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.

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.

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.
