As I was checking my list of ‘car prep to do’s’ I realized I never replaced my emergency key blade after losing it when I was locked out my first week of ownership. I meant to replace it and flaked once I changed my keyfob and car batteries.

Can anyone guide me on how and where can I get a replacement key blade and more importantly, what is the process for having it cut? Thank you

 

A jaguar dealer will source it for you. If you have the lock code registered with the dealer, you can order over the phone.

 

Hey Guy, thank you so much for responding, was in a bit of void! Coincidence here, I intended to post my progress and outcome this evening, so here it goes.

Having purchased the vehicle from an Infiniti dealership I didn’t have the lock code. From documentation I knew the Jaguar dealership where the car was originally sold, but was unaware of what you just posted. I chose a shotgun approach. I contacted a friend who has Jag dealership contacts and ordered an emergency key - it will take a week plus to arrive (I do not have it yet). In the interim, on Monday I contacted AAA requesting an auto locksmith because why not? He came, saw, took my registration and license info, contacted Jaguar and made me an emergency key all in the same day.

To follow, I disconnected and charged the battery to full capacity overnight, but when I started the car it was clear that the energy management system module did not reset, seeing the message “low battery, drive car.” I knew something was amiss. I decided to drive unannounced my local Jaguar Service dept, figuring they probably weren’t overwhelmed given current events. I explained the issue to the service associate and 30 minutes later my car was back to tip top. Service associate explained that much like Land Rovers, if you connect the car’s OBD to a generic unit (which was done last week to reset a service light after an oil change), the car’s system can think it’s being stolen, etc., so the management system does its best to disable the vehicle. All the Jag guys had to do was reset the module. All covered under the warranty.

Hope it helps anyone who may ever be in a similar situation. Thank you again Guy.

 

Good to hear the issue is resolved and THANKS for posting the full story.
