2001 Jaguar XK Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A veterinary dermatologist near the Main Street corridor in Ventura called me about her 2001 XK coupe. Another locksmith had cut a key and programmed what he said was the right chip. It started the car twice, then the immobilizer locked her out cold. Dashboard showed the amber key warning, engine cranked, no start. She thought the car's computer had failed.
It hadn't.
The previous guy had used a Texas Instruments ID40 chip, which is a Volkswagen/Audi transponder. Close in the parts drawer, completely wrong for this car. The X100 XK needs an ID13 glass chip matched to the Security and Locking Module. The SLM on these is strict. It either accepts the transponder cleanly or it rejects it, and once it rejects, there's no partial start or limp mode.
I pulled the SLM data with my diagnostic tool, confirmed the chip mismatch, and programmed a correctly coded ID13 transponder to her specific module. Cut a fresh Tibbe blade on site using the FO21 keyway. Three clean start cycles, lock and unlock from the door, ignition off and back on after a full drive-cycle wait.
The whole thing took about 40 minutes parked on her street. She watched every step from a camp chair with a cat on her lap, which tracked.
The difference between a key that works once and a key that works permanently is chip accuracy. There is no close enough on these.
