Key Fob Not Detected
When your dashboard displays “Key Fob Not Detected,” the issue typically stems from a dead CR2032 battery, loss of programming synchronization, or internal circuit board damage. Our technicians diagnose the root cause on-site and provide immediate solutions, whether that’s battery replacement, reprogramming, or complete fob replacement.
Damaged or Worn Key Blades
The emergency metal blade inside your XK key fob can wear down over years of use, making it difficult to access your vehicle during battery failures. We cut precision replacement blades that fit perfectly into your existing fob housing, restoring full emergency access functionality.
Non-Responsive Buttons
Lock, unlock, boot, and panic buttons can fail due to worn contact pads or moisture damage. We offer comprehensive key fob repair services, replacing internal components while preserving your original programming where possible.

Emergency Access: What to Do When Your Battery Dies
