#1 of 4 Programming Key Remote by freeoppressed Mar 23, 2007 (1:36 pm)
I have a 2002 Jaguar XJ Sport (XJ8). It did not come with a key remote. I purchased the proper remote and now I need to program it. Anybody know how that is accomplished short of going to the dealer (that is 80 miles away)? Replies to this message: sjamker (Dec 01, 2007 11:40 pm) sylad8 (Apr 17, 2008 8:37 pm)

Replying to: freeoppressed (Mar 23, 2007 1:36 pm) you need to open your trunk, turn ignition only to 2nd notch (do not start) toggle your valet switch 4-5 times till you hear a chirp (this indicates the vehicle is now in learn mode) Hold your remote button till lights flash and car will chirp once more to let you know remote has been set.

Replying to: sjamker (Dec 01, 2007 11:40 pm) I have the exact same problem with a 1999 XK8, getting it to go into learn mode so I can program it to recognize a replacement remote that I just bought. It came with instructions, but I suspect they are not right ... does anybody know how to get it into learn mode? Help please and many thanks in advance!
