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

A hiker near Centennial Plaza in Oxnard lost his only smart key somewhere on a reservoir trail. He retraced the whole loop, checked with every person he passed, and came back to the lot empty-handed. His 2011 XK was sitting there and he had no way in.

He called me mid-afternoon. I told him I could be out there within the hour.

First thing I did was pick the driver door with my HU92 Lishi. The X150-generation XK uses the standard Jaguar HU92 profile, so entry was clean and quick. Once inside, I connected through the OBD port to talk to the immobilizer. On this model year, the security lives in the Key Vault Module, but the 2011 XK still allows OBD-based all-keys-lost programming without pulling the KVM to the bench. That is a big deal, because on later JLR models, like 2015-plus, AKL means physically removing the KVM from under the steering column and reading it on a bench rig.

I wrote the new KR55WK49244 fob, confirmed all five buttons, tested passive entry on both door handles and the trunk, and let him start it himself. The whole job happened in a trailhead parking lot that no flatbed was getting into easily.

He stood there watching the dash come alive like he half expected it to fight back. It did not. He drove out of there the same afternoon, for a fraction of what the dealer plus a tow would have run him.
