Pre 2009 Vantage Key Upgrades

[anonymous-user]

Gents,

I have a 2008 Vantage with the new interior.

I can't find the old thread with the instructions on updating the key.

I need;
A new XK key "Shell" with buttons and "emergency" key for the attachment loop.

Sticker / Vinyl of my choice (Brushed Aluminium or Carbon )

AM Stickers

Also, is there anyway to update the key itself or combine the key and fob?

Is this what you were looking for ?

Perhaps with a parts list too ...

I can't find any real Jaguar keys, but there seem to be a lot of Chinese copies ... might give one a try and keep the AM one to swap it back.

I did the same thing, I bought a Chinese copy and swapped over the innards, it was a bit of a faff, but well worth it.

Also if anyone knows where I can get a 12V plug cover for the boot outlet that'd be great, it disappeared when I was faffin' in the pitch black / freezing cold a few weeks ago whilst trying to pop the car on trickle.

Ordering the stuff to do this now, one carbon and one brushed silver, will have a look what I can do with the key itself too!

I spent a stupid amount of money with AMBits for all the necessary parts and my shop is installing the glass key conversion on Monday.
