Question 1

I lost all my Jaguar keys. Can you still make a new one?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All-keys-lost is the most complex and expensive key job on any Jaguar, but we handle it on site. The JLR system erases all stored key IDs and learns new ones from scratch during an AKL procedure. On some late-model Jaguars, the KVM may be locked, but a Jaguar-capable locksmith with the right tools can often work through it without replacing the module. A 2017 F-Type owner was told by the dealer that KVM replacement was required at $1,200 on top of the key. A locksmith programmed a working key for $650 with no module replacement needed.

Question 2

Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?

Accepted Answer

No. That is the dealer route, not the only route. Jaguar dealers require the car to be towed in for AKL, and quotes can be staggering. An XE owner was quoted $1,914 to $2,600 for two new keys and module replacement, before towing and unlock fees. A different XE owner noted you can get an Autel scan tool for about $500 and key fobs for about $30 each if you want the DIY route. Or you call us. We bring JLR-capable tools to your location and handle the security access and programming right at your vehicle.

Question 3

How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take?

Accepted Answer

A 2017 F-Type owner reports a locksmith had him back on the road in under an hour for an all-keys-lost job. A JLR specialist service advertises AKL completion in a few hours on the same day. Compare that to the dealer where the total process is one to three days, with one to two hours of actual programming once you finally get into the service bay. We handle Jaguar AKL same-day in a single visit, typically within a few hours of your call.

Question 4

What battery does the 2000 Jaguar XK key fob use?

Accepted Answer

The 2000 Jaguar XK uses a CR2032 battery. You can pick one up at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so you are starting with a full charge. Pro tip: once you have your new key, pick up a spare battery and keep it in your wallet or glove box. A dead fob battery on a Jaguar can trigger smart key not recognised warnings and prevent push-to-start from working.

Question 5

Can you make a spare at the same time so I have two keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. When the JLR system runs the replace lost keys procedure, all existing key IDs are erased and only the keys physically present during that session get registered. The system asks you to enter the number of new keys you intend to program and then cycles through each one. That means adding a second key during the same visit costs far less than a separate visit later, since a new session would erase the first key and start over. On Jaguars, losing all keys can cost $2,000 or more at the dealer. Get two keys made now and avoid that nightmare.
