Tibbe Keys

Certain Jaguars in the 1990s had keys that were called a Tibbe key. They require special equipment to create because they feature flat cuts at precise angles on each of four different sides. They are not interchangeable with normal keys, and a lot of locksmiths don't have the specialized equipment needed to cut them. This could lead to lengthy wait times for those who require replacements. Dealerships might also be able to cut them however they usually cost a significant amount.

The lock itself is fascinating, as it is comprised of a number of rotary discs that need to be aligned correctly in order for the sidebars to fall into position and unlock the trunk or door lock. This is accomplished by using an specialized pick/decoder which appears like it's a drill. It can be difficult. It is crucial to remember that this tool should only be put into the DOOR lock, NEVER the trunk lock or ignition and will cause it to be bindered and break.

There are only a handful of locksmiths who specialize in Tibbe key production, and their costs differ based on a range of factors, such as time, effort, the cost of equipment and consumables etc. The adapter kit for specialized keys required to work on these types of keys may cost several hundred dollars, and each one has to be set up manually (or an experienced programmer could do it on an electronic key machine) for every new key that is made.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

Most battery packs for key fobs wear out over time, which is why it's essential to have a spare battery on hand. The easiest way to tell it's time for a replacement is when the key fob no longer is responding consistently to the buttons. Your Message Center may also alert you that your battery is low.

The good news is that changing the battery in your Jaguar key fob is simple and can be done in just a few moments in your garage. The first step is prying the fob using either a flat-head screwdriver. There are usually 2 seams where the fob's halves meet, and you should gently pull them apart to expose the blade of emergency key.

You can pull the blade of the key back after the fob is opened to reveal the old battery. The battery will resemble an old coin with the sign of a plus and minus on one side. Make sure you insert an additional battery of the same type and orient it properly.

Remind yourself to only touch the battery from the sides. Touching it from the top or bottom could cause moisture to transfer and reduce the battery's life. Reassemble the fob, and test the buttons on the remote to determine whether they are working again. If not, call jaguar keys for assistance.
