I have a 2011 Jaguar I bought it with no key and no battery so I towed it home put a new battery in the car and the key and I hopped in an the keyless didn't recognize the key at all so I put it in the slot and it said check smart key so I called s locksmith friend he programmed two more keys for me and said I had a kvm / bcm problem so I pulled the BCM and it was burned up on the motherboard it must have gotten wet and was no good so I was able to copy the data to a new one and I put it in plus I got a new kvm and put that in as well and that did nothing so I returned the KVm and went back to the original one and now I have no idea where to go from here the car is not recognizing the keys whatsoever any help would be much appreciated in Los Angeles California thank you

Since you are in LA. Call a place called sundwrenched motor werks in mission viejo. Google their website. Explain your problem and what has been done. The owner was lead tech at a jag dealership for years. He is honest and very knowledgeable. I have called him a few times. He should be able to help

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the keys. They can be a bit problematic at times. I went through contortions with mine when I first got it but finally solved the situation myself without spending the $500 for a dealership solution though I still spent about $100. My problem was different than yours.
