I tried doing the sequence of buttons that need to be pressed to program these buttons. First I turned the car off. Then I pressed buttons one and four until they blinked to clear the old codes. Then I pointed the new hand held remote slightly in front of the map light and pressed the hand held button and button number 1 down at the same time. The garage light blinked slowly, but never blinked quickly, so it didn't work. I just installed a new Genie Garage door opener and I would like to use the Jaguar button instead of the remote provided with the garage door opener if possible. I did the sequence of steps pressing the "Learn" button on the garage door opener, and not pressing the learn button. It didn't make a difference.
Thanks for your help.

You might try calling Home Link. I did when my 2000 S-type wouldn't accept the code and home link helped withg etting it to work.

Patrick,
The garage door buttons on your X-300 will not learn the rolling codes of the newer garage door openers. I have the same issue and the easiest solution was to buy an extra remote to keep in the car.

James,
Your 2000 S-type has a different garage opener than the older X-300 models. Yours is capable of learning the rolling codes whereas the older ones are not. My 2000 VDP can, but my 1995 cannot.
