Keyless Entry

The convenience and security of keyless entry systems is becoming popular among car owners. Some models lock or unlock the door when you make contact with it, which is much easier than searching for keys in your pockets. In addition, these systems tend to be more secure than standard car locks since they use rolling codes that alter each time you use the key fob. This makes it much more difficult for thieves to steal the signal or spoof the signal.

Key fobs emit a radio frequency with a unique digital identification code that only the vehicle can recognize. When you press one of the buttons on the Jaguar key fob, it transmits the code to the car's computer, which responds by opening the doors as well as starting the engine. The key fob can also send a signal to the trunk receiver that can be used to open the tailgate without having to open it.

Unfortunately, thieves have found ways to evade these systems. They've been able to make use of software that can decode the signals sent by key fobs, and even remotely reprogram keys using the transponder codes of the car. Many experts suggest installing a shielded case on your keyfob. These cases limit the distance that frequencies that the fob emits travel, and they are available at most auto parts stores for under $10.

Remote Start

Your Jaguar XE keyfob can be used to remotely lock or unlock your vehicle. To activate the feature just press and hold down the lock button while holding the key fob within the range of your vehicle. The start button should be pressed once the door handles are unlocked. If the key fob isn't within range, the car will display the "SMART KEY BATTERY LOW" message.

Anti-Theft System

The anti-theft system is designed to stop criminals from absconding with Jaguars. It makes use of a technology known as Ultra Wideband to detect and verify the signal from the key fob. The Keylab is to prevent relay attacks, which can take advantage of the signal to unlock or start the car when the key isn't in the ignition. The system also comes with Guardian Mode, which reports when the vehicle is locked or started abruptly. Jaguar suggests that you turn on this feature as part of the handover process.

The Jaguar XF also features an immobilizer, which ensures that the key is used to start the engine. The immobilizer disables the ignition coil, and injectors if the key isn't in use. This prevents the vehicle from being able to start.

Modern Jaguars, unlike older vehicles have advanced security systems which require specialized equipment and tools to maintain. Diagnostic tools such as a scanner can be used to analyze the diagnostic trouble codes of anti-theft modules and verify real-time information and freeze frame. The technician also needs to physically test analog voltages throughout the system. This can be done by connecting a multimeter to the anti theft control module or using factory software. This is the most common way to diagnose an anti-theft system. If the technician finds any issue, they could need to replace the device.

Bluetooth

Both devices need to be on, and close enough to each other to allow communication to occur. You may need to access the settings of the device, based on its type: an iOS or Android phone will include a Bluetooth menu while a desktop computer will typically have one in the Control Panel or System Preferences.

The initial Bluetooth connection must be established with the two devices exchanging their unique addresses, that are numbers in hexadecimal format. Bluetooth is, unlike other RF technologies is secure. It employs encryption and authentication to ensure data transmissions.
