Tibbe Keys

Certain Jaguars from the 1990s used a key type known as the Tibbe key. They require special equipment to make because they have flat cuts with precise angles on each of four different sides. They are not interchangeable with standard keys, and many locksmiths don't have the equipment required to cut them. This can result in extended waiting times for owners who require replacements. Dealerships can also cut these but charge a considerable amount.

The lock itself is fairly interesting, as it consists of 6 or 8 rotating discs that need to be aligned correctly for the sidebar to fall into place and open the door or trunk lock. This is done using a specific tool that looks kind of like a drill, and the process can be challenging. This tool should only be used on the DOOR lock, and not on the trunk or ignition lock.

There are a small number of locksmiths who specialize in Tibbe key production, and their costs differ based on a range of factors, such as time, effort, cost of consumables and equipment, and so on. The specialized adapter kit required to work on these types of keys can cost a few hundred dollars, and they must be crafted by hand (or a skilled programer can create it using a computerized key machine) for each new key made.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

It's crucial to have an extra battery in your inventory. The easiest way to determine that it's time to replace is when the key fob no longer activates or responds consistently to the push button. You may also notice your Message Center alerting you that your battery is low.

It's simple to replace the battery in your Jaguar keyfob at your garage. It takes only some minutes. The first step is opening the fob's lid open using either a flat-headed screwdriver or your fingernail. There are usually jaguar key case where the fob's halves meet, and you can carefully pull them apart to expose the blade of emergency key.

When the fob is fully open and you are able to move the blade of the key backwards to remove the cover to reveal the old battery. The battery will look like the shape of a coin, with the plus and minus signs on one side. Be careful when inserting a brand new battery of the same type and make sure that it's properly oriented.





Make sure you handle the new battery only from its sides; touching it from the bottom or top could transfer moisture and reduce the battery's life. Reassemble the fob, and test the buttons on the remote to check if they work again. If not, contact your local Jaguar Annapolis service pros for assistance.
