Review on VOFONO Button Compatible Jaguar NHVWB1U241 by Eric Speers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great but will require cutting and programming by a dedicated locksmith

I bought this for my 2005 Jaguar S-Type and it works great. It comes pre-assembled with all electronics and battery. After the key is made and programmed by the locksmith using special equipment, it starts the car and the buttons work as expected. The locksmith charged me $125 for it. Most locksmiths don't have the specialized equipment needed to make the key and program the electronics, so you may have to travel to a fairly large city to find one. Phone call. Some have mentioned programming by switching to "training mode" which can be done by the owner without a locksmith. However, I think this only works for X-Type, NOT for S-Type. Not sure. FYI: I didn't know until recently that if you press and hold the unlock button for 2 seconds, all the windows and the sunroof will open at the same time. Hold until fully open. The button on the console that looks like a small door can be pressed for 2 seconds and all windows and the sunroof will start to close. Hold again until fully closed.

Pros
  • PRE-TESTED
Cons
  • Security
