2011 Jaguar XK Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was out near the Viejas Area on a Friday evening when a call came in from Alpine. A woman's purse had been snatched while she and her daughter were out. Keys, everything, gone. Her daughter had called the police, then her father, then me.

The 2011 Jaguar XK was sitting in the garage with no working keys. The husband had already called the Jaguar dealer and gotten a quote that involved towing the car, a multi-day wait, and a reset of the key vehicle module because the stolen fob was still out there and could theoretically start the car. The dealer's number was well into the hundreds, not counting the tow.

I got there that evening with my diagnostic equipment. All-keys-lost on this generation XK means the old key data gets cleared out of the module first, so the stolen fob becomes useless to that car permanently. Then I generate and program fresh keys from scratch. I decoded the door lock for the emergency blade, cut both inserts, and had two fully working 5-button smart fobs programmed before the police report was wrapped up.

She drove home that night. The stolen fob is dead to that car now. The dealer comparison came up on its own when the husband mentioned the quote. I didn't argue with it. The work was done, both keys were in her hands, and nobody had to wait a week or arrange a tow.
