How your immobiliser system works on Jaguar XE
Before describing the different choices available to you, here is a short introduction to demonstrate the intent and functions of the immobilizer in your Jaguar XE. This electronic element appeared 30 years ago and aspires to prevent the theft of your Jaguar XE. Indeed, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) integrated in the key, and, a immobilisation control box integrated in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Jaguar XE will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it checks that the code emitted by your key is in fact the one required by your immobilization box. It is only at this moment, that it will let you turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this device will work.

Enter the code to turn off the immobiliser
First process, your key no longer enables your Jaguar XE to start, you want to disable the immobiliser of your Jaguar XE, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a mechanic check that you can not perform a less important operation to restore the normal start of your automobile. Indeed, with your automobile you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Jaguar XE), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it contains the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your automobile by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to validate the digit and resume, replicate the operation until you have entered the entire code. This should allow your Jaguar XE to start without having to remove the immobiliser.

Manually remove your immobilizer
