of emergency key.

Once the fob is opened it is possible to move the key blade backwards to remove the cover to reveal the old battery. The battery will appear like a coin with the sign of a plus and minus on one side. Make sure you insert a new battery of the same type and ensure that it is oriented correctly.

Remember to handle the new battery only from its sides. Touching it from the top or bottom could transfer moisture and reduce the life of the battery. Reassemble the fob, and test the buttons on the remote to determine whether they function again. If not, contact your local Jaguar Annapolis service pros for assistance.
